10. Roger for conversation in noise
and over distance
Are you often in situations where the noise level is high
or the distance to the speaker/talker is more than
1.5 m (5 feet)? For instance in
• noisy restaurants, cafés and bars
• family gatherings
• business meetings, presentations and lectures featuring
one or more speakers
• one-to-one conversations
• cell phone calls
• watching TV and listening to music
• in the car
• online video calls
Combining your Phonak Naída V hearing aids with a
Roger wireless microphone enables you to hear and
understand more speech in these challenging situations.
