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:
zCROS 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.
zBiCROS 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 amplies the sounds from both sides.
The CROS transmitter works with our specic wireless
hearing aids. Your Hearing Care Professional will advise
you on the compatible models.
NOTICE
This user guide only applies to the CROS transmitter.
Your hearing aid has a separate user guide.
