Signia CROS IX

Introducing the Signia CROS IX: Reconnect with the World of Sound Around You

Imagine only being able to hear half of the conversations, half of the laughter, and half of the ambient sounds that make life vibrant. For the millions of people living with single-sided deafness (SSD) or profound hearing loss in one ear, this is a daily reality. The frustration of not knowing where sounds are coming from or constantly missing dialogue when someone speaks on your “bad” side can be isolating. The Signia CROS IX is a revolutionary solution designed not to treat the deaf ear, but to conquer it, by wirelessly transmitting sound from your non-hearing side to your better-hearing ear .

This isn’t just another hearing aid; it’s a sophisticated wireless system that ensures you hear life from all directions, clearly and effortlessly.

What is CROS? A New Way to Hear in Stereo

Before diving into the technology, it’s helpful to understand how a CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signal) system works. If you have unaidable hearing loss in one ear, a traditional hearing aid won’t help. The Signia CROS IX system consists of two discreet devices:

1. The Transmitter: Worn on your non-hearing ear, this device houses tiny microphones that capture all the sound from that side.

2. The Receiver: Worn on your better-hearing ear (which may be a compatible Signia hearing aid if you have some loss there too), this device receives the wireless signal from the transmitter and plays the sounds into your good ear .

The result? You can finally hear the person sitting on your “bad” side, enjoy a dinner out without straining, and regain the natural spatial awareness that comes with hearing from both sides.

The Power of the Integrated Xperience (IX) Platform

The “IX” in Signia CROS IX stands for Integrated Xperience, Signia’s most advanced hearing platform. It’s engineered for the most challenging listening situations: real-life, dynamic conversations. Unlike previous technologies that could only focus on one sound source at a time, the IX platform introduces RealTime Conversation Enhancement .

For CROS users, this is a game-changer. Here is how the IX platform elevates the CROS experience:

• Real-Time Sound Tracking: Life doesn’t stand still, and neither do the people you talk to. The IX platform analyzes the acoustic scene over 192,000 times per second, creating multiple directionally focused beams . It can identify, enhance, and track the location of multiple speakers in real-time, even as they move around you. This means you can follow a group conversation fluidly, no matter where the voices come from .

• Boosted Dynamic Range: The upgraded CROS technology on the IX platform features a boosted dynamic range . This ensures that the sound transmitted from your non-hearing side is incredibly transparent and clear, from the softest whisper to the bustling noise of a city street.

• Own Voice Processing 2.0: For those using a hearing aid on the better ear (a BiCROS setup), this feature ensures your own voice sounds natural and clear, without the hollow or echoing effect that can sometimes occur .
