Roger On- worth the price?

If anyone is interested:

I am selling a lightly used Phonak Roger On iN V2 transmitter with 2 software receivers, 2 docking/charging cradles, cables needed to connect to a TV or computer, and a carry case. I purchased the Roger On iN V2 in March of 2024, but have changed from using Phonak hearing aids to Signia hearing aids, and the Roger On iN V2 will not work with my Signia hearing aids.

The Roger On iN V2 works with Phonak Marvel, Paradise, Lumity, and Infinio hearing aids.

If interested, please see my topic: Phonak Roger On iN v2 plus 2 Charge Cradles

External mics, like the Partner Mic or the Roger, can be incredibly helpful in certain situations. I wear ReSound/Jabras and have used their Multi-Mic for years. When doing a group tour (walk around with a leader) I have clipped it on to their shirt, collar area, and it worked wonderfully. When on a nature walk, for example. Also, attending a lecture in a large room, I have laid it inconspicuously on the lectern or up front somewhere, even on the side of the stage(!), but don’t forget it after the event! You’ve got some good offers here for a used device…sounds like you are all set.

have you ever used the Roger on for phone calls like for work using amazon whatever it is calls? I have had time hearing my phone calls with headsets by Jabra now using the Evolve 50 II for Amazon phone. Trying to find out if this will work with my work system so I can hear calls directly to my hearing aids. They have to be able to record the calls is the issue too.

I do not use the Roger for computer audio, because all of the computer devices support Bluetooth, so I can connect my directly to the computer/tablet/smart phone. In case you haven’t seen it, Phonak provides good information on doing what you’re asking about https://www.phonak.com/content/dam/celum/phonak/master-assets/en/documents/accessories/roger/roger-phone-calls/ph-guide-phone-calls-with-roger-210x280-028-1425-02-en.pdf7. I will note that, while I can hear conversations streamed to my HA, some people on the other end tell me my voice isn’t strong. So, I sometimes use a headset with a boom microphone, instead. In that case, the HA picks up the sound from the headset speaker that is over my ear, instead of streaming via Bluetooth. Here’s the headset I use https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-USB-Headset-Stereo-H650e/dp/B00CCIKJDG/ref=asc_df_B00CCIKJKE?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79989681303856&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=t&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=86839&hvtargid=pla-4583589158495680&msclkid=521a2edf7a52176bef2144c2b8666ad2&th=15

Roger On works flawlessly when watching movies on flights as a Bluetooth interface.

So interesting to me as a former litigator. Sadly I was wearing Oticon before retirement so only had the Connectclip. I switched to Phonak into the Paradise and discovered the very powerful Roger On. I’m so glad you have it to power your career. Do you ever ask for real time captioning? If you do you may need to explain that not all court reporters are familiar with the realtime captioning that keeps up with all the talkers.

Hi. I’ve been using the Roger On for years. It did work really well when visiting or in restaurants tho lately not so much. It’s probably my hearing as I only have some hearing on he right side. I have found using the Automatic setting and adjusting it in the app is helpful. However, if you want to be able to watch tv at your comfort and have another do the same it’s great because it plugs into the tv.
