The Roger Pen is anadvanced wireless microphone for hearing aid users and cochlear implant recipients. With its inconspicuous design, it mimics a pen in shape and looks more like a stylish device than a medical instrument. The Roger Pen was selected to receive the coveted seal of design excellence in the category of Medical, Rehabilitation and Health Care by an international, high-profile jury of design professionals, press members and academics.  

“We are delighted and greatly honored to receive yet another award,” said Drs. Hans Mülder, Marketing Director of Phonak Communications. “The German Design Award recognizes our efforts to combine stunning hearing performance with outstanding design. We feel especially honored, as it is not an open contest, but a competition only open to entries that have been nominated for the German Design Award by the German Design Council, one of its foundation members, or a German state’s economics ministry ”

With the Roger Pen, hearing aid users understand up to 62% better than people without hearing loss in noise and over distance, which is impossible with any hearing aid alone¹. The device is easy to use, features wideband Bluetooth for wireless cell phone calls and transmits the sound from the TV wirelessly to the ears, making users’ lives easier. A network can be made of up to 10 Roger Pens so that a hearing aid user can be wirelessly connected to multiple talkers, allowing them to converse in the most challenging of all environments: in high noise, over distance with multiple conversation partners.
