Technical data

SCOLAbuddy is specially designed for use in

schools and educational institutions, where it pro-

vides a number of advantages.

FLEXIBILITY

The SCOLAbuddy unit is worn on a neck loop (available in

two different lengths), and delivers the signal via induc-

tion to the telecoil of the user’s hearing aid. As a result,

SCOLAbuddy will work with any make of hearing aid that

uses a telecoil, including both BTE and ITE types, as well as

with cochlear processors or bone anchored hearing aids,

using the MT or T setting.

SCOLAbuddy is programmable for many different

usage situations and user requirements. Using the

SCOLAprogrammer , the jack connection can be config-

ured for use with headphones for non-hearing aid use –

for example in the case of children with various auditory

disorders.

SIMPLICITY

Using SCOLAbuddy is simplicity itself. The user just slips

the loop around his or her neck, turns it on, and as soon as

the transmitter is ready, they’re ready to go. SCOLAbuddy

is operated using a simple, intuitive three-button system

with two indicator LEDs. It’s that simple.

Selecting the correct channel can be done in one of sev-

eral ways. The user can for example scan for the correct

channel by pressing the scan button once – SCOLAbuddy

will then search for the channel being used. When the

channel is found, the FM-LED lights up, and an audible

signal sounds in the hearing aid. The correct channel can

also be automatically assigned by the SCOLAclassmate

channel synchroniser as the pupil enters the room, or by

the teacher’s SCOLAteach transmitter.
