Tandem™ is a new CROS/BiCROS hearing instrument designed to overcome the difficulties associated with hearing in only one ear.
The system picks up sounds on your poor ear side and transfers them to your better ear. Should you have hearing loss in your better ear, Tandem will also help you hear more of what is occurring on your better side.
CROS – the transmitter hearing instrument (HI) microphone located on your poor ear picks up sound from that side of your head and sends it to the receiver HI on your better ear to hear.
BiCROS – the transmitter hearing instrument (HI) microphone located on your poor ear picks up sound from that side of your head and sends it to the receiver HI located on your better ear. Since the better ear has some hearing loss, a second microphone on the receiver HI picks up sound at the better ear and amplifies all sounds to help you hear more effectively.
