Understanding Cros and Bicros Hearing Aids:

Both the Bicros and Cros hearing aid systems are designed to address a particular type of hearing loss known as unilateral hearing loss, or single-sided deafness. This condition occurs when one ear has little to no hearing ability, while the other ear has normal or near-normal hearing.

The Cros Hearing Aid System:

Individuals with single-sided deafness are typically those who use a CROS hearing aid system. In this system, a microphone is placed in the non-hearing ear, which picks up sounds from that side. The hearing ear uses a traditional hearing aid that receives sounds picked up from the CROS. The receiver amplifies the sound, making it audible to the individual.

Bicros Hearing Aid System:

The Bicros system is suitable for individuals with single-sided deafness and some hearing loss in the better ear. The non-hearing ear is equipped with a microphone to capture sounds, similar to the CROS system. However, in the Bicros system, the microphone also transmits the sounds to a hearing aid in the better ear.

This hearing aid amplifies the sound from the non-hearing ear as well as enhances the sound from the better ear. Therefore providing a more balanced hearing experience.
