Phonak Roger Select – Wireless Transmitting Microphone

Description

The Roger Select is a state-of-the-art wireless microphone that incorporates MultiBeam Technology to offer an excellent understanding of speech within the noise.

The Phonak Roger Select utilizes multiple microphones in six directions.

Understanding group conversation in background noise is 61% better with the Roger Select than with hearing aids alone.

The Roger Select is a versatile microphone, ideal for everyday situations where background noise is present. When used in conjunction with suitable Roger receivers, such as Roger X ear-level receivers or a Roger MyLink neck loop receiver it connects to a variety of hearing aids. These receivers are sold separately.

Alternatively, the Roger Select iN is the latest version of the Roger Select and has the capability to install Roger receivers directly to Marvel hearing aids for direct streaming – no need to attach an external receiver.

Roger Select can be used in many different situations, such as:

• In restaurants or cafés
• In small group conversations with up to six participants
• In one-on-one conversations with a friend, partner, or caregiver
• During lectures or in class
• Outdoors and indoor activities (such as the gym or guided tours)
• Watching TV
• Phone calls
• Audio/voice from the computer or radio and other devices.

How to use:

Connecting the Roger Select to hearing aids:

You can use the Roger Select with most hearing aids, cochlear implants, and Bahas. A Roger receiver is required to bring the signal from Roger Select into the hearing system. For most Phonak hearing aids as well as all recent cochlear implant sound processors, there is a design integrated Roger receiver. For other hearing aids, the universal Roger X or Roger MyLink can be used.

Roger X Receiver: A Roger X receiver are small and discreet receivers that would be attached to each of the hearing aids using a specific adapter known as a ‘Shoe’. These Roger X receivers and shoes are sold separately.

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

Alternatively, some Phonak devices include receiver technology which means no additional receivers/parts are required. These devices are named the Roger iN.

Group conversations with up to six participants:

When placed in the center of a table, the Roger Select automatically detects the person who is talking and seamlessly switches from one person speaking to the next.  When multiple conversations take place, you can tap a segment to select whom to listen to, you can add other people by tapping additional segments. To hear the whole group again, you simply tap the centre touch key.

The Roger Select indicator lights indicate which microphone segments you have activated, easily indicating your selection of audio direction.

Background noise is no problem for the Roger Select – during streaming, this background noise is reduced to give you more clarity of the person speaking.

In one-on-one conversations:

Roger Select allows you to hear a single conversation partner over distance or in very noisy environments, with a range of up to 10 meters (30 feet).

Your friends and family simply clip the Roger Select onto their clothing or hang it around their neck with the lanyard provided. Your Roger Select automatically switches to the appropriate microphone; no hassle switching programs!

Watching TV:

Using the different types of audio cables provided, you can choose to connect your docking station to your television. Simply place the Roger Select into your docking station and the TV audio is then streaming to your hearing aids.

An alternative way to stream audio through your TV directly into your aids is to simply use the Digital Audio Cable or the Audio 3.5 mm jack cable which are included.

Phone calls & Bluetooth:

You can either connect your Roger Select to your mobile phone using the suitable audio cables provided, or you can connect via Bluetooth. Roger Select can be connected to any device that can do phone calls such as cell phones, landline phones, etc. Provided the device has a Bluetooth or a Bluetooth hub connected.

Your Roger microphone supports Bluetooth Class 2 operation up to a range of 3 meters (10 ft).

You can also hear phone calls directly to your hearing aids, accept phone calls, use the Select as a microphone, and end a call all using your Roger Select device.

Other Audio Devices:
