About CROS/BICROS Pure C&G BCT IX Transmitter
The Signia CROS/BiCROS Pure C&G BCT IX Transmitter is designed for a very specific group of people: those who have little to no usable hearing in one ear. If you have single-sided deafness or an unaidable ear on one side, a standard hearing aid simply cannot help that ear. This transmitter picks up sounds from your poorer side and wirelessly sends them to a compatible Signia receiver worn on your better ear, so you stop missing conversations happening on your deaf side. That means you can follow discussions at the dinner table, hear a colleague speaking to your left, or catch what a passenger in the back seat of a car is saying — situations that were frustrating or impossible before. The sound quality follows Signia's established processing approach, which prioritises speech clarity and tries to reduce the effort of listening in noisy environments such as restaurants or busy offices. The transmitter sits behind your ear in a compact RIC form, so it is discreet and does not draw obvious attention. It is designed to pair with a compatible Signia RIC hearing aid on your hearing ear, meaning you will need to purchase or already own that receiver unit separately — this listing is for the transmitter only, so please confirm compatibility with your audiologist before purchasing. Battery life will depend on your daily usage pattern and streaming habits, and wireless connectivity allows the transmitter to communicate seamlessly with its paired receiver without manual adjustment on your part. This device is not suitable for people who have aidable hearing in both ears, and it will not benefit someone with a straightforward bilateral hearing loss who simply needs amplification on each side. It is also not ideal if you are looking for a single, all-in-one solution, since it functions as one component of a two-device CROS or BiCROS system. At ₹35,990, it represents a specialist investment in your hearing comfort if single-sided deafness is your challenge.

How it compares
- vs a standard RIC hearing aid: A standard RIC amplifies sound in an ear with usable residual hearing, whereas this transmitter is specifically for an ear with no aidable hearing, routing sound wirelessly to your better side.
- vs a bone-anchored hearing system (BAHA): A BAHA requires a surgical implant or headband to conduct sound through bone, while this CROS transmitter is a fully non-surgical, removable device.
- vs other brand CROS transmitters: This transmitter is engineered to work exclusively within the Signia ecosystem, so it offers seamless wireless pairing with compatible Signia receivers rather than requiring third-party workarounds.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a CROS and a BiCROS system, and which one do I need?
A CROS system is for people with no usable hearing in one ear and normal hearing in the other, while a BiCROS system is for people with no usable hearing in one ear and a hearing loss in the other ear. Your audiologist will assess your hearing profile and tell you which configuration is appropriate for you.
Does this listing include the receiver hearing aid as well?
No, this listing is for the Signia CROS/BiCROS Pure C&G BCT IX Transmitter only. You will need a compatible Signia receiver hearing aid on your better ear, which is sold separately. Please speak to a HearClear audiologist to confirm the correct pairing.
How does the transmitter send sound to my other ear?
The transmitter picks up sounds from your poorer side and wirelessly streams them in real time to the compatible Signia receiver worn on your better ear. This happens automatically without you needing to press any buttons during normal use.
Will I be able to tell where sounds are coming from after using this system?
A CROS system improves your awareness of sounds on your deaf side, but it does not fully restore natural directional hearing or localisation, which requires two functioning ears. You will, however, miss far fewer conversations and environmental sounds coming from your poorer side.
Is this transmitter comfortable to wear all day?
The device uses a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal) style behind-the-ear form factor, which is among the lighter and more discreet designs available. Most users adapt to wearing it comfortably within a few weeks, though individual experience can vary.
What is the price of this transmitter and is there a trial period?
The Signia CROS/BiCROS Pure C&G BCT IX Transmitter is priced at ₹35,990 at HearClear India. Trial and return policies vary by clinic, so speak directly with your nearest HearClear team for details on trial options before committing to a purchase.
