[LM_NET] Voice amplification assistance

[Paula Johnson <pjohnson@BRISTOW.K12.OK.US>]

Two and one-half school days until Thanksgiving break -- and I can't wait!
:)

Until then, however, I have a huge list of to-dos.  On that list is some
help for one of our teachers.  This gentleman has been dealing with health
issues over the past two years.  The chemo and radiation have taken a toll
on his vocal chords, making it difficult for him to speak loudly enough in
class (he teaches high school Spanish).  I am trying to find some sort of
voice amplification system for him.  My fuzzy brain seems to recall having
seen some sort of device he can wear like a lanyard, with a couple of
speakers.

Does any of this ring a bell for anyone?  Or, any thoughts on companies or
places to look?  I can certainly do a general search, but would rather
recommend something I know has been successful in a classroom setting.

Thanks in advance,

pj
