Solutions for single-sided deafness

Phonak CROS is the smart solution for clients with single-sided deafness (SSD) or an unaidable hearing loss in one ear.

Unique hearing needs of clients with SSD

Left untreated, single-sided deafness can lead to increased stress and anxiety for clients, and a decrease in social interaction, due to difficulty in following conversations and navigating their surroundings.

They require a solution which:

Enables them to have a conversation in quiet and noisy surroundings without having to reposition themselves
Allows them to respond when talked to
on the side they can’t hear from
Requires no surgical procedures
Is discreet

When you can follow conversations from whichever direction they come, life is on

Fitted with a Belong™ hearing aid, the wireless CROS B transmitter enables clients with single-sided deafness (SSD) to hear speech clearly and follow conversations from whichever direction they come. Using our unique Binaural VoiceStream Technology™, CROS B wirelessly transfers sound from the non-hearing ear to the hearing aid on the better hearing side. The ability to create a very narrow beamforming pattern allows clients to enjoy excellent speech understanding in noise. Plus, CROS B is easy to fit and demo.

Now, clients get to enjoy all the proven Phonak CROS performance in a rechargeable product.
