Beyond Traditional Hearing Aids: CROS

What is a CROS aid?

Contralateral Routing of Signal or more commonly CROS aids are designed for single sided deafness. If there is a profound hearing loss in one ear that cannot be helped by a traditional hearing aid a CROS aid can be considered. A CROS aid can be used in 2 ways:

  1. CROS: One ear is normal and there is no usable hearing in the other ear
  2. BiCROS: One ear has hearing loss and there is no usable hearing in the other ear.
