Great news for people who have trouble hearing in groups. Phonak has just released a brand new microphone that is meant to be used in dynamic or noisy environments .
This microphone is called a Roger Table Mic and is set on a table picking up the speech of the people who are nearby. This piece of assistive technology works alongside hearing aids.
The way it works is that the microphone picks up the sound from the microphone (which looks like a box on the table) and transmits it wirelessly into a receiver that is attached to your hearing aid. This will work with any brand of hearing aid.
Currently we have one of our clients using the table top microphone with her Phonak hearing aids for playing bridge. She absolutely loves it as she can hear the bid with so much more ease.
If you are having trouble hearing in groups, let us know and we can set up a microphone for you to try to see if it works for you.
