Phonak has introduced Roger, a new digital standard designed to bridge the understanding gap in noise and over distance by wirelessly transmitting the speaker’s voice directly to the listener. Available for the education market beginning summer 2013, Roger is designed to surpass today’s FM and equivalent digital systems. Simple to use, it works with virtually every behind-the-ear hearing instrument. There are no frequencies for dispensing professionals to program and manage, and teachers can quickly connect compatible devices with a single click. (800) 777-7333; www.phonakpro.com/roger |

Able Planet’s Personal Sound™ amplifier (PS1600BTE) is the first behind the ear amplification device with LINX® DSP, an Environment Management™ technology. PS1600BTE has a volume control, multichannel processing, 12 bands, noise reduction, adaptive feedback manager, and four preset programs that alter the frequency response and amplification to accommodate for varying listening environments. The small size and behind the ear design make it highly invisible, and it is held secure by an over the ear sound tube that ensures a comfortable fit for extended wear.
