Expectations for speech in noise?

May I ask which app you find helpful for that? Thanks

FWIW my Signia RICs are really quite good at blocking or screening in noisy places. I think it’s because they force
a directional focus in front of me on that program. Even the
default regular program is not bad for it.

This is after Widex RICs which were almost useless in noise.

Look, I’m not an audiologist, but I have a steeply-sloping audiogram similar to yours, and IMO, molds are needed to permit the devices to deliver optimal comprehension/performance.

(You may be “penny wise and pound foolish” not to ante up and test the HAs fairly by using molds.)

I have suggested earmolds. I will discuss that again tomorrow at my appointment but it is getting toward the end of the 45 day trial so I might have to start over. My first post on this forum a few weeks ago was asking about earmolds vs domes. I agree with you.

If what you’re asking is what program do I use to full background noise, it’s a program called Noise in my Philips 9030. The difficulty with it that I experience is it dulls all sound so I have to listen intently to whoever is speaking but at least it helps me be able to. Seems to reduce the sound space competition and that helps.

Wise choice. I have both. The Pen is good, the On is much better, more informative (a decent display) and adjustable via the RogerMic app. It has the features of the Select (directional), and it works!

Would I have to use the Master device in Presenter mode to use both?

@PeterH

I’m not 100% but you could definitely link them together.

I went to a Craft evening with a friend.

She has the Roger Select and I had my Pen with me. Altho we linked them together, one kept muting no matter what.

We had the Select on the table and the person speaking had my Pen but it just didn’t work.

I’ll have to figure out what we did wrong.

I thought 1 x Select could be used in Table Mode with another on lanyard mode?

I’m sure other people have done that but I have no idea what I did wrong for it to not work.

I know you can’t have both in Table Mode.

The Select and Pen together worked both in lanyard mode tho.

I’ll figure it out and post back.

I know if a On is in Table Mode, the other won’t work at all from my understanding, from reading another persons post on here.

Maybe @kevels55 has an idea?

Not entirely true, so long as you have the correct vent sizing, it’s a balance between low frequencies and too much feedback.

@Sequoia_Woman: Regardless of one’s low frequency response, if there’s too much of a drop off into the high frequencies, you can’t get maximal high frequency gain without a lot of feedback.

Molds allow much higher gain assistance to those damaged high frequencies - without feedback - than any kind of dome. I switched to molds about 12 years ago, and the improvement in my hearing was , well - stunning. Hope this input helps you.

No sorry Ruth, I haven’t done a lot of playing around or experimenting with Roger, last weekend was a sort of first for me, testing out Roger On in table mode, in noisy pubs, and restaurants… Sorry I can’t be more helpful… Now that I have retired, I can’t really envisage me requiring more than one remote mic, if I did, I would probably opt for the Roger Touchscreen, and I also have 3 working Roger Inspiro’s? Cheers Kev

No, once the Select is networked it can only be used in lanyard mode.

Completely rubbish. I bet it’s so people buy the actual Table Mic II.

Just to confirm, so the Pen and Select can only be both in lanyard when linked together?

Yes. The table mic is the only one that can still do table duty while networked, that’s right. All others will mute if you set them down.

It’s just Phonak making money I guess as the Table Mic II is

Thank you for answering why it wouldn’t work for me tho.

Can I just confirm that all of the Roger Mics will only work in Lanyard Mode if linked together if it isn’t the Table Mic II?

If you put the Lumity in Restaurant mode it does an amazing job of cutting down the background noise. But then the mic won’t work. So if you can manage with just your hearing aids without a mic that might help. I need both, and it’s frustrating to have to choose between them.
