Hearing Aids – One or Two?
“Like our vision, our hearing mechanism relies on input from both ears to locate sound sources. One ear simply cannot do the work of two. To achieve the most natural hearing experience, it is vital that both ears work equally well.
Those that wearing two hearing aids understand more clearly and enjoy better sound quality.
Our ears allow us to focus on specific sounds and conversations. Hearing properly with both ears help the brain to distinguish speech from noise more easily than if only one ear receives the sound. Two ears make our hearing more balanced and enable us to determine which direction a sound is coming from, like the location of an oncoming car or the position of someone speaking to you.
Hearing with both ears is also far more comfortable. With both ears working together, less amplification is neede to hear everydau sounds and lower volume means less distracting background noise.
There is so much in Life that’s worth hearing. Hearing clearly again will have a positive impact on your hearing.”
