Roger Select™ is a versatile Bluetooth® microphone for hearing aids that is ideal for stationary situations where background noise is present. When used as a table mic, it discreetly and automatically selects the person who is talking and seamlessly switches from one talker to another. In scenarios where more than one conversation is happening, users can manually select who to listen to.
Roger Select is a versatile wireless microphone designed to help improve your quality of conversations in a group setting, and is ideal for stationary situations.
Roger Select is designed with 360-degree microphones that automatically selects who is talking from any direction, making it an ideal solution for dining with friends or family gatherings.
Roger Select reduces distracting background noise like the rattle of kitchen utensils or the blare from a TV, so you can enjoy conversations with family and loved ones.
In the dynamic listening environment of a hallway or at distance, Roger Select can be used as clip-on mic for one-on-one conversations.
Bluetooth® wireless technology provides an easy way to connect the Roger Select with a phone*. When talking on the phone, just tap the center button of your microphone to accept and end the call.
Be confident you won’t get caught without power with up to 8 hours of continuous use on a fully charged battery.
Roger Select utilises multiple microphones in six directions, so speech is covered in 360°
better understanding of group conversations in background noise than with hearing aids alone¹
Now I don’t need to worry that I won’t understand things. I can even turn my head or stand facing away and still hear what others are saying. It’s opened up an entire new world for me.
Roger Select features a discreet design with several modes that automatically adjust so you can simply enjoy the conversation.
With its fully automatic directional microphones, there is no need to manually turn Roger Select into the correct position.
MultiBeam Technology utilises multiple microphones, with beams created in six directions to cover 360°. The signal-to-noise ratio for all six directions is calculated and the beam with the best clarity is automatically selected, so it seamlessly switches from one talker to another.
Several modes provide optimal usage including table mode, selection mode, and clip-on lapel mode–when worn on a chest, an accelerometer detects its orientation and steers one of the 6 beams upwards towards the mouth of someone talking.
Roger Select wirelessly transmits a sound to hearing aids. Because of its versatility, you can stream the sound from TVs, music players, computers, gaming systems, and other multimedia devices by simply connecting to the included docking station or micro-USB socket.
MultiTalker Network allows multiple microphones to be used in a network.
