Hearing solutions for the classroom

Clear classroom hearing helps students stay focused and confident. Roger devices make that possible by sending the teacher’s voice directly to the student’s ears.
Classrooms can be noisy and are dynamic spaces where students need to hear teachers, peers, and multimedia to stay engaged. The Roger™ for Education ecosystem provides a reliable, classroom-ready solution that delivers clear speech and supports learning in every type of lesson.
- Encourages active participation in classroom discussions

Education
Creating access to clear sound in a variety of ways for children to learn at school is incredibly important to me as a parent.
How Roger devices enhance language learning in noisy classrooms
Research shows a strong link between language exposure and child development. Being immersed in a language-rich environment, through talking, reading aloud, and music plays a pivotal role in learning1. In busy classrooms with noise, distance, and poor acoustics, Roger™ assistive listening devices can help children hear clear speech in every learning situation, supporting both language development and classroom participation.
- Provide better speech recognition for students2
- Improve opportunities for learning and communication for students³
How does Roger help improve classroom hearing and learning?
The best learning happens when students can hear clearly, and teachers can talk at a comfortable level. The Roger for Education hearing care solutions are designed to address these challenges and create an optimal learning environment for everyone.
Overcome barrier of noise
Roger wireless microphones provide noise reduction, and also uses adaptive behavior. This means that if the noise level increases, the volume of the Roger system automatically increases, so that the speaker's voice is heard above the noise.
Overcome barrier of distance
Powered by advanced wireless audio technology, Roger microphones allow teachers to communicate from anywhere in the classroom, without distance limitations. This consistent amplification helps to reduce vocal strain for teachers4.
Easy connection
Roger Touchscreen Mic includes unlimited receiver licenses built in for direct use with hearing devices using RogerDirect™. This simplifies the setup and removes hardware requirements.
User-friendly and intuitive
Thanks to its fully automatic features, the system requires minimal manual adjustments. It detects how the device is positioned and automatically selects the appropriate microphone mode, ensuring clear sound without requiring teachers to change settings.
Hear multiple talkers
Multiple Roger wireless microphones can work together, giving children access to several speakers, as well as to instructional media. This ensures they hear every voice and every learning source.
Recommended Roger devices for classroom use
Roger™ Touchscreen Mic
When worn around the neck, the Roger Touchscreen Mic transmits the teacher's voice directly to the student’s hearing device as well as to the Roger DigiMaster, helping to hear in noisy situations. When placed on the table, this wireless microphone switches to a small group interaction mode, allowing children to better understand their peers and participate in classrooms.¹

Roger™ SoundField

Roger™ SoundField: Understanding your options
At the heart of the Roger SoundField system is the DigiMaster loudspeaker, a tower with multiple speakers designed to project sound almost equally across the classroom. Its cylindrical sound pattern ensures the teacher’s voice reaches every student. The system also adapts to changing noise levels, keeping the teacher’s voice above the noise.
