Which statement about MultiMic+, EduMic, and Roger Mic is true?

• A. All three are the same and interchangeable
• B. Edumic is Oticon proprietary and can only connect to Oticon hearing aids and Cochlear CIs
• C. Roger Mic is Phonak proprietary and connect to ANY HAs or CIs through adapters
• D. Multimic is Resound proprietary and can only connect to Resound hearing aids on Cochlear CIs

Answer: (C)

Wireless microphone systems often come with brand-specific designs, but many offer cross-brand use through adapters. The Roger Mic uses Phonak’s Roger wireless technology and, with the right receivers or adapters, its signal can be fed into a wide range of hearing aids or cochlear implant processors from different brands. That ability to pair with non-Phonak devices through appropriate adapters is why this statement is true: you can use a Roger mic with many HAs or CIs, not just Phonak gear. EduMic, by Oticon, is built to work best with Oticon hearing aids and is positioned as Oticon’s classroom mic solution. While there may be limited ways to interface with some non-Oticon devices, it does not have the same broad cross-brand interoperability that the Roger system offers. Multimic is associated with ReSound, and its primary design is for ReSound devices. It is not accurate to describe it as universally limited to only Resound hearing aids on Cochlear CIs, but its strongest compatibility and support are within the Resound ecosystem, and cross-brand use is not guaranteed in the same way as with the Roger system.
