I have two students in the same class trialling hearing devices. This entails me wearing a wireless microphone around the neck, and because the devices are different, two wireless microphones.
After one fell from its flimsy mechanism and I dropped the other I decided to ask what they were worth,… $6,500 and $3,500 respectively ie $10,000 worth of gear. Which, of course, led to the question of insurance and liability… It seems the school insurance would cover me, although, in theory, the students household insurance may cover them. Could be messy.
Totally worthwhile investment from a learning perspective, both students are better engaged and levels of achievement improving… probably need to cover liability details with a little more certainty however.
