FM systems

An  FM  system  is  an  assistive  listening  device  that  can 
be used as an accessory for Flash. The FM system makes 
it easier to understand speech in difficult listening situ-
ations. The FM system from Widex is called SCOLA.

The FM system consists of a small radio transmitter 
with a microphone placed near the speaker and a small 
radio receiver clicked onto Flash via an FM shoe. The 
operating range is approx. 15 metres depending on 
the surroundings. As the SCOLA system is wireless, 
both the listener and the speaker have full freedom of 
movement within the specified range. 

For help to determine whether you could benefit from 
an FM system, please consult your hearing care profes-
sional.
