Phonak CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signal) is a hearing solution designed for people who have little or no usable hearing in one ear and better hearing in the opposite ear.
A microphone on the poorer-hearing side captures sounds and wirelessly sends them to a receiver worn on the better-hearing ear. This can help you hear sounds and conversations coming from your weaker side without needing to turn your head as often.
Wireless sound transmission helps make sounds from the poorer-hearing side more accessible to the better-hearing ear.
Phonak CROS is designed for single-sided hearing loss. The CROS device worn on the poorer-hearing ear picks up sound and transmits it wirelessly to a compatible hearing device worn on the better-hearing ear.
This arrangement can help reduce the difficulty of missing speech or environmental sounds that originate on the poorer-hearing side. It does not restore normal hearing to the poorer ear or provide true binaural hearing, and it may not restore normal sound localization.
A microphone captures sounds from the side with little or no usable hearing and sends them to the better-hearing side.
Compatible devices communicate wirelessly to help deliver sounds from the poorer-hearing side to the better-hearing ear.
A hearing care professional can assess your hearing and help determine whether a CROS or another hearing solution is appropriate.
Single-sided hearing loss can make it difficult to follow conversations when a speaker is on your poorer-hearing side. Phonak CROS is designed to help you access those sounds and participate more comfortably in everyday conversations.

Benefits vary by person and listening environment. CROS systems route sound to the better-hearing ear; they do not make the poorer-hearing ear hear normally.
Whether you're spending time with family, attending a meeting, or talking with friends, sounds may come from either side. Phonak CROS is designed to make sounds from the poorer-hearing side more accessible through the better-hearing ear.
Your experience will depend on background noise, speaker location, the hearing in your better ear, and the device configuration. An audiologist can help you understand what to expect in your daily environments.
