Single-sided deafness (SSD) sufferers may find hearing loss particularly difficult. It might be challenging to process common sounds, conversations, and spatial awareness if you have normal hearing in one ear but hearing loss in the other. Thankfully, Signia CROS X hearing aids provide a cutting-edge solution developed to enhance speech comprehension, hearing clarity, and general listening comfort.
With its innovative features that prioritize comfort, clarity, and convenience, Signia CROS X is made to help you hear better, longer. These hearing aids easily adjust to your needs, whether you're listening to music, holding a crucial discussion, or being in a noisy setting.
Key Features of Signia CROS X Hearing Aids
Signia CROS X hearing aids are packed with advanced technology designed to improve the hearing experience for individuals with single-sided deafness. Here’s a deeper dive into their key features and how each one benefits users:
1. Real-Time Sound Processing with Own Voice Processing (OVP™)
Many hearing aid users complain that their own voice sounds unnatural or too loud when wearing a device. Signia CROS X solves this issue with Own Voice Processing (OVP™) technology, which:
- Recognizes and processes your voice separately from other environmental sounds
- Maintains a natural, clear tone, making speech sound more like it does without hearing aids
- Reduces discomfort and echo, making conversations more effortless
This feature is especially beneficial for first-time users who struggle to adjust to their new hearing aids. With OVP™, speaking feels more natural, which encourages users to engage in conversations more confidently.
2. Crystal-Clear Speech Understanding in Noisy Environments
One of the biggest challenges for people with single-sided hearing loss is understanding speech in crowded or noisy places. Whether at a party, restaurant, or office meeting, background noise can make it difficult to focus on conversations.
Signia CROS X improves speech clarity with Ultra HD e2e (ear-to-ear) processing, which:
- Automatically detects and enhances speech from the direction you’re facing
- Reduces background noise, making conversations clearer
- Provides a more immersive and natural listening experience, so you don’t feel like you’re missing out
With this feature, you can follow conversations easily even in challenging environments, without constantly asking people to repeat themselves.
3. Wireless and Rechargeable Technology for All-Day Use
Older CROS hearing aids often rely on disposable batteries, which can be inconvenient and costly. Signia CROS X offers rechargeable models with lithium-ion battery technology, allowing for:
- A full day of hearing on a single charge (typically up to 24 hours)
- Fast charging in just a few hours, so you’re always ready to go
- A more eco-friendly solution, reducing waste from disposable batteries
This feature eliminates the need to carry spare batteries, ensuring hassle-free, uninterrupted hearing throughout the day.
4. Bluetooth Connectivity for Seamless Streaming
Modern hearing aids are more than just sound amplifiers—they act as smart listening devices that can connect to your digital world. Signia CROS X is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, which allows you to:
- Stream phone calls, music, and TV audio directly to your hearing aids
- Enjoy hands-free conversations without needing to hold your phone
- Connect seamlessly with smartphones, tablets, and other smart devices
This feature enhances daily convenience, ensuring you stay connected whether you’re taking a phone call, listening to a podcast, or watching your favorite TV show.
5. Automatic Sound Adjustments with Adaptive Hearing
Unlike traditional hearing aids that require manual volume adjustments, Signia CROS X features automatic sound adaptation, meaning it:
- Adjusts volume and clarity based on your environment
- Adapts to changing noise levels without manual input
- Optimizes sound processing for a seamless hearing experience
For example, if you move from a quiet room to a noisy café, the device automatically adjusts to ensure you hear speech clearly while reducing unnecessary background noise.
6. Sleek, Lightweight, and Comfortable Design
Comfort is crucial for anyone wearing hearing aids for extended periods. Signia CROS X is designed with:
- A lightweight, ergonomic shape, making it comfortable for all-day use
- Discreet and stylish designs, so it’s barely noticeable when worn
- Secure ear fit, ensuring it stays in place during movement
Unlike bulky traditional hearing aids, the sleek design of Signia CROS X ensures a comfortable and modern hearing solution that blends effortlessly into daily life.
7. Spatial Awareness Restoration for 360° Hearing
Single-sided deafness affects spatial awareness, making it difficult to identify where sounds are coming from. This can be dangerous when crossing the street, cycling, or driving.
Signia CROS X restores 360-degree hearing by:
- Transmitting sound from the non-hearing ear to the hearing ear
- Allowing you to detect sounds from all directions
- Enhancing safety and awareness in outdoor and busy environments
This means that even if someone speaks to you from your deaf side, you’ll still hear them naturally, restoring a balanced and complete hearing experience.
8. Future-Proof Technology with AI-Powered Enhancements
Hearing aids should last for years, adapting to future advancements. Signia CROS X is built with:
- AI-powered technology, which improves hearing performance over time
- Firmware updates, allowing users to receive the latest software enhancements
- Smartphone app integration, for personalized hearing adjustments
With this future-ready technology, your hearing aids will continue to improve, ensuring long-term benefits without the need for frequent replacements.
