Traveling Over the Summer? Remember Roger
By Nicole Klutz, Au.D., Phonak Audiology Manager
Whether you’re taking a vacation across the country or simply driving to the beach, remember to pack Roger technology along for the ride this summer.
Did you know:
- Roger technology can be used in the car to help make conversations easier — even for those with normal hearing.
- Using Roger technology while on a family road trip may make the experience more enjoyable for both the hearing aid wearer and the rest of the family by including everyone in the conversation.
- Using a remote microphone on Mom or Dad (or driver) in the front seat makes it easier for a child using Roger technology to be a part of the conversation and not struggle in the car.
- Teens and adults using Roger can stream their own music or multimedia directly to their hearing aids while enjoying the scenery on a cross country trip.
- Creating a Roger microphone network can connect everyone in the car – making the summer vacation a more enjoyable experience when everyone can hear what’s going on.
