2. Getting to know your Roger Select
Roger Select is a microphone that picks up the voice of a speaker and sends it wirelessly directly into your ears. You can place Roger Select in the middle of a table e.g. in a restaurant, or it can be worn by a single person i.e. to hear a distant talker.
Your Roger Select typically works within a range of
up to 10 meters / 33 feet to your hearing aids. Note that human bodies and walls may reduce this distance. The furthest range is possible when you can see your Roger Select (i.e. line of sight).
