@darlenedallas I do not have a Phonak hearing aid but I have tried the original Roger pen with my Resound hearing aids. For those that do not have Phonak aids, I had to use a Roger accessory to get the sound to my aids. In my case, since I have telecoils, I was able to use the Roger accessory without using headphones. I was impressed with the Roger pen. The clarity was phenomenal. It did a very good job in a noisy restaurant. I haven't tried any of the newer Roger products though. I'd love to get my hands on their newer products for review.

In late December I finally got the Roger ON in from my audiologist in time for Christmas with my family in LA. It is a more well rounded device than the partner mic which is so helpful for one on one. This Roger has three settings: 360 degrees for a table type use, a pointer mode for aiming at a particular person in a noisy venue, and a mode for a speaker to wear it so speech is directed to hearing aids. It is very helpful in its directional mode for small groups like dinners at home and restaurants. Its handy to keep track of just one device!

I have two Phonak Marvel hearing aids...I don't recall the model number but they are top of that model line. This version of Roger ON iN works for both Marvels and Paradise model aids. Its quite expensive because a license is required for each hearing aid that is connected to the device. I have two hearing aids so it was $!,680!

It is imperfect as all devices are but has been very helpful especially with masks, and group get togethers. Recently I have had a couple of feedback issues when using the pointer mode and I am asking my audiologist about that.

There is an included cable for TV use with the Roger in its charger. I have not used that yet and the instructions aren't included. I am going to LA again and hope to clarify how this works with my son. This TV mode supposedly does not interfere with the regular sound of the TV for everyone else. This can be tricky for lots of devices that connect to TVs, so I am hoping to get that figured out. In the meantime I have had good luck just having the Roger next to a TV speaker.

I am happy to have this device and find it very helpful in medical situations where doctors and staff all have masks. Its on a lanyard I made so I can have it around my neck in easy reach if needed but usually take it off to use it.

The cost really is a big concern...and I wonder about future upgrades in technology by Phonak and whether this will work with future generations.

Happy to answer any questions.
