Difficulty communicating in background noise and/or over distance is one of the most common complaints of individuals with hearing loss¹ ². There are a number of factors that affect speech, including background noise level, distance from the speaker, acoustics of the environment and reverberation.

Placing a wireless microphone like Roger in close proximity to the speaker has several key benefits:

• Improves speech recognition in noise and at a distance3

• Reduces the distance between speaker and listener

• Compensates for the effects of background noise and reverberation
