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.
CROS transmitter hearing aid

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.

Maintenance and care
To prevent damage it is important that you take care of your
device and follow a few basic rules, which will soon become
a part of your daily routine.
Transmitter
Drying and orage
XDry your device overnight.
XFor longer periods of non-use, ore your device in a dry
environment with an open battery compartment and the
batteries removed.
XAsk your Hearing Care Professional for more information.
Cleaning
Your device has a protective coating. However, if not
cleaned regularly you may damage the device or cause
personal injury.
XClean your device daily with a soft, dry tissue.
19
XNever use running water or immerse the
device in water.
XNever apply pressure while cleaning.
XAsk your Hearing Care Professional for recommended
cleaning products, special care sets, or more information
on how to keep your device in good condition.
Ear pieces
Cleaning
Cerumen (ear wax) may accumulate on the ear pieces. This
may aect sound quality. Clean the ear pieces daily.
XClean the ear piece right
after removal with a soft and
dry tissue.
This prevents that
cerumen becomes
dry and hard.
20
XSqueeze the tip of the ear piece.
Exchanging
Exchange andard ear pieces approximately every three
months. Replace them sooner if you notice cracks or
other changes. The procedure for exchanging andard
ear pieces depends on the type of ear piece. In section
"Components and names", your Hearing Care Professional
has marked your type of ear piece.
