The Roger Touchscreen Mic connects to multiple microphones and media devices, creating an ecosystem that ensures full classroom interaction. It allows students to hear all speakers and instructional media clearly. Additionally, it pairs with Roger DigiMaster loudspeakers to amplify sound from the teacher, students, and other media sources, making it accessible to the entire class, including those with and without hearing loss. Discover this ecosystem here Roger for education.
During class or lectures, the teacher can wear the Roger Touchscreen Mic around the neck, in lanyard mode, and the microphones will be in the optimal position to pick up their voice.
The Roger Touchscreen Mic uses three built-in microphones that work together in a clever, adaptive way. When placed on a table, it automatically focuses on the person speaking in the group. In one study, every single child preferred listening to their peers during classroom activities when using the Roger Touchscreen Mic in Small Group mode, compared to hearing aids alone.3
Sometimes, the student themselves is the one using the Roger Touchscreen Mic. For instance, they might take it with them to different classes. The pointing mode lets a child or teen easily aim the microphone toward the teacher to capture their voice, with a pick-up range of up to 4 meters (or 13 feet).
Roger Touchscreen Mic is compatible with almost any hearing aid or cochlear implant but requires one of the following receivers to be functional.
All new generation of Roger microphones have unlimited receivers built in and ready to use with Phonak hearing aids integrating RogerDirect™.
Roger NeckLoop is a universal neck loop receiver compatible with any hearing aid or cochlear implant with a t-coil.
Roger X is a miniature universal receiver that is compatible with virtually every hearing aid and cochlear implant speech processor on the market.
These receivers fit into the design of selected cochlear audio processors and are available in matching colors.
When the primary Roger Touchscreen Mic goes out of range, the secondary Roger Touchscreen Mic takes over to keep the network running. Upon returning to the network range, the original primary reconnects automatically and resumes its role.
When using the Roger Touchscreen Mic in SubNet mode for solo learning, it creates a separate, isolated network that allows it to function independently without receiving audio from the main network. It also enables the secondary Touchscreen Mic to be used in Small Group mode. To use it, tap the SubNet icon, then connect the students' receivers by tapping the Connect icon within 10 cm of the receivers. When finished, tap the Network icon and reconnect the students' receivers to the main network either by tapping Connect icon or having them reconnect via the Roger WallPilot.
Yes, if Roger Touchscreen Mic is running firmware version 1.2 or higher. The microphone mode (lanyard, or automatic, or group, or pointing) selected before activating Quick Menu will be locked. It will remain locked until the Quick Menu is disabled.
