Phonak Roger features
Today, I’m talking about Phonak Roger. It is a wireless technology that helps users overcome distance and noise. It wirelessly sends the sound of a speaker’s voice from a microphone directly to Phonak hearing aids or Advanced Bionics cochlear implants. The hearing aids or cochlear implants can connect to the microphone using a small attachment on the bottom called a receiver or boot. *Roger is compatible with hearing devices from multiple manufacturers.
RogerDirect
A technology called RogerDirect allows for a direct connection between Roger wireless devices, Phonak hearing aids, and Advanced Bionics cochlear implants without using a physical receiver or boot on the bottom. This can be activated by your audiologist. The Phonak Marvel & Paradise hearing aids as well as the Advanced Bionics Naida CI M & Sky CI M cochlear implants support RogerDirect.
Automatic Adjustment
Phonak Roger technology makes speech louder than the background noise, so that it’s easier to understand speech in the most challenging listening situations like noisy rooms, restaurants, and schools. If it gets noisier in your environment, the speech level is adjusted automatically so you can hear your best.
MultiBeam
Phonak Roger offers MultiBeam technology. For meetings, table top microphone devices like the Roger Select and Roger Table Mic II have multiple microphones that automatically select the input with less noise and the best speech clarity. This allows you to better understand whoever is speaking in a group situation.
MultiTalker Network
Phonak Roger also features MultiTalker networks. This allows you to broadcast multiple Roger microphones to a pair of hearing aids so you can hear multiple speakers in a room at once. This can be helpful for adults in group gatherings and also for children in a classroom setting.
