No. The main benefit of a CROS transmitter is to make sounds on the side of the poorer ear available. A good example is driving in the car. If your left ear is much poorer than your right, you will have a great deal of difficulty being a passenger in a car with the steering wheel on the left. A CROS transmitter would allow you to “ride shotgun” and still hear the driver. Other common settings where CROS transmitters help are at dinner tables or when playing cards.
