Abstract

To investigate the situation of FM systems used at elementary and junior high schools, I analyzed answers to questionnaires from the boards of education of administration units in Osaka Prefecture. One board of education did not grasp even the number of students with difficulty in hearing However, others were eagerly engaged in education for them. In 33 of 43 cities, 147 students are going to non-hearing-impaired elementary and 45 to junior high schools. In 16 cities, teachers use FM systems for all of these students. Totally, 61% and 44% of these students receive benefit from FM system at their classroom in the elementary and the junior high schools, respectively. In some instances, there are scarcely otolaryngologists' contributions.<br>Otolaryngologists should educate teachers more intensively.
