Description

The Phonak Roger SoundField Touchscreen Mic is designed for use with Roger SoundField classroom systems such as the DigiMaster range.

5. Simple operation: Intuitive touchscreen controls make daily use straightforward.

Connectivity

To pair your Phonak Roger SoundField Touchscreen Mic with any hearing aids other than Phonak Marvel, Paradise, Lumity or Infinio Platforms, you will need a receiver. The Phonak Roger SoundField Touchscreen Mic 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 SoundField Touchscreen Mic, 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.
