10. RogerTM for conversation in noise
and over distance
Roger systems help communication in noise and over
distance by wirelessly sending the speaker’s voice directly
to your hearing aids. A Roger system includes both a
microphone and receiver. Some Roger microphones also
support input from audio sources via Bluetooth® or cable.
Microphone: worn or placed close to the talker, or
connected to the audio source, directly transmits the
sound to your receiver(s) without disruptive background
noises.
Receiver(s): attached directly to your hearing aids or
worn on your body using a neckloop.
Combining your Phonak Sky B hearing aids with a Roger
wireless system enables you to hear and understand more
speech in challenging situations.

Your hearing aids are resistant to water, sweat and dust
under the following conditions:

object such as hair is caught in the battery door when it
is closed.
• After exposure to water, sweat or dust, the hearing aid
is cleaned and dried.
• The hearing aid is used and maintained as described in
this user guide.

air ow to the battery causing it to stop working.
Should your hearing aid stop working after coming
into contact with water, refer to the troubleshooting
steps in chapter 18.
