Roger Select (not Select IN): Does this work with Lumity?

I have Lumity devices and I have a Roger On iN. That works perfectly fine.

I picked up a Roger Select from eBay. The device constantly cycles my Lumity aids between the RogerDirect and auto programs as rapidly as the software allows, and I get no audio from the Select. I thought there was a defect so I returned it, bought another one from a different seller, and it behaves the same way.

Suggestions? I wanted the Select for its bluetooth phone connectivity to save Lumity battery life, as I make a significant number of phone calls during the day.

If you have installed the licenses from a Roger On iN, then the select should work fine as a mic, but I have no experience using any of the Rogers for phone calls.

There’s been lots of discussions on here that you can’t turn the Bluetooth on, on the older Roger devices as it messes up Phonak Bluetooth .

Turn Bluetooth off on the Roger, and the HAs work fine.

Roger On doesn’t have the same Bluetooth to connect to App and that is why it doesn’t mess with the HAs.

Reason why Bluetooth is in none of the Roger iN devices.

Talks about the Marvel but it’s the same for Paradise and Lumity.

RogerPM works for Phonak.

Unfortunately the Bluetooth implementation in the Roger devices does not play nice with the Bluetooth in the Marvels. When using Marvel it’s recommended to use the Bluetooth feature in Marvel and disable it in the Roger mic. The iN microphones does not have Bluetooth at all. I’ve heard rumors of some users having success with placing the mobile phone much closer to the hearing aid than the Roger mic (it could possibly be the other way around), so they do not interfere as much. I have not verif…

Putting the in Flight Mode also kills the RogerDirect feature.

Yup, can confirm. I tried unpairing all and repair in different order (various combinations), same thing. If I put HA in flight mode, as it said it kills the BT (both normal and LE), however it also kills roger connection. That part I couldn’t find (what happens with roger direct in flight mode), but my tests show it behaves like that. All connections are dead. Or in other words, same chip handles BT and roger connection (or at least, same power supply), that explains why they could put both…

Sounds like the Bluetooth has been left on, on the Select as unless you turn it off, it’s always on unless you turn the whole device off.

Try making sure Bluetooth is off first.

Thank you, everyone. Works fine bluetooth disabled. But that defeats the intent of purchasing it.

I haven’t created a network between Select and my On iN. So at the moment I have to repair the device I want to use with my hearing aids, which breaks the pairing of the one I don’t want to use. Mildly annoying but livable.

Yea the Bluetooth on the and the Roger Direct feature seem to mess with things when the Bluetooth is on, on the older Roger device.

Many threads on this forum saying it doesn’t work.

As I said earlier, it’s why the Roger Pen iN and Roger Select iN don’t contain Bluetooth as it doesn’t work with Phonak Bluetooth HAs.

Unfortunately there is no way for you to use the Select for phone calls with Bluetooth with your hearing aids. Only way is by using the audio cable to your phone from the Select.
