The ZAB maintains its own pool of assistive devices and thus makes an active contribution to the technical support of students and employees with disabilities, chronic or mental illness.
The ZAB supports employees and trainees with disabilities, chronic-somatic and chronic-psychological illnesses in selecting and applying for suitable portable aids.
Portable aids or assistive technologies include, for example, noise protection headphones, mobile inductive hearing systems or the free ZAB app UniMaps. Permanently installed work aids can be lifting devices, pollen protection grids, monitor swivel arms and much more.
At the ZAB, various aids and assistive technologies can be tested and, if necessary, temporarily borrowed. In this way, the individually suitable aid can be found and the sometimes long application period with the responsible cost units can be bridged.
In the premises of the ZAB and at events in rooms without a permanently installed inductive hearing system, it is possible to use mobile inductive hearing systems.
Hearing aid users or implant wearers may have the option of applying for their own individual aids from the health insurance fund or, if necessary for study or work, from the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe. The ZAB will be happy to advise you on this by individual arrangement.
At Bielefeld University, it is also possible to borrow the appropriate aids, such as mobile induction loops, microphones or induction loop receivers. If you are interested in testing or borrowing devices and if you have any questions, please contact us(zab@uni-bielefeld.de)!
Attention: In order to use these aids, the hearing aids or the processors of the implants must have an activated T-coil!
The university also has 5 mobile inductive listening system sets from Beyerdynamic.
Important: In order to use these aids, the hearing aids or the processors of the implants must have an activated T-coil.
