Phonak Assistive Listening Devices

Do I need a Phonak Roger table microphone?

Phonak Roger table microphone and other Phonak Roger assistive listening devices (ALD) could help hear speech better in the presence of background noise. These devices are more helpful to those with severe to profound hearing loss than those with mild or mild to moderate hearing loss.

​

Why are Phonak Roger table microphones so expensive and what makes them different from other remote microphones?

Yes, Phonak Roger table microphones are more expensive than the remote microphones from other hearing aid manufacturers simply because the range of Phonak Roger microphones do speech sound processing at the location they are performing before streaming the speech signal to your hearing aids. The remote microphones of other hearing aid manufacturers are often simple yet sensitive microphones with Bluetooth capability to stream the surrounding sound to your hearing aids. As a result, Phonak Roger table microphones improve the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) in two layers, one that being closer to the source of speech and two processing the speech sound and reducing the noise in the signal before transmitting it to your hearing aids.
