About
This study will evaluate the clinical benefit of a transmitter for contralateral routing of signals. The benefit will be evaluated in noisy environments regarding speech intelligibility when the CROS system is adjusted to different microphone settings. Additionally, data regarding overall system stability, crash reboot rate, sound quality and connectivity will be obtained over a period of time to validate the CROS system in combination with smartphone and accessories. This study is a confirmatory study.
Full description
Unilateral Hearing Loss (UHL) can be defined as any degree of permanent hearing loss on one ear with normal hearing in the opposite ear. Unilateral hearing loss can be debilitating associated with audiological, psychosocial and educational challenges. Audiological challenges include the reduced ability to localize sounds, reduced awareness on the unaidable side and difficulties hearing in noise or at a distance.
One solution for unaidable UHL is Contralateral Routing of Signals (CROS) and Bilateral Contralateral routing of signals (BiCROS) using a so- called CROS transmitter together with a hearing aid.
The rationale for this clinical investigation is to collect clinical data with a rechargeable CROS transmitter to evaluate the benefits of a BiCROS fitting compared to the alternative treatment option, the monaural hearing aid fitting, and to no treatment in noisy listening situations.
