It’s for installing the Roger into Phonak Bluetooth Aids. Won’t work for any other brand of Aids or older Phonak Aids.
Yes i thought that i was just curious still trying to sort out about my hearing aids haven’t heard back from the guy in charge yet and I’m now back in a splint on my right hand to stablize my thumb so finding things really hard and can’t really wear my hearing aids
Besides the volume control on the dock there is volume control in MyPhonak app and you can change the ratio of the mix between the stream and the HA mic inputs. I tend to turn it all the way to the Roger and then turn down the overall gain on the main MyPhonak screen.

I will see if it makes any difference, for now he is using a Sennheiser RS 180 wireless headphone over his HA, this seem to do a good job for him.
I recently hooked up my new Phonak’s via Bluetooth to the TV and wow - the sound was so clear directly to my ear. But it cuts off the sound for my wife in the room. When you use the Roger On or Phonak TV connector, do you get a clear sound like with BT but other’s still can hear the TV normally?

I think if you use toslink most TVs will still play audio audibly while putting signal out to your connector. If you use headphone jack connection, then some will and some won’t play audio out the builtin speakers. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it cuts out. I think the sound over connector or Roger On seems better than BT – more solid a connection, and your battery in your BT master HA will last longer
using the connector or a Roger Mic than using BT.

WH thank you for your thoughts. I will keep trying
I have both the older Roger and the TV Connector. The Roger seems to distort the sound a little. The current TV Connector is designed for one room and if I walk down the hall from it, I will lose the sound. The older TV units covered the entire house. I’m not sure why they went backwards.

I have two of the v2 TV Connectors. One on the stereo receiver hooked up to the TV in my media room and another on the stereo receiver hooked up to my office PC. Both work really well for me.

My audiologist gave me a TV connector and it was a life changer. I don’t have a TV, but I could never turn the volume on my computer high enough. With TV Connector I can easily put the volume at just the right setting, and the clarity is fantastic with the sound going right into my Marvel hearing aids.

Assumedly your TV has optical output and that’s how the TV Connector receives the audio. My TV still provides audio to the internal speaker when the optical is active, but yours apparently does not. If that’s what’s happening, get an optical splitter and connect the other port to a sound bar or surround sound speaker system. My wife and I both have Phonak HAs and listen together via the TV Connector. However, I always leave the TV internal speaker up at a low level in case something comes in on my phone (like a text) and the phone’s alert signal overrides the program audio feed from the TV Connector in my HAs. That way I don’t lose the continuity of the program until the HAs recover from the alert.
A bit of a Necro post here, but I have the TV Connector and have just installed Roger X into both NHS Nathos Novas (v3 L, v2 R). The TV Connector is Loud, Clear and in full stereo. The Roger On (via base station and same optical audio cable) is much quiter, less clear, a bit distorted and surprisingly in mono. There is no comparison.

I much prefer my Roger as I have 02 so I can up the EasyGain in the Roger Receivers / Licenses.
The Roger works all around my house where the TV Connector range is really short.
I also have a very bad left ear so I only wear a Roger on my right but the TV Connector couldn’t go to one ear only, which annoyed the hell out of me.

I use my Roger On with a base station audio cable jacked to an ipod very often and get full stereo. Something isn’t right there. I’ve used it with toslink cabling, and it was stereo too, but haven’t done that in about a year. Check your cable connections.

I use both. One TV Connector 2 for the TV, and one linked to my iMac. I have also tried my Roger Select iN with the TV, but have found the TV Connector vastly superior in sound quality.

As you have the Select and 1 x 02, you could increase the EasyGain with the Select for the 02 License to see if that helps you better?
@Zebras Not sure I understand this … I have the 03 receivers in my Marvels for the Select iN and ON. And how do I adjust EasyGain … is that through Target? Thx.
Oh sorry, I thought when you said V2 in one ear and V3 in the other. You had 02 in one ear and 03 in the other?
You can increase the gain within the 02 ones with the Select. Don’t need Target at all for the Roger Licenses and adjusting the 02 EasyGain.
