Campuses can be busy and bustling places with students, staff, and the community constantly passing through and heading to classes or places of work. College campuses can be like a small urban city that “never sleeps”. With so many distractions and sounds going on during all hours, it’s no wonder that prospective students on a campus tour might have a hard time gathering all of the right info for what could be their home for the next 4 years.
These facts might be hard to hear
Studies show, it is hard to learn when it is noisy on campus: two sounds that happen at the same time will mix into one messy, confusing sound.
Students and their parents struggle to remember words when changing noises play in the background such as car horns, busses, construction, landscapers, and more.
Most students with typical hearing need the guide to be at least as loud as the noise, & those with hearing loss need the guide to be significantly louder than the noise making the guide feel the need to constantly shout to be heard.
Why hearing clearly matters on campus tours
People who visit a campus and can focus on what is said in the tour are more likely to apply and enroll.
Personalized and inclusive tours lead to better conversion rates.
When students and their parents are impressed by the quality of the tour and the technology used, it makes them more likely to want to join your campus community (paying tuition and donating to your campus causes).
