FM Systems- Solutions for hearing in Background noise

Why do you need an FM?
Today's hearing aid technology does an excellent job of improving speech understanding. However, 31% of hearing aid wearers report they still have challenges hearing in noisy situations.
FM system is technology that is designed to boost the performance of hearing aids and cochlear implants, regardless of background noise or the distance to the person talking, by picking up the voice and transmitting it wirelessly to the listener.
Adaptive to sound
If the noise level increases, the FM adapts accordingly, keeping the voice of the person talking above the background noise.
speech understanding
MultiBeam Technology enables you to experience exceptional speech understanding in group conversations in noise.
multiple talkers
Network allows several microphones to be used together, providing you with access to multiple talkers in any situation.

Managing the needs of children with Unilateral Hearing Loss (UHL) or a functional hearing loss resulting from Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) or autism can be a challenge and there is no clear solution that fits all kids. Roger Focus II is the Phonak solution for children with UHL, APD or autism spectrum disorder whenever it is noisy and their ability to concentrate is impacted.
Roger Focus II is an ear-level receiver that is used in combination with a Roger microphone to send the speaker's voice directly to the wearer to improve the signal-to-noise ration (SNR).
