Roger™ wireless microphones
Roger™ wireless hearing aid microphones
Difficulty communicating in background noise and/or over distance is one of the most common complaints of individuals with hearing loss¹ ². There are a number of factors that affect speech, including background noise level, distance from the speaker, acoustics of the environment and reverberation.
Placing a wireless microphone like Roger in close proximity to the speaker has several key benefits:
- Improves speech recognition in noise and at a distance
- Reduces the distance between speaker and listener
- Compensates for the effects of background noise and reverberation
What is Roger technology
Roger is an intelligent wireless technology that transmits speech directly to hearing aids and cochlear implants, helping to overcome distance and noise.
Functioning like a third ear, Roger microphones allow people with hearing loss to learn, work and socialize more easily — a big step towards more inclusive societies and greater personal well-being.
Roger technology works as a system that enables a speaker’s voice to be transmitted from a Roger wireless microphone to a listener’s hearing aid or cochlear implant via Roger receivers.
Up to 62% more understanding of speech in noise and over distance when wearing hearing aids in combination with Roger microphones, compared to people without hearing loss.
Who are Roger microphones for
Roger has been designed to be fit across all ages, all degrees of hearing loss and all form factors . It helps:
- Current hearing aid or cochlear implant users to hear in noisy situations

How Roger works
From the ability to calculate speech from 360 degrees to compatibility across almost all manufacturers, Roger gives people with hearing aids and cochlear implants the additional level of hearing performance they need to enjoy life more fully.
Adaptive to sound
The Phonak unique adaptive behavior technology measures and analyzes noise levels to keep the Roger signal audible above background noise. Hearing aid users understand almost 10 times better in noise and over distance with Roger technology, than people with normal hearing.
MultiBeam 2.0 technology
This sophisticated feature calculates speech from 360 degrees by using multiple microphones in six directions, and automatically chooses the direction with the best signal. In addition, it provides spatial information to know which direction the speech is coming from. Those with hearing loss can feel more supported in conversations thanks to this spatial information.
Access to multiple talkers
This feature allows for several Roger microphones to be connected in a MultiTalker Network and used together to provide those with hearing loss access to multiple talkers in any situation, whether it be a large work meeting, classrooms, or other multiple-talker environment.
Compatibility
Roger is compatible with almost any hearing aid and cochlear implant that has a direct audio input or telecoil, whether from Phonak or an alternate brand.
