Phonak Roger Select 3

Description

The New generation of Roger microphones -What’s New?

The Phonak Roger Select 3 microphone, part of the updated new Roger portfolio, introduces several enhancements designed to improve its usability and effectiveness for hearing aid users. Compared to the previous versions, the Roger Select 3 includes a new Stereo-Wide pointing mode, enabling better localization, and also includes an unlimited amount of Type 02 receivers, eradicating the need for additional receivers, and providing the most versatile and highest quality audio. The design of the device itself has proved popular in recent models, so this has stayed the same, however it now includes a scratch resistant display to enhance the durability and reduce the risk of being damaged. With an update of the myRogerMic app also, the usability of the Roger Select 3 has increased dramatically, with new functions available to control the device using the app.

Features:

1. Table Microphone Mode: This mode is perfect for use in a small meeting room, where everybody’s voice counts in the conversation and needs to be heard, thanks to the Phonak Roger Select 3’s four 6-directional microphones. You can choose exactly which directions are required to prioritise speech from either front, left or all around. This fantastic mode will still drown out any unwanted background noise, so it is also perfect for a trip to the pub with friends!
2. TV Mode: This fantastic feature eradicates the need for an additional Phonak TV Connector, and instead allows you to connect your Phonak Roger Select 3 to your TV, by simply connecting the included 3.5mm audio cable from your Roger device to the TV. This allows crystal clear, zero latency sound to be transmitted from your TV to your hearing aids, whilst still allowing other users to hear the TV from the TV speakers. Gone are the days of having your TV’s volume at the maximum level (I’m sure everybody will be delighted with that especially!).
3. Wireless Streaming: The Phonak Roger Select 3 allows you to stream audio directly into your compatible hearing aid from multiple audio devices such as TV’s, mobiles, laptops, PC’s and tablets.
4. Wireless Microphone: The Phonak Roger Select 3 is the newest addition to the Phonak Roger range and is a wireless microphone system designed to improve speech understanding in challenging listening environments. It features advanced microphone technology that picks up speech from the speaker and streams it directly to the user’s hearing aids.
5. Multi-Functional Design: The Phonak Roger Select 3 is a versatile wireless microphone that offers multiple functions. It can be used as a standalone microphone, a remote microphone, or a table microphone, providing flexibility in various listening situations.
6. Speech-in-Noise Enhancement: With its advanced microphone technology, the Phonak Roger Select 3 prioritizes speech over background noise, making it easier for users to understand conversations in noisy environments such as restaurants, parties, or meetings.
7. Directional Microphones: The Phonak Roger Select 3 features directional microphones that can be adjusted to focus on specific speakers or sound sources. This allows users to hear speech more clearly, even in challenging listening situations with competing noises.
8. Automatic Microphone Switching: The Roger Select automatically switches between microphone modes based on the listening environment, ensuring optimal performance without the need for manual adjustments.
9. Long Battery Life: The Phonak Roger Select 3 comes with a rechargeable battery that provides extended usage time. Users can enjoy up to 10 hours of continuous operation on a single charge, ensuring reliable performance throughout the day.

Connectivity

To pair your Phonak Roger Select 3 with any hearing aids other than Phonak Marvel, Paradise, Lumity or Infinio Platforms, you will need a receiver. The Phonak Roger Select 3 will not work with other hearing aids without a receiver! You can either use a TeleCoil neckloop, such as the Phonak Neckloop Receiver (02) or the Phonak Roger X Receiver (02), depending whether your hearing aid is compatible or not. The differences of the two receivers are shown below:

Phonak Neckloop Receiver

The Phonak Neckloop Receiver is only compatible for hearing aids that are TeleCoil enabled, often referred to as the ‘T function’. On some TeleCoil hearing aids, it is a switch/button on the aid itself, and to put it into ‘T mode’, you have to flick the switch and it will then start looking for a TeleCoil receiver, and on other hearing aids, it is on all the time, ready to pick up the nearest TeleCoil system. This is something that must be worn around the neck at all times when using the Phonak Roger Select 3, but is a cheaper alternative to the Phonak X Receiver (if using one per hearing aid, and you have 2) This Neckloop can also be used with any TeleCoil microphone/system, so it is a versatile receiver.

Phonak Roger X Receiver

The Phonak Roger X Receiver is a small device that gets plugged into the hearing aid itself and holds a receiver license within it. Some hearing aids are directly compatible and the X receiver can be plugged directly into the hearing aid, and some other models may require what is called an ‘audio shoe’ that goes between the receiver and the hearing aid to ensure connectivity. Audio shoes are made for non-Phonak branded hearing aids. If you are unsure whether you need an audio shoe or not, please send an email to support@hearcaredirect.co.uk and we can help out. If your hearing aid hasn’t got an available audio shoe, do not worry as there are other solutions; some brands offer microphones that have a port for the Phonak Roger X Receiver, which allows you to plug the X receiver into the microphone, which then causes the microphone to act as the receiver. Some products that offer this are:

• GN ReSound MultiMic
• Oticon EduMic
• Phonak ComPilot II

The Phonak Roger X Receiver is a more convenient option than the Phonak Roger Neckloop Receiver, as it is much smaller and does not have to be carried around the neck, so it is very discreet. It is a more expensive option if you are wanting to stream audio via 2 hearing aids, though, as you would require 1 receiver per hearing aid.
