The hearing-instrument technology known as Contralateral Routing of Signal (CROS) is designed for individuals with unilateral (one-sided) hearing. This feature utilizes a microphone in an instrument worn in the user’s non-hearing ear to pick up sound, which is transmitted to a hearing instrument in the user’s better ear (that receives no amplification). Best suited to those with no hearing ability in one ear and normal hearing ability in the other, this technology enables these users to better detect sounds coming from their deaf side. As a result, CROS users may get added clues about sound location. BiCROS technology is for users with little or no hearing on one side and some hearing loss in their better ear.
