Your CROS transmitter
CROS solutions are designed for people with profound
hearing loss in one ear which can not be aided with
a hearing aid. A CROS transmitter worn on this ear
captures sound from this side and transmits it to the
hearing aid on the other ear. This allows the wearer of
the hearing aid to hear sounds from both sides.

Two solutions are available:
■CROS solution:
For people with normal hearing in one ear and
profound hearing loss in the other. Sounds from the
side with hearing loss are captured and transmitted
wirelessly to the good-hearing side.
■BiCROS solution:
For people with profound hearing loss in one ear
and less severe hearing loss in the other. Sounds
from the more severe hearing loss side are captured
and transmitted wirelessly to the better-hearing
side. The hearing aid processes and amplifies the
sounds from both sides.
The CROS transmitter works with our specific wireless
hearing aids. Your Hearing Care Professional will
advise you on the compatible models.
NOTICE
This user manual only applies to the CROS
transmitter. Your hearing aid has a separate user
manual.

■It may be helpful to insert the right device with
the right hand and the left device with the left
hand.
■If you have problems inserting the ear piece,
use the other hand to gently pull your earlobe
downwards. This opens the ear canal and
eases insertion of the ear piece.
