5 Beneficial Modes:

1. Table Mode: In challenging environments such as noisy restaurants or business meetings we know it can be difficult to hear the speakers sitting further away from you and you don’t want your hearing aids picking up too much speech from another table near your own. In this situation you can place the Roger On iN V2 on the table closest to the people at your table that are the furthest away. So the person speakings voice only has to travel to the microphones of the Roger On and not all the way to the microphones of your hearing aids. Phonak’s multi-beam 2.0 technology then analyses the environment 100’s of times per second and automatically compares the speech and noise arriving at the microphone array. It chooses the direction with the best signal to noise ratio having recognised where the speech signal is coming from. It then delivers the cleanest speech signal directly to your hearing aids. It also preserves the direction of where the speech is coming from.
