Starkey CROS Hearing Aids

Starkey CROS

The Starkey CROS hearing aids offer a groundbreaking solution for people with single-sided deafness (SSD) or significant hearing loss in one ear. Known for their industry-leading sound quality, advanced technology, and exceptional comfort, Starkey consistently ranks among the top hearing aid brands worldwide.

The CROS system is specially designed for those who need to “reconnect” their weaker ear by transmitting sounds to their stronger ear, ensuring a richer, more natural listening experience.

If you experience difficulties hearing conversations on one side, or find yourself constantly repositioning during group conversations, the Starkey CROS could significantly enhance not only your hearing but your overall quality of life.

Audiologist’s Point of View

Who Should Use Starkey CROS

Starkey CROS is an excellent choice for:

Individuals with profound hearing loss or deafness in one ear.
Patients who experience difficulty localizing sound.
People looking for discreet, easy-to-use technology.
Users who value direct streaming and app control.

An audiologist can perform a detailed assessment to confirm if CROS is the best solution based on your specific hearing profile.

Why choose a hearing aid center vs online provider?

Buying hearing aids isn’t just about the device — it’s about the care that comes with it.

Professional care from licensed hearing health care providers
Comprehensive audiological exam to evaluation your exact hearing needs
Hearing aids professionally programmed and fitted for your hearing
Ongoing support from licensed professionals who understand your unique hearing needs.

Online providers may offer convenience, but they can’t match the accuracy of in-person testing or the personalized service that helps you hear your best every day.

Find A Local Hearing Center

Interested in the Starkey CROS? Getting professionally fitted at a local hearing aid center ensures your devices are tailored to your unique hearing needs. An in-person fitting allows for precise adjustments, a comfortable fit, and expert guidance you can rely on over time. With a local audiologist, you’re not just getting hearing aids—you’re gaining ongoing support and care to help you hear your best every day. Pricing can vary by location depending on bundle options, and some practices may accept insurance or offer financing options.
