For individuals using a CROS transmitter
CROS solutions are designed for people with profound hearing
loss in one ear which cannot be aided with a hearing aid. A CROS
transmitter worn on the non-aided ear captures sound from the
applicable side and transmits it to the hearing aid on the ear with
aidable loss when using a hearing aid. This allows the wearer of
the hearing aid to hear sounds from both sides.
CROS transmitter hearing aid
CROS TRANSMITTER
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specific wireless hearing aids.
Your Hearing Care Professional will advise you on the compatible
models.
