Phonak Audeo Paradise CROS P

Hey there! Let’s chat about the Phonak Audéo Paradise CROS P—a clever little device from Phonak, a Swiss brand under Sonova, perfecting hearing tech since 1947. Launched in August 2020 on the Paradise platform, this isn’t a standalone hearing aid—it’s a CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signal) system paired with a Phonak Audéo Paradise hearing aid. It’s built for folks with unilateral hearing loss (UHL), where one ear can’t hear well (or at all), and the other ear does the heavy lifting (moderate to severe loss, 20-100 dB). Available in rechargeable (CROS P-R) or battery-powered (CROS P-13) models, it picks up sound from the bad ear and sends it to the good ear via a paired Audéo Paradise RIC. With Bluetooth streaming and Paradise tech, it’s a slick solution for anyone in Bangladesh wanting to hear from all sides.

Key Features

What’s it packing? The CROS P isn’t about amplifying sound on its own—it’s a transmitter with a microphone that captures sound from your non-hearing ear and beams it wirelessly to a compatible Audéo Paradise hearing aid (like the P90-R, P70-R, or P50-13T). It uses Paradise’s AutoSense OS 4.0 to blend seamlessly with the hearing aid’s settings, offering universal Bluetooth for streaming from iOS or Android, and an IP68 rating for dust and moisture resistance. The rechargeable CROS P-R gives 12.5 hours of use on a 3-hour charge, while the CROS P-13 runs on a size 13 zinc-air battery for about 7-10 days. Both models support tap control (CROS P-R only), hands-free calls (with the paired aid), and RogerDirect compatibility for extra clarity in noise—smart, simple tech for single-sided deafness.

Why Choose Phonak Audéo Paradise CROS P?

Why this one? It’s tailor-made for unilateral hearing loss—perfect if one ear’s out of commission and you want to hear from that side without turning your head all day. I love how it teams up with an Audéo Paradise RIC (sold separately) to balance sound—unlike a standard hearing aid, it’s all about routing, not amplifying on the bad side. Compared to the older CROS B, the Paradise version adds better sound quality, Bluetooth, and rechargeability (in the P-R). It’s not as fancy as the newer Infinio CROS, but it’s a solid, proven choice. That IP68 rating handles Bangladesh’s humid, dusty climate, and Bluetooth keeps you connected. If you need to hear from all directions without breaking the bank, this is a great fit.

Performance in Different Environments

Picture this: you’re at a quiet dinner—the CROS P grabs sound from your bad ear’s side and sends it to your good ear’s Audéo Paradise aid, keeping chats flowing without repositioning. Now, imagine a noisy Dhaka café; it teams up with the hearing aid’s noise reduction (like Dynamic Noise Cancellation on higher tiers), helping you catch speech from the non-hearing side—Phonak says it boosts awareness and speech clarity for UHL users. It’s not amplifying the bad ear, so performance depends on the paired aid’s tech level (P90, P70, etc.). Bluetooth streams calls or TV audio to the good ear cleanly, and Roger mics can supercharge it in loud settings. IP68 keeps it humming through sweat or rain—perfect for Bangladesh’s busy, humid days.

Benefits for Bangladeshi Users

This device brings some cool perks for Bangladesh. The CROS P-R’s rechargeable battery lasts 12.5 hours on a 3-hour charge—great for all-day use despite power cuts (streaming cuts it to 10-11 hours); a 30-minute fast charge gives 4-5 hours. The CROS P-13’s size 13 battery lasts 7-10 days—ideal if charging’s a hassle. Its RIC-style design is discreet and comfy, and IP68 shrugs off sweat and dust in humid weather. For UHL, it restores sound from the bad side, working with the paired aid’s 12-20 channels (depending on model) for clear speech and awareness—perfect for daily life. Bluetooth adds a modern touch for calls or TV, and Paradise tech keeps it efficient. It’s a practical, life-changing fix here.

Maintenance and Care

Keeping it in shape is easy. Wipe it daily with a soft, dry cloth—Bangladesh’s humidity and dust are no match for IP68. For the CROS P-R, charge it fully in 3 hours for 12.5 hours (or 30 minutes for 4-5 hours) with the Charger Case—keep it dry and cool. For the CROS P-13, swap the size 13 battery every 7-10 days and carry spares. Every 6 months, drop by Shono Bangladesh for a pro clean or check—debris can sneak in. Store it in the case when off, and it’ll keep routing sound for years (rechargeable battery lasts about 6 years)—low-maintenance help for your hearing.

Conclusion

The Phonak Audéo Paradise CROS P is a smart, reliable teammate for unilateral hearing loss—discreet, effective, and ready for Bangladesh’s vibe. It’s a specialized 2020 Paradise solution, pairing with an Audéo Paradise RIC to bring sound from your bad ear to your good one, with Bluetooth and solid tech in a tough shell. Whether you’re chatting in quiet or noisy spots or streaming on the go, it keeps you in the loop effortlessly.
