How it works

There are a couple things to keep in mind in order for the Roger Focus II to work.

  • The Roger Focus II needs to be connected to a Roger microphone. This microphone is worn by the teacher or a specialist.
  • The Roger microphone sends the sound directly to the Roger Focus ll behind the child’s ear, overcoming background noise and distance.
  • If the noise increases, the microphone will automatically adjust the volume of the voice in regard to the background noise.

How it helps

There are several ways that the Roger Focus II is beneficial for kids with UHL, APD, and ASD.

For children with Unilateral Hearing Loss

Being able to clearly hear instructions over distracting classroom noises can make a positive difference in a child’s education and progression. Classrooms are often noisy, and children cannot always be seated close to the teacher, making it particularly hard for them to listen and learn. When using Roger Focus II, children with UHL have better speech recognition in both quiet and noise compared to no technology.¹

For children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can have a major impact on children’s lives, particularly when it comes to their success in school. Roger technology has been proven to help children with ASD2 to concentrate better on the teacher’s words and to communicate and engage better with their fellow students.

For children with Auditory Processing Disorder

Children with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) find it tough to focus on what’s being said, especially in noisy environments like classrooms. Remote microphone systems, like Roger technology, have been shown to help children with APD3 focus on what’s being said no matter how far they are from the teacher.

 

Improving your child’s wellbeing

Hearing well is an essential part of your child’s social and emotional wellbeing.
