Single Sided Hearing Loss

Product Features

We typically recommend either a CROS or a BiCROS system. A CROS system consists of a single microphone and single receiver contained in two individual devices (one for each ear). The ear with little-to-no functional hearing is fit with the microphone-equipped device, and the ear with normal hearing is fit with the receiver-equipped device. Sound arriving at the ear with hearing loss will then transmit through a wireless connection to the receiver-equipped device on the normal-hearing ear — to help you hear sounds regardless of which side they’re coming from.

A BiCROS system consists of a microphone-equipped device that is fit to the poorer-hearing ear and a conventional hearing aid fit to the better-hearing ear that has some hearing loss.

So professional and made everything so easy to understand about my hearing loss

Great experience with the staff. Both Kristy and Bobby came out to the car during Covid. Lucky me, Bobby repaired the receiver on the left Starkey aid on the spot having a canceled appointment when I had planned to just drop it off. I highly recommend Pattillo. Jeff Florreich
