Definitely a must for me, as I often stream from my phone or iPad.<\/li><li>Phonak Roger Select &#8211; external microphone. I can put it next to any sound source or, say, in the middle of a table or by someone else who&#8217;s speaking so the sound from it will go directly into my implant. The rep sent me a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dhLb5Be_eYA\">video<\/a> about it and it seems way more advanced than the SurfLink I use now.<\/li><li>Roger 17 Receiver &#8211; receiver for the Roger Select (attaches to the external processor).<\/li><li>AAA Battery Pack &#8211; I get 2 rechargeable batteries with the CI; this is just in case I&#8217;m ever in a situation where I have no power to recharge or I somehow use them up.<\/li><li>Phonak TV Connector &#8211; for streaming the TV to my implant. We may have to get a new stereo receiver in order to use this, as the last time we tried a similar device to stream the TV to my T-coil hearing aid, it disabled the stereo speakers (we have the TV sound going through the stereo), rendering it only audible to me &#8212; not helpful when my husband is trying to watch with me.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After doing as much online research as possible, I still had a bunch of questions, so I emailed AB.
