The new device applies a deep neural network to separate speech from background noise across all microphone modes, delivering what Phonak says is an additional 3 dB SNR benefit over its predecessor. Phonak has announced Roger On Sphere, a remote microphone that uses a deep neural network (DNN) to separate speech from background noise in real time. The device is designed to help people with hearing loss follow conversations in demanding listening environments — including busy restaurants, meetings, family gatherings, and social events — where hearing aids alone may not provide sufficient support. AI-Driven Speech Separation at the Microphone Level Roger On Sphere combines Phonak Sphere technology with the Roger wireless protocol. According to Phonak, the device continuously analyzes the acoustic environment and applies its RogerSense OS processing engine to separate speech from noise across every microphone mode and at every noise level — without requiring manual adjustment from the user.

Photo: Phonak Compared with its predecessor, Roger On Sphere delivers an additional 3 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) benefit, which the company says is equivalent to roughly 50% less noise power — allowing users to communicate in environments with twice the noise level.¹ "Roger has changed communication in demanding listening environments for nearly two decades," says Alain Kertész, senior director Roger, in a release. "Roger On Sphere brings AI-driven speech separation to a remote microphone, giving users greater clarity and confidence in situations that were previously difficult to manage." https://hearingreview.com/hearing-products/hearing-aids/phonak-launches-eon-hearing-aids-with-new-hypersonic-chip-and-auracast Automatic Mode Adaptation Across Listening Situations The device automatically adapts its microphone mode to a range of listening situations, including meetings, lectures, online calls, restaurants, family gatherings, and car journeys, so users do not need to manually adjust settings. Key features include: AI-powered real-time speech-from-noise separation through RogerSense OS Automatic adaptation across multiple listening situations Reliable, low-latency Roger wireless transmission An updated myRogerMic app experience and enhanced hardware design https://hearingreview.com/hearing-products/amplification/assistive-devices/auditory-processing-and-psychosocial-improvements-with-remote-microphone-technology-an-evidence-review Broad Compatibility Across Hearing Devices Roger On Sphere is compatible with hearing aids, cochlear implants, and other hearing solutions, including Phonak Naída and Virto hearing aids and Advanced Bionics cochlear implant systems. The broad compatibility is notable for hearing care professionals fitting patients across a range of device types within the Sonova portfolio. Phonak is encouraging hearing care professionals to demonstrate the device in the clinic so clients can experience the benefits firsthand. Roger On Sphere is expected to be available in most markets as of mid-November 2026. For more information, visit the Roger On Sphere webpage.
