What is Phonak Roger?

Phonak Roger is an innovative technology designed specifically to help people with hearing loss in challenging listening environments. Whether in busy restaurants, meetings, classrooms or other situations with high background noise, Roger systems significantly improve speech understanding. But what makes Phonak Roger so unique? How exactly does it work and who is it intended for? In this blog, we take a closer look at all aspects of this advanced hearing technology.

How does Phonak Roger work?

Phonak Roger uses digital wireless technology to send speech directly to hearing aids or cochlear implants. This is done via a wireless microphone that picks up the speaker’s voice and transmits it to a receiver that is linked to the hearing aid. This reduces background noise and makes speech clearer and more intelligible.

Unlike traditional FM systems, Roger works with a dynamic adaptive algorithm that automatically adjusts to the environment. This means that the system itself can recognize when there is more noise and amplifies the signal accordingly, without the user having to adjust settings.

There are several benefits to using Phonak Roger, including:

• Improved speech understanding – Roger technology improves speech understanding in noisy situations by up to 62% more than traditional hearing aids alone.
• Automatic noise reduction – The system automatically adjusts to ambient noise so that conversations always remain clear.
• Wireless connectivity – Roger microphones can be connected to multiple receivers, making group conversations easier to monitor.
• Versatility – Roger is suitable for both adults and children and can be used in a variety of situations, including school, work and home.
