Hearing Augmentation in NSW Public School
Hearing Augmentation in NSW Public School
Location: Rutherford Public School, Rutherford, New South Wales
Hearing loss is quite common in Australia, affecting 3.6 million people country wide. With 3-6 children in every 1000 born with some degree of hearing loss, it is imperative to support these children during their time of development. Just like Rutherford Public School in NSW, schools across Australia are gearing up to implement new audio technology to support children with hearing needs. Brands like Phonak can help provide the instruments needed to create a dynamic classroom environment for all students.
Hearing loss in children can affect a child’s ability to listen, learn and develop speech. It can cause a child to slow down in their learning, lower their confidence and self-worth and can impact their mental and emotional wellbeing. To stop this, schools are implementing tools such as the Phonak Roger Focus and the Phonak Soundfield to better the learning conditions of students. Implementing hearing solutions such as the microphone in the video does not just positively affect the hearing-impaired children but also works to nurture confidence in all.
At PC Audio Visual, we can help install and provide these products to support hard of hearing children and help all students make learning fun. For more information, do not hesitate to contact us at admin@pcaudiovisual.com.au.
For more information on hearing loss, visit the Australian Australian Government Department of Health and Ages Care and the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.

Brighton School PA System
School PA System Upgrade
Location: Brighton, Melbourne, Victoria
This highly reputable school in Brighton needed an upgrade to their existing PA system that both met the standards of state health and safety legislation as well as visually not impacting on the appearance of the school. As it was necessary not to impact on the architectural design of the school, the new speakers would need to be hidden in plain sight.
After careful consultation, our experts installed waterproof IP66 rate external speakers in carefully considered locations as required so that all students and staff would be able to clearly hear all announcements, bells and alerts.

Setting up a Home Workspace
Setting up a Home Workspace
With the current Covid-19 pandemic, and the restrictions in place in Melbourne forcing many workplaces to adopt work from home practices, many of us are now looking to creating new workspaces at home.
This brings many challenges in creating a workspace that allows you to be the most productive you can be. We at PC Audio Visual want to help by providing some tips so you can create the ideal work at home space that is safe for you.
- Use an adjustable chair that supports your lower back curve
- Your screen should be at eve level so you are not slouching
- Your screen should be an arms-length away
- Your keyboard and mouse should be directly in front of you and positioned at least 10 to 15 cms away from the edge of the desk to allow for support of your forearms
- Your keyboard should be positioned parallel to your mouse to keep your arms close to your body to prevent neck and shoulder strain
- There should be adequate lighting and position your screen sideways to windows to avoid eye strength
- Ensure power points are not overloaded
- If using a laptop, consider using a stand that raises the screen to prevent strain on your neck and avoid slouching
- Ensure cables around your workplace are kept tidy to prevent any possible tripping hazards
- Your screen should be positioned directly in front of you, or position yourself in-between if using multiple screens.

An issue with the internet connection was present along with the AV cabling, presenting a possible tripping hazard. Having the internet, laptop, and main power connection for both the in-house and external (guest) laptops, this can lead to the user interface becoming messy and especially confusing.
