In the past, people with hearing loss often wore only one hearing instrument. Today the most common approach is a balanced fitting – one in each ear.
Research shows that two hearing aids make speech easier to understand than only one. Just as the brain converts visual input from both eyes into one clearly defined image, it turns the input from two ears into a single sound picture where speech stands out more clearly.
People who wear two instruments typically experience greater ease of listening, more stamina, better participation in social situations. Listening is more comfortable because less volume is needed when two ears are aided.
