CROS vs. BiCROS: Which is for
you?
CROS and BiCROS hearing aids
are very similar in functionality, with one slight difference.
CROS (Contralateral
Routing Of Signals): If you
have no hearing in one ear, and normal hearing in the other, a CROS might be
right for you. With a CROS system, you’ll wear a microphone on your deaf ear,
which will capture sounds from that side and transmit them to a hearing aid
worn on your normal ear. That hearing aid will then output those sounds
(without amplification), into your normal hearing ear. In this way, you’re able
to hear sounds from your “bad side,” in your good ear.
BiCROS (Bilateral Contralateral Routing Of Signals): If
you have no hearing in one ear, and a hearing loss in the other, a BiCROS might
be right for you. A BiCROS system works exactly like a CROS system, with one
small difference. With a BiCROS system, the hearing aid worn on your better ear
will have the microphones turned on, so it will amplify sounds for your better
ear. So with a BiCROS, you are able to hear sounds not only from your bad side,
but also amplified sounds from your better ear’s side.
