Cochlear implant at 93

My audi didn't show me how to work the Roger, but I also didn't ask. I thought it was plug-n-play. But I've experimented with the Ambient balance button on the Phonak app and by adjusting the slider left or right (I believe it is left) I can block out a little or a lot of the noise around me. You also can't lay the Roger on a table if it is in a loud bar as laying it down like that will cause out to pick up 360 degrees of sound. You would need to point it to the speaker at the table. But I also use Roger on the middle of the table of a Board of Directors meeting and it works great. No adjustments needed to Ambient balance since Board meeting are more civilized than a sports bar! So Roger definitely works well, but you need to see Audi and tell them specifically what situations you want to use it in and have them show you how to do it or add a program to do it.

It is an expensive ALD but it can be worth every penny if used right. I can't live without it. I also use my mini partner mic for one-on-one situations like in a car.

Good luck
Mike

That may be part of my problem is that I have put it down on the table. With my CI I can't use the Phonak app like you discussed. I have to use AB Remote app and I don't find a slider for background noise. Stay tuned....I will keep working on it.
