As part of the project, all partners collected good practices. In order to cover the whole field, the work focused on three target groups / three levels.

The collection of good practices and the analysis of data allowed us to look at existing experiences in different countries in relation to all target groups and at all levels, but with a particular focus on the international level.

A total of 333 good practices were collected and evaluated during the project. Most of them in English (278), but a significant number are also in Bulgarian (32) and Turkish (19).

Although some of the good practices are not in English, all of the descriptions are, and can be translated and adapted as needed (at the request of Asian partners).

Title of practice:	FM systems
Author/developer:	University of Vienna
Language:	German
Description of good practice:	FM systems can significantly improve the hearing of students with hearing impairments in the university. They can use these systems that provide greater clarity of speech/sound. Students at the University of Vienna can borrow handy FM systems for the various events, organised by the university, as well as for lectures. FM systems are handy and mobile. The FM systems enable direct voice transmission (for lectures or conversations) to a hearing aid. The speaker wears a radio microphone. The student with hearing impairment wears a radio receiver that receives the signals from the microphone and transmits them to the hearing aid. The receiver can either be attached directly to the hearing aid or worn around the neck. Since the speech is transmitted directly to the hearing aid, a very poor acoustic room situation can also be compensated for.
