Do I Really Need Two Hearing
Aids?
One of the more common questions I am asked as an
Audiologist is whether two
hearing aids are necessary.
If you have hearing loss in
both ears, known as bilateral
hearing loss, you are more than
likely to benefit from hearing
aids in both ears.
Let me share with you some of the reasons
why two hearing aids are better
than one.
By wearing two hearing aids instead of
just one, you may notice you can better
focus in on one speaker in a difficult
listening situation where multiple people
are talking at the same time.
Being able to tell where sounds are
coming from is called localization and is one of the more important
functions of binaural hearing.
Research has shown that when only one hearing aid is worn,
the ear without a hearing aid tends to
lose its ability understand clearly.
Before you decide on one hearing aid, try two. I’m positive you’ll be convinced that two is better
than one.
