㽶ƵֱHearing-in-noise㽶Ƶֱ hearing loss can leave individuals feeling hopeless because the average hearing aid alone may not be enough to improve their hearing in social situations and loud environments.
㽶ƵֱTwo of my most recent patients had 㽶Ƶֱhearing-in-noise㽶Ƶֱ hearing loss and had been told by their past care providers that there was nothing they could do to improve their hearing in noisy/social situations,㽶Ƶֱ says Dr. Markus Hilbert, Au.D., Doctor of Audiology from in Kelowna.㽶ƵֱThe problem is, that just wasn㽶Ƶֱt true! Hearing aids are just one of many tools that exist to help improve hearing and speech understanding.㽶Ƶֱ
Roger wireless microphones (not to be confused with the telecommunications giant) are designed with 㽶Ƶֱhearing-in-noise㽶Ƶֱ hearing loss in mind. When paired with hearing aids, Roger microphones allow an individual with hearing loss to zero in on the conversations that matter in a variety of settings, including online calls, restaurants, educational settings and even business environments.
㽶ƵֱRoger tech, and in particular their 㽶ƵֱRoger On㽶Ƶֱ microphone, is an amazing device and one that I wish more people were aware of. This technology can make all the difference for someone experiencing 㽶Ƶֱhearing-in-noise㽶Ƶֱ hearing loss in particular. It㽶Ƶֱs discreet and user-friendly, and it even comes with an easy-to-use app that allows users to further customize their experience,㽶Ƶֱ Dr. Hilbert says.
Roger On can be placed on a table, pointed in the direction of an individual, be turned into a headset for virtual conversations or even be worn around the neck or attached to a lapel. Its unique microphone design recognizes what direction speech is coming from and automatically adapts to different listening situations, switching modes to fit the listening environment, all while automatically reducing noise and enhancing speech.
㽶ƵֱHaving the right hearing team on your side can make a world of difference. Hearing-in-noise hearing loss can be an isolating and frustrating experience that leads individuals to avoid family, friends and social settings. While hearing-in-noise is the most difficult hearing loss to treat, it㽶Ƶֱs not impossible, and with the right technology, individuals can get back to enjoying their day-to-day lives.㽶Ƶֱ
