Two aids or one aid?
If you have a hearing loss in only one ear and the second ear is normal, then you only need one hearing aid.
If you have a hearing loss in one ear and the second ear is “dead” and has no usable hearing, then you need only one hearing aid.
If neither of these apply to you – you probably will need to have two hearing aids. There are three facts of hearing:
- You can hear further in the distance with two ears than you can with one ear.
- It takes two ears to separate speech from noise when in a difficult listening environments.
- It takes two ears to have sound direction.
