This study aimed to describe and analyze the Frequency Modulation System - FM (or other wireless transmission system) adaptation process and its consistency of use in the classroom in children with hearing loss, taking into consideration family role relevance as an intermediary between the healthy service system and the school. The participants of this study were children´s parents or guardians, who received the equipment from SUS in Derdic / PUCSP in 2015. As part of the methodology a couple of steps were carried out: medical records analysis, FM equipment adaptation and initial explanations to parents and / or guardians, such as device handling, battery lifetime and transmitter / microphone handling. At the same day, parents were asked to take this information to teachers and two returns were scheduled. At the first return, held a week after the device delivery, three activities were carried out: a speech perception evaluation, an initial interview with parents to obtain non-recorded information and the application of a socioeconomic questionnaire. The second return was held thirty days after the FM delivery, when daily use of the FM system was registered by reading the transmitter record, and another interview with parents was performed, collecting information regarding the use and difficulties encountered. As results, 43.9% children used FM consistently and 56.1% inconsistently. Additionally, it was found that kids with unilateral losses tended to lower use of FM. 25.0% used it consistently and 75.0% inconsistently. There was no statistically significant association in the consistent use of FM when compared to the school characteristics. Most parents reported that their children were using FM, nevertheless, the average hours / day did not confirm this information. It is known that FM system non-consistency of use may lead to lower children´s school performance, reducing their opportunities and learning quality. Nonetheless, the consequences are only measurable in the medium and long term, which may explain why the FM consistent use is low at the beginning. The findings of this study suggested that there should be greater teacher´s monitoring by parents together with an audiologist, who can verify the use of the FM system at the school through direct measurements on the transmitter. Indicators such as the evolution of child´s academic performance might be a good way to track the system use effectiveness in the medium to long term
