CROS transmits sound and voices from one side to the other, so your hearing ear can hear for both ears. When CROS P is fit with a Phonak Audéo™ Paradise hearing aid, it helps people with unilateral hearing loss to hear speech clearly and follow conversations from all directions.¹*
Follow conversations in quiet and noisy surroundings without having to reposition yourself
Hear speech from the side with hearing loss better even when in noise
Gain greater awareness of sounds from the side with hearing loss
CROS stands for ‘Contralateral Routing of Signal’. A CROS system consists of two parts:
Designed specifically for unilateral hearing loss
Proven Paradise performance
Universal connectivity to smartphones, TV, Roger™ microphones and more
Hands-free phone calls with own voice pick-up
Easy to use
Your CROS P system can connect to more than 6800 smartphone models² (iOS®, Android™) plus Bluetooth® enabled devices, turning your hearing solution into wireless headphones. By simply tapping your ear, you can even take phone calls, pause and resume streamed music and activate voice assistant apps.
Although hearing loss often affects both ears, it is not uncommon for only one side to be affected. Unilateral hearing loss (or UHL) is when hearing loss is only present in one ear. CROS P is a solution which transmits sound and voices from one side to the other, so your hearing ear can hear for both ears.
CROS P is available in CROS P-13.
