Remote microphones for schools

Bring the speaker’s voice closer to the student.

A remote microphone system creates a direct wireless path from the person speaking to compatible personal hearing technology or a receiver, helping reduce the effect of distance and surrounding noise.

Phonak Roger classroom remote microphone system

A direct signal path

Designed around the student’s listening day.

The teacher’s microphone is only one part of the pathway. The student’s hearing aids, cochlear implants or receivers, group-work needs, multimedia and existing school equipment all need to work together.

  • Confirmed compatibility

    Identify the personal hearing technology, receiver type and any existing Roger capability before equipment is selected.

  • More than teacher talk

    Plan for classmates, group work, visiting speakers, assemblies and multimedia where these are part of the student’s day.

  • Training and support

    Give staff straightforward guidance on wearing, charging, connecting and checking the system.

The complete pathway

Every connection has to make sense.

A reliable system is specified from speaker to listener, including the situations in between—not by choosing a microphone in isolation.

Microphone

Select a teacher, table or additional microphone arrangement suited to how speech moves through the day.

Receiver

Confirm direct Roger capability or the correct external receiver for the student’s specific hearing technology.

Connections

Test charging, network pairing and relevant computers, displays or other audio sources before handover.

A practical school process

From compatibility check to confident use.

Work with the hearing professional

The student’s audiologist or hearing-care team should inform decisions involving personal hearing technology and listening needs. Classroom Audio Technology supplies and supports equipment; it does not replace clinical care.

  1. Identify existing technology

    Record hearing device models, receivers, current microphones and charging equipment.

  2. Understand the school day

    Map teacher instruction, group work, room changes, multimedia and activities outside the classroom.

  3. Configure and test

    Connect the required components and verify operation in the relevant listening situations.

  4. Train and support

    Leave staff with clear daily checks and a direct route for troubleshooting or service.

Common questions

Before choosing a remote microphone

Does Roger work with every hearing aid?

Roger supports many hearing aids and cochlear implants, but the required built-in capability or receiver must be confirmed for the exact devices involved.

How can a student hear classmates?

Group listening may use an additional microphone or a microphone designed to capture changing speakers. The right approach depends on the student, classroom practice and existing equipment.

Can the same teacher microphone work with SoundField?

Compatible Roger systems can support a personal receiver and classroom SoundField as part of one planned network. The exact components should be confirmed before supply.

A clear next step

Start with the student’s current hearing technology.

Send the device models, any existing receivers and a short description of the difficult listening situations. We’ll help identify the next useful check.
