Roger Pen Hearing Assistive Device

Hearing Loss Cornwall were delighted to receive funding from the ERDF Smartline Project to launch a new service loaning the excellent digital hearing assistive device called the Roger Pen and Mylink. 

It is available to hire from us, to use at meetings and events where there may be a difficulty for people with hearing aids to capture all the conversation or lecture. It is a very discreet system yet its impact is amazing. 

The Phonak Wireless Listening Device, the Roger Pen & MyLink bundle is ideal for everyday use - coming as it does with a range of functions and uses. It can be used to amplify sound and feed it directly to your hearing aids in a variety of situations. It comes with a Roger Pen which acts as the transmitter. This is a microphone which can pick up directional sound, whilst reducing background noise. This is perfect in a conversation or a meeting, where it can be placed on a table or held by the speaker. The sound is picked up by compatible Phonak digital hearing aids, or by the MyLink Neckloop receiver which is worn around your neck. All you need to do to hear the sounds picked up from the Roger Pen is make sure your hearing aids are set to "loop" or "T-setting".

The Phonak Wireless Listening Device is brilliant all-purpose tool for relaxing, working and socialising.

In a large group, sitting round a table - Stick your Roger Pen on the table and it will automatically switch to an omni-directional mode so you can hear everyone sat with you.

Out and about - Wherever you are, simply point the Roger pen to the person you wish to listen to and you'll hear them loud and clear.

Listening to a presentation - Give the Roger Pen to the lecturer or tour guide so you can hear as clearly as if they were standing next to you. The Roger Pen comes with a lanyard for easy wearing too.

Watching TV - You can plug in the charging station to the TV via the scart, phono and jack plug connections (included). Perfect for enjoying your favourite shows without annoying anyone else with high sound volumes.
