Single-Sided Hearing Loss Solutions in Rawalpindi
Advanced CROS & BiCROS Hearing Technologies at Kohistan Tower, Saddar
Having normal hearing in one ear but severe hearing loss or deafness in the other presents unique everyday challenges. Single-Sided Hearing Loss (Unilateral Hearing Loss) makes it difficult to locate where sounds are coming from (sound localization) and creates significant difficulty understanding speech when noise comes from your poor-hearing side. At Khan Audiology Clinic in Saddar, Rawalpindi, we offer specialized CROS and BiCROS hearing aid technology and integrated ENT diagnostics to route sound seamlessly around your head to your good ear.
Specialized Unilateral Audiometric Evaluation
Single-sided hearing loss requires precise diagnostic mapping to differentiate between the good hearing ear and the impaired ear. We perform comprehensive Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), bone-conduction testing, and speech discrimination evaluations to determine your exact auditory profile and candidate status for specialized routing devices.
Advanced CROS & BiCROS Wireless Hearing Solutions
For ears that cannot benefit from traditional amplification, we fit state-of-the-art CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signals) and BiCROS devices from global leaders like Phonak, Signia, and Widex. A discreet wireless transmitter worn on your impaired ear captures sound and transmits it instantly to a receiver on your better ear, restoring 360-degree sound awareness.
Urgent ENT Medical Screening & Ongoing Care
Sudden hearing loss in one ear is a critical medical event that requires immediate evaluation. Operating within Khan ENT & Medical Care Center, our team provides urgent ENT medical oversight to screen for acoustic neuroma, viral inner ear infections, or sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL), ensuring fast medical intervention alongside audiological management.
FAQ
What is Single-Sided Deafness (SSD)?
Single-Sided Deafness is a condition where an individual has severe to profound hearing loss or total deafness in one ear while having normal or treatable hearing in the other ear.
How does a CROS hearing aid system work?
A CROS system uses two small devices. A wireless microphone transmitter is worn on the non-hearing ear to pick up sounds from that side. It then wirelessly streams those sounds in real time to a receiver placed on your good-hearing ear, allowing you to hear conversations happening on your “blind side” without turning your head.
What is the difference between CROS and BiCROS?
- CROS: Used when one ear has hearing loss and the other ear has completely normal hearing.
- BiCROS: Used when one ear has severe hearing loss and the better ear also has some degree of hearing loss that requires mild amplification.
What should I do if I experience sudden hearing loss in one ear?
Sudden hearing loss in one ear (often accompanied by a popping sound, fullness, or severe tinnitus) is a medical emergency. You should seek an immediate ENT and audiological evaluation within 24 to 48 hours, as prompt medical therapy significantly improves chances of recovery.
