Technical Support
The Resource Center provides technical support/troubleshooting for FM/DM/HAT systems we rent to districts and general information on hearing aid troubleshooting.
Hearing Aid Loaner Bank
The Resource Center provides loaner hearing aids to students who cannot afford to purchase them or while a student's hearing aids are being repaired. Hearing Aids are donated by community organizations and individuals. Our audiologist fits and programs the hearing aids for each student. For those who wish to purchase hearing aids, our audiologist is available to assist with selection and provides fitting and programming free of charge.
FM/DM/HAT Rental Program
The Resource Center rents FM/DM/HAT systems to public schools in Missouri. Options include personal systems, ear-level aid systems, and individual or group soundfield systems. Our audiologist determines the most appropriate system based on the individual student and school environment.
Systems are rented for one school year. At the end of the year, all systems are returned to MSD for inventory counts and servicing. A new rental agreement is required each year. Arrangements can be made for students attending summer school programs; please contact the Resource Center for more information.
Districts wishing to purchase their own FM/DM/HAT system can have our audiologist assist them with selecting the best system for their needs.
