Fitting Guide
Roger and Cochlear Implants
This guide provides detailed information on how Roger should be used with the most popular cochlear implant sound processors to
achieve the best possible performance.
A recent study by Dr. Jace Wolfe of Hearts for Hearing Foundation Oklahoma City revealed that the use of Roger systems in
combination with cochlear implants resulted in significant improvements in speech recognition at high noise levels (70 to 80 dB (A))
over fixed gain FM and Dynamic FM technologies (see www.phonakpro.com)

Pre-fitting
Program the sound processor with the recommended settings according to the table below. This will ensure maximum benefit from the
Roger system.
Model Recommended sound processor setting
AB Naída CI Q70 Set the Audio Mixing Ratio (Mic/Aux) to 50/50
AB Naída CI Q70 via ComPilot Set the ComPilot Mixing Ratio to either 50 or 5%
AB Harmony / Auria Set the Audio Mixing Ratio (Mic/Aux) to 50/50
Cochlear Nucleus 6 / 5 Set Mixing Ratio to 1:1 and select Autosensitivity
TM
+ ADRO configuration
MED-EL OPUS 2 None required
Bodyworn processors using ML CI S If available, set the Mixing Ratio to 50/50 or 1:1 for the AI program
For Roger 14 and Roger 1 , no pre-programming is required.
For MED-EL sound processor and CI systems using ML CI S, no Roger X pre-programming is required
For Cochlear’s Nucleus 6, Nucleus 5, Freedom or the Advanced Bionics Harmony / Auria systems, Roger X
*
must be pre-programmed. A
Roger inspiro is required for programming Roger X.
1. Connect Roger X to the sound processor or ComPilot and switch it on.
2. Turn Roger inspiro on, hold it close to Roger X (less than 10 cm/4 inches) and select the function Check.
3. Click Manage, scroll to ‘CI module’ then click OK.
4. Scroll to the corresponding value as shown in the table below.
5. Scroll to EasyGain and click OK.
6. Set the EasyGain to the corresponding value as shown in the table below.
Model Recommended CI
module setting
Recommended EasyGain AutoConnect
MED-EL OPUS 2 and ML CI S (automatic setting)
Default 0dB ON
MED-EL OPUS 2 (manual setting) Setting 2 0dB OFF
AB Naída CI Q70 with ComPilot and Roger X Setting 3 0dB OFF
AB Harmony / Auria Setting 4 or Setting 1 +8dB or 0dB OFF
MicroLink CI S (manual setting) Setting 5 0dB OFF
Cochlear Nucleus 6 / 5 Setting 9 0dB OFF
This will ensure that the Roger X output impedances match the input impedance of the sound processor. These settings have been
thoroughly tested with CI recipients.
* Available for Roger X (02) only
Getting started
Step 1: Attach Roger receiver
Switch all equipment off. If required, remove the standard cover or
hook and attach the adapter to the sound processor. Now attach
the Roger receiver to the sound processor, adapter, battery or to
ComPilot.
Step 2: Switching on
Ask the user to put on the sound processor and switch it on. If
available switch also the ComPilot on.
The sound processor should automatically detect the presence of
the Roger receiver. If this is not the case, manually change to the
program utilizing the recommended Roger program settings.
Step 3: Connect
Hold the Roger microphone close to the Roger receiver (within 10
cm/4 inches) and press the Connect button on the Roger
microphone. The user should now report that he/she has heard the
confirmation beeps (a low tone followed by a high tone).
If the user did not hear the confirmation beeps, you may need to
manually switch the processor into the DAI, EXT, ComPilot or AUX
program. Repeat this connect process until your patient hears the
beeps.
Step 4: Test the system
Consider testing the user’s speech recognition in quiet with the CI
alone by muting the Roger microphone and standing close to your
patient. Then test the user’s speech recognition through the Roger
microphone while standing at least 3 meters away. Listening
performance should be similar between these two conditions.

Troubleshooting
Most probable cause Solution
Signal from Roger microphone cannot be heard
Sound processor is set in the wrong program
Roger receiver is not connected to the Roger microphone
Roger microphone is not switched on or is muted
CI user is out of range of the Roger microphone
Batteries are empty
Switch the sound processor to the dedicated DAI, EXT ComPilot or
AUX program
Connect Roger receiver with the Roger microphone (see Step 3)
Switch on the Roger microphone and make sure it is not muted
Ask the CI user to move closer to the Roger microphone to be
within its operating range
Use fresh batteries or make sure the rechargeable battery pack is
full charged
Processor microphones are attenuated
Mixing ratio
Microphone sensitivity
Make sure a mixing ratio other than ‘Aux Only’ is being utilized for
AB users. Ensure a 1:1 mixing ration for Cochlear users is utilized
(see recommended sound processor setting table)
Make sure microphone sensitivity has not been reduced in the DAI,
EXT, ComPilot or AUX program
The Roger microphone’s signal suffers from interruptions
The Roger microphone is too far away or shielded by obstacles
(e.g., human body)
Reduce the distance between Roger receiver and the Roger
microphone, and ensure both devices are in line of sight
Special features for educational system*
Programming of EasyGain
If the volume of the Roger system is not satisfactory, you can
change the gain of the receiver via Roger inspiro. Hold Roger
inspiro close to Roger receiver (less than 10 cm/4 inches) and press
Check. Roger receiver information will appear on the inspiro’s
screen.
Press Manage, scroll with the cursor to EasyGain and press OK.
Now you can change the gain of the receiver in the range of
-8 to +8 dB.
*Available for Roger X (02) only.
