Medical centres, waiting rooms, and consulting suites often suffer from high background noise levels caused by hard surfaces and crowded layouts. Sontext acoustic panels effectively reduce reverberation and improve privacy, comfort, and speech clarity in these sensitive environments.

Most consulting rooms in the health professions – medical, dental, optical, etc - have a standard process related to the patients’ admission procedure. Medical centres of all types usually welcome patients in a reception area, then have them wait in defined waiting rooms until their turn comes to be ushered into a consulting room or surgery.

With unwanted noise in mind, two key criteria are involved in this process – Ensuring patients are as relaxed as possible, and ensuring patients have as much privacy as possible. Specifically, patients and visitors in waiting rooms do not want to hear everything being said in the reception area or the private conversations in the consulting rooms. 

Good acoustic design is essential in medical spaces to minimise stress, protect patient confidentiality, and ensure clear communication. Sontext panels can be installed on ceilings or walls to reduce echo and help create a calm, functional interior.
