Does your child struggle to hear or communicate in noisy situations despite having normal hearing? Does your child seem like they are not listening, lack focus, or seem tired at the end of the day from listening? A remote microphone system is proven to help.
Helpful Hearing is committed to increasing awareness and access to listening technology and audiological support to help children reach their full potential.
Using a remote microphone system can improve listening, attention, and social interaction in children with listening challenges secondary to autism, auditory processing disorder (APD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
How it Works
Parent, caregiver or coach wears a microphone
Child wears a small, discrete receiver in one or both ears
The speech from the microphone is wirelessly sent to the child’s ear (s) to help them hear better, understand directions, improve focus and reduce listening fatigue.
This is proven to be helpful:
- In noisy environments like restaurants, family dinner time at home, the car, and parties.
- When communicating at a distance like the playground, grocery store, bike rides and activities like soccer, horseback riding lessons, and hockey.

This is why we do what we do...
Helpful communication aids in independence and focus. My son has been receiving therapies for much of his life after a diagnosis of autism. He has also been easily and extremely distracted by his environment making simple language based requests hard to follow through with. When he was wearing the Roger Focus we noticed increased focus on instruction and accuracy on follow through. This allowed his therapist to provide clear instruction further away to allow more independent thought and actions which was a goal he was trying to achieve for a long while. It was also amazing that the ear piece was so small and lightweight that no sensory concerns were present while my son was wearing the earpiece. A simply delightful engaging experience!

Background noise is the worst for me. My audiologist said my hearing was “normal for my age.” I volunteer at an adaptive horseback riding facility and it is very hard to hear the instructors giving us directions. I wear the Roger Focus and the instructor wears the Roger Touchscreen and what a HUGE difference it has made! So nice to not have “what?” or “I’m sorry?” as the major part of my vocabulary!
