Getting fitted with a great hearing aid is a huge step forward but for many people, certain situations still remain a challenge. Watching TV with the family without cranking up the volume. Following what someone is saying across a busy restaurant table. Catching every word in a meeting room full of side conversations. Hearing a lecturer clearly from the back row of a hall.
These are exactly the situations that Phonak’s wireless accessories are built to solve. Rather than replacing your hearing aid, accessories like the TV Connector and the Roger range work alongside it picking up sound at the source and sending it wirelessly, directly into your ears, cutting through distance and background noise.
In this detailed guide, we’ll cover:
If at any point you’re unsure which accessory matches your specific hearing aid model, the certified audiologists at Insono Hearing can guide you through a free consultation and hands-on demo.
This is one of the most common questions people ask. Modern hearing aids are excellent at amplifying and processing everyday sound but physics still applies. The further you are from a sound source, and the more background noise there is, the harder your hearing aid has to work, and the more listening effort it takes from you.
Wireless accessories solve this by placing a microphone (or audio source) closer to the sound itself, and streaming it wirelessly, directly to your hearing aids skipping the “long journey” the sound would otherwise have to travel through open air. The result is noticeably clearer, less fatiguing listening, especially in situations that hearing aids alone find difficult: distance, noise, and multiple speakers.
The Phonak TV Connector is a small, plug-and-play device that streams your television’s audio wirelessly and directly to compatible Phonak hearing aids without needing to raise the TV volume or wear separate headphones.
You connect the TV Connector to your television (via audio cable or optical output) and plug it into a power source. Once powered on, it automatically detects and pairs with any compatible Phonak hearing aids nearby. From that point on, every time the TV is on, the audio streams straight into your ears in real time.
Anyone who has noticed themselves turning the TV volume up higher than the rest of the family is comfortable with, asking others to repeat dialogue, or missing parts of conversations during movies and shows, will likely benefit from a TV Connector.

Roger is Phonak’s flagship wireless microphone technology, purpose-built for the situations hearing aids alone struggle with the most background noise, distance, and multiple speakers. Instead of simply amplifying everything (including noise), Roger microphones prioritize and isolate the speaker’s voice, then transmit it wirelessly, directly to your hearing aids.
This technology is widely used not just by individuals in daily life, but also in schools, offices, and public venues where clear speech understanding really matters.
Roger On 3 is a versatile, dedicated microphone built for conversations happening in the presence of background noise.
Key Features:
Best For: One-on-one conversations, small meetings, restaurant dining, and situations where you want to hand the microphone directly to whoever is speaking.
Official Price 2026: MRP ₹1,25,000 per unit
Roger Select 3 is an adaptive microphone suitable for practically every listening situation. It can be placed flat on a table for group settings or worn as a lapel/lanyard microphone, and it automatically adjusts to identify and prioritize whoever is currently speaking.
Key Features:
Best For: Group conversations, meetings with multiple participants, family gatherings, and any setting where more than one person is speaking and you want the microphone to keep up automatically.
Official Price 2026: MRP ₹1,05,000 per unit
Not every hearing aid has a Roger receiver built in. If yours doesn’t, you’ll need a separate receiver to connect Roger microphones to your hearing device:
Your audiologist can confirm which receiver (if any) your specific hearing aid model requires.
Beyond the TV Connector and Roger range, Phonak offers a few more accessories worth knowing about:
A lightweight wireless microphone that clips onto clothing and streams the speaker’s voice directly to your hearing aids. It’s a simpler, more affordable alternative to the Roger range, ideal for everyday one-on-one conversations in noisy environments — think car rides, walks outdoors, or a noisy kitchen.
Official Price 2026: MRP ₹22,000 per unit
A small, discreet remote that lets you switch listening programs and adjust volume on your hearing aids without touching the devices themselves — useful for people who find it fiddly to adjust tiny buttons directly on the hearing aid, or who simply prefer discretion in public.
Official Price 2026: MRP ₹12,000 per unit
If you have little to no usable hearing in one ear (a condition often called single-sided deafness), a CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signal) device can make a significant difference. It’s worn on the poorer-hearing ear and picks up sound from that side, then transmits it wirelessly to the hearing aid worn on the better-hearing ear — effectively giving you awareness of sound from both sides again.
This helps with locating where sounds are coming from, following conversations when someone is seated on your weaker side, and reducing the listening fatigue that comes from constantly repositioning yourself to favor your better ear.

Choosing the right accessory really comes down to which specific situations give you the most trouble. Here’s a quick way to think about it:
Q1. Is the Phonak TV Connector compatible with all Phonak hearing aids? Compatibility depends on your specific hearing aid model and its wireless technology. It’s best to confirm with your audiologist before purchasing, as newer wireless models are generally supported.
Q2. What’s the difference between Roger On 3 and Roger Select 3? Roger On 3 is a portable, dedicated microphone best suited to one-on-one and small-group conversations in noise — you can hand it directly to whoever is speaking. Roger Select 3 is an adaptive microphone designed for group and table settings, automatically detecting and switching focus to whoever is currently speaking, without needing to be handed around.
Q3. Do I need a separate receiver to use Roger microphones? If your hearing aid already has a built-in Roger receiver, you don’t need an additional one. If it doesn’t, you’ll need a Roger NeckLoop 03 or Roger X 03 receiver, depending on your device type — your audiologist can confirm which one applies to you.
Q4. What is a CROS device and who needs it? A CROS device is for people with little to no usable hearing in one ear. It picks up sound from the weaker-hearing ear and transmits it wirelessly to a hearing aid worn on the better-hearing ear, helping restore a sense of directionality, awareness of surrounding sound, and reducing listening fatigue.
Q5. Can I use these accessories with hearing aids from other brands? Most Phonak accessories are designed specifically for Phonak (and in some cases, Unitron) wireless hearing aids. Devices from other manufacturers are generally not compatible, though some Roger receivers do support broader compatibility with T-coil or universal connections — check with your audiologist for specifics.
Q6. Are these the official prices, or can they vary by retailer? The prices listed here are official MRPs from the current Phonak price list. Actual selling prices may vary slightly depending on the clinic, city, and any ongoing offers — check with Insono Hearing for the latest confirmed pricing.
Q7. Where can I buy genuine Phonak accessories in India? Always purchase through authorized Phonak dealers or audiology clinics to ensure warranty coverage and genuine products. You can check availability and current pricing at Insono Hearing.
