Muse CROS and BiCROS Hearing Solutions Approximately 60,000 new cases of single-sided (unilateral hearing loss, UHL) arise each year in the United States. The asymmetry between the two ears in patients with single-sided hearing loss makes listening in nosy environments and localizing sounds a struggle. For patients with single-sided hearing and unequal loss, we now offer CROS and BiCROS hearing solutions in both Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) and mini Behind-The-Ear (BTE) styles. Part of the Muse family line, our wireless CROS and BiCROS hearing aids are powered by 900sync technology to provide better understanding of speech in noise and improved localization of sounds with high-definition audio and ear-to-ear streaming. Who should consider a CROS or BiCROS solution? A CROS system is appropriate for a patient with a single-sided hearing loss where the loss is such that little-to-no benefit can be provided through amplification for the poorer-hearing ear. Patients with normal hearing or a mild high-frequency loss in their better-hearing ear can benefit from a CROS system. A BiCROS system can help patients with unequal bilateral hearing loss In such cases, the poorer-hearing ear has no functional hearing and would not benefit from amplification, while the better-hearing ear (the ear with less hearing loss) requires a traditional hearing aid. In this case, the BiCROS hearing aid will transmit audio from the poorer ear to be mixed with the amplification for the better ear.
