How Phonak’s MultiTalker Network Makes Group Meetings Easier for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Employees

Amalee -

An inclusive workplace is one where everyone can contribute fully, regardless of hearing ability. For deaf and hard of hearing employees, group meetings can be challenging - especially when multiple people are speaking at once, conversations are moving quickly, and there's the added distraction of background noise.

Supporting inclusion doesn't have to cost your business the earth. With Access to Work funding, employers can secure financial support for assistive technology, ensuring that staff with hearing loss have the tools they need to thrive.

The Power of the MultiTalker Network

Phonak has developed the MultiTalker Network, a feature that allows up to ten Roger microphones to connect together within one system. This means employees can clearly hear several speakers, presenters, and even media devices - with sound delivered directly to their hearing aids or cochlear implants.

How it works:

  • Multiple microphones, one network: Connect several Phonak Roger devices seamlessly.
  • Access every voice: Capture speech from across the room, even when multiple people are talking.
  • Direct audio streaming: Receive both speech and multimedia audio directly to hearing aids for the clearest listening experience.

This network transforms group meetings, making it possible for deaf and hard of hearing employees to participate with confidence, and without barriers.

  • Perfect for mid-sized to large meeting rooms.
  • Automatically detects who is speaking and focuses on their voice.
  • Adapts to background noise and transitions smoothly between participants.

By using Roger Table Mics in a MultiTalker Network, workplaces can ensure that deaf and hard of hearing employees don’t miss a word in any meeting, helping them participate confidently and equally.

The Roger Table Mic can be used in a MultiTalker Network along with up to 10 of any of the following:

Making Meetings Accessible for All

By combining the MultiTalker Network with the right Roger solutions, workplaces can make group meetings more inclusive, productive, and enjoyable for everyone. And with Access to Work funding available, there’s no reason not to invest in technology that helps employees reach their full potential.
