Roger and MED-EL audio processors
SONNET, RONDO and OPUS 2
This guide provides detailed information on how Roger X should be used with latest MED-EL audio 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)
