Using a loop system (via Roger pen), to Infinio Sphere?

My mum used her old aids on the t-coil setting at church to receive the loop signal. She is trialling the Infinio Sphere’s which of course don;t have t-coil. I couldn’t find any device to receive a loop signal, and convert it to Bluetooth or a Roger signal. So, I had an idea of using a loop tester that is normally used with a 3.5mm jack and headphones, to connect to a Roger pen with a 3.5mm to micro usb cable, then use the Roger pen signal to transfer the sound to the Phonaks. It’s not very elegant, but I can’t think why it wouldn’t work, but while we wait for , then I wondered if anyone else had found a workaround, or if there was a reason my idea would not work in practice?
Thanks all, Bob

This is the loop tester I was planning on buying to receive the loop signal, then using the 3.5mm jack to transfer the output to the Roger pen.

Seems like that should work if you get some decent headphones to go with it. Not hugely expensive so low risk. I’d go for it if they don’t have an fm system. At my old church we had an fm system. I picked up a receiver from the sound booth and plugged in my Roger on.

Upgrades for church sound system? Auracast? Anything else?
I’d like to share my experience installing an Auracast transmitter in my church, which has a seating capacity of approximately 400 people. We use this transmitter (link). [IMG_6149] The transmitter is positioned in the front right area, behind a concrete pillar where the choir and audio equipment are located. It is mounted on the back of the sound mixer desk.

Maybe an headphones over Sphere with auracast transmitter, until phonak releases a firmware update and activate auracast in Sphere.
