2. Getting to know your
Roger NeckLoop
Your hearing solution consists of three main elements:
Roger NeckLoop, your hearing aid/sound processor
and a Roger microphone.
The Roger microphone transmits the talker’s voice
wirelessly to your hearing aid/sound processor via the
Roger NeckLoop. You only need to activate the T-coil in
your hearing aid/sound processor to hear the talker’s
voice loud and clear.
2.1 Compatibility
Your hearing aid/sound processor must feature a T-coil
to receive speech signals from Roger NeckLoop. Please
ask your hearing care professional if you are unsure
whether or not your hearing aids have a T-coil.
A compatible Roger microphone is also required to
pick up the voice of the talker.
