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.
