Roger On Technology

A small hand-held or necklace accessory used with the Roger technology measures the surrounding noise level and adapts the volume accordingly. The accessory is small and compact and can be pointed at people or objects (television) from a distance to pick up the speech more easily.  The Rogin On can be used anywhere that background noise, distance, or the combination of the two is causing problems with communication. Roger microphones can provide:

  • 3x better speech intelligibility in noise versus hearing aids alone
  • Better hearing in a variety of listening situations.

TECHNOLOGY LEVELS

The Signia Pure Charge&Go IX comes in 3 technology levels-premium, advanced and standard. All three technology levels offer Bluetooth wireless connection with Smartphones using the Signia App for phone calls, and user ability to change settings and volume of the hearing aids. All three levels also offer a 3-year manufacturer warranty including office visits.

The differences between the 3 different technology levels are not in the outside design or appearance of the hearing aid, but the computer chip on the inside.  Most hearing aid brands look almost the same on the outside.  And, all major hearing aid brands manufacture sleek, discreet looking device that are lightweight, very comfortable, durable and secure, even when removing eyeglasses.

Generally speaking, the more advanced technologies offer more sophisticated features  for managing background noise and adjusting  the hearing aid to the individual’s hearing loss. The explanation of each feature can be found below:
