WARRENVILLE, Ill., April 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Per Better Hearing Institute, every 10% increase in hearing loss results in a loss of $1,000 in income per month for any one employee.¹

The Roger wireless technology is designed to better integrate hearing-impaired employees at work.

How well do you hear at work? In meetings with background noise or when the sound source is at a distance, your hearing aid might not be enough. When you need additional solutions, Roger Table Mic, a wireless microphone designed for meetings, is ideal. Simply place it on the table and understand clearly what is being said.

Powerful hearing aids have limitations in typical work situations such as large meetings or video conferences. Roger Table Mic is a discreet microphone specially developed for meetings resulting in the industry's best speech-in-noise performance.

Roger extracts speech from background noise to help a user hear and understand speech 62% more than someone with no hearing loss.²

"We want to help office employees put the emphasis back on doing their job rather than on their hearing loss. The Roger Table Mic allows people affected by it to fully participate in and contribute to work life, a crucial element for inclusion into society," said Martin Grieder, Group VP, Phonak.
