Description¶
Phonak Roger Focus II is a Sonova/Phonak wireless classroom remote-microphone and receiver system that transmits a teacher's speech directly to a student's ear-level receivers to improve listening access in noise.
Components¶
- Phonak Roger Focus II remote microphone system for classroom use: The trialed intervention is a teacher-worn Phonak Roger Touchscreen Microphone transmitter wirelessly connected to ear-level Roger Focus II-312 receivers worn bilaterally by the student. Unlike hearing aids, "these receivers exclusively obtain wireless signals from the Roger Touchscreen Transmitter at safe, comfortable and adjustable (-8 to +8 dB) volumes", fitted with open domes to minimize occlusion and adjusted in 2 dB increments to individual comfort. (Shiels et al. (2026))
Claims¶
