Fitting Guide
Roger and Advanced Bionics sound processors
Naída CI, Auria and Harmony
This guide provides detailed information on how Roger receivers should be used with Advanced Bionics sound processors to
achieve the best possible performance.
A 2013 study by Dr. Jace Wolfe of Hearts for Hearing Foundation, Oklahoma City, revealed that the use of Roger systems in
combination with cochlear implants resulted in significant improvements in speech recognition at high noise levels (70 to 80
dB (A)) over fixed gain FM and Dynamic FM technologies (see www.phonakpro.com)
