FM systems
An FM system is an assistive listening device that can
be used as an accessory for the hearing aid. The FM sys-
tem makes it easier to understand speech in difficult
listening situations.
The FM system from Widex is called
SCOLA. The FM system consists of a
wireless microphone placed near the
speaker and a receiver clicked onto the
hearing aid via an FM shoe. The oper-
ating range is approx. 15 metres de-
pending on the surroundings. As the
system is wireless, both the listener
and the speaker have full freedom of
movement within the specified range.
The SCOLA FM system can be set according to your
needs. This may mean that the hearing aid program
button will work differently than when using an audio
shoe.
For help to determine whether you could benefit from
an FM system, please consult your hearing care profes-
sional.
