TransEar - Transcranial CROS system

 

Puretone are pleased to announce that we have been granted sole distribution rights in the UK & Ireland for the revolutionary TransEar in-ear bone-conduction system, pioneered in the USA as a surgery-free answer to single-sided deafness.

With the TransEar being a single hearing instrument, worn on the deaf side, it makes it an innovative and elegant solution that enables the effect of hearing on both sides.

TransEar features a small but sophisticated behind-the-ear digital hearing aid, which is joined by a thin flexible connector wire to a “transfer unit” – a small custom acrylic half-shell which contains a miniature oscillator.

These components fit on and in the ear that has no hearing. Using bone conduction, the oscillator conducts vibrations across the skull to the good cochlea on the other side.

It doesn’t just amplify sounds; instead TransEar works by bone conduction, utilizing a miniature oscillator in the canal of the bad ear to send sound energy via the bones of the skull to the good ear.
