The streaming, the music is amazing.


"Oh, it's amazing. I used to have to put the phone up to my t-mic and hear. And now...I don't even have to be around my phone, I can just answer with my watch and start talking because the input is now right here and it's super easy. The streaming, the music is amazing.

Cutting out the noise and distance with Roger

Sometimes, we all need a little extra help. When the noise in the room gets too loud, or when the speaker is far away, you can use Roger remote wireless microphones to help. With Marvel CI's unique integrated RogerDirect, Roger microphones can bring the speaker’s voice directly to your or your child’s ears.

The Roger system is clinically proven to help people hear and understand speech better in challenging listening situations such as in noisy restaurants or in the classroom.1 Simply have the speaker use a Roger microphone, and their voice would be streamed wirelessly and directly into the Marvel CI sound processor.

Marvel CI is the only CI sound processor made to work directly with Roger, so you won’t need another gadget or attachment for you to enjoy Roger technology and other Phonak accessories.
