Roger Select iN and Roger ON iN

[Mike59]

Would that be any good in a group of people standing around in a ‘party’ situation? Moving from group to group?

I’ve tried both the Select and On and in my opinion, it’s only the pointing mode on the On and the App which makes them any difference. The lanyard mode and table mode, I feel sound exactly the same.

Just a side note tho, I’ve got the Phonak Partner Mic and that works well when you point it at a person.

Yes @Mike59 I’ve tried it. It’s also smaller so harder to see.

If you’re sat down, I would use the Select but if you’re stood up, I think the Partner Mic works well when pointing.

[Mike59]

Thank you @Zebras I might give that a go, then.

@Mike59

If you do buy second hand, have a look on eBay. They are super cheap.

[Mike59]

Sorry, one last question … does the Partner Mic connect directly to the aids (my Marvels)? Like the Select?

[Zebras]

@Mike59

It works without any thing else, it connects directly to hearing aids. It works with the same technology as the TV Connector.

I’ve got myself a (new) Partner Mic to try (Thanks, @Zebras). There were no secondhand ones on Ebay. I’ve set it up with same fine tuning and programme options as my Select iN in Target, as I like that sound and it will be good to compare. Not had a chance to try it out properly yet, but will report back. PS. It was £265 as I could avoid the VAT.

This seller sends it to a place in the UK and then gets a new label Royal Mail 48 to send to your address. Never had to pay for taxes etc.

He’s a really good seller for other things.

Hope you like the Partner Mic.

[Mike59]

Thanks, @Zebras . Initial tests are encouraging! Can I ask … what sort of battery life do you get in continuous use? Thanks. Mike.

@Mike59

I got 6 1/2 hours of using it all day the first time I used it after being fully charged properly.

Haven’t used it all day since tho.

HI Zebras, I’ve been doing alot of scrolling and want to confirm what I think my position is: My work bought me a Roger ON to help me in my classroom. I have Paradise Pro 90 audeo. It seems I am going to have to pay an audiologist to connect the Roger On to my hearing aid because they did not order me a ROger On IN. Is that correct? Would it be worth asking my employee to reorder or deal with what I have. thanks in advance

The only way it’ll work is the get a Roger On iN or 2 x Roger X receivers which cost around $350 to $600 each and use a Roger Installer.

This is a Roger Installer.
