The Phonak Roger On V2 is the newest addition to the illustrious Phonak Roger range. It combines all the best features of the Roger On with an added new feature of the “Headset Mode” to help with online meetings and video calls, with integrated microphones this essentially transforms your hearing aids into a wireless headset.

The Roger On v2 is a remote microphone device that is particularly useful for enhancing conversations that occur in background noise and  over distance. The Roger On v2 has been described as the best noise cancelling hearing aid accessory.

Headset Mode:

With Headset Mode, you can replace the uncomfortable headset you once used for online meetings, instead, you can stream the voices of those in the meeting directly to your hearing aids, whilst the microphone of the Roger On V2 will stream the sound of your voice to the meeting in the same way a headset usually would. Thanks to the clever technology within the Roger On V2, you won’t need to adjust the volume of your hearing aids either whilst in Headset Mode – the Roger On V2 works alongside your specific hearing aid(s) settings to ensure that the volume of the voices being streamed to your hearing aids would be the same volume if they were right in front of you, in person.

2. Placed in the stand: This can be placed in the docking station, ensuring the device is pointing in your direction picking up only your voice, it will significantly reduce background noise that may occur in your surroundings.
3. Clipped onto clothing: When this is clipped to an item of clothing i.e. a shirt/blouse the device forms a short directional beam that points up towards your mouth ensuring your voice is captured accurately , providing the best speech pick up of all 3 modes

For other hearing aids, the universal Roger X or Roger Neckloop can be used.

These Roger X receivers offer the most direct signal from the Roger On to your aids. Roger X receivers and shoes are sold separately.

Roger Neckloop Receiver: This receiver is worn around your neck and acts in a similar way as the Roger X receiver. You would only need to purchase one, rather than two. The Roger Neckloop is also sold separately.
