It has been recommended that you purchase two hearing aids, but do you really need two? Are two really better than one? Well, that depends, but if you have hearing loss in both ears, this is probably so. Wearing two aids is called "binaural amplification", while wearing one is called, "monaural amplification". Binaural amplification has benefits, but not for everybody.
Monaural (one ear) vs. Binaural (two ears) amplification
If you were to decide to only purchase one hearing instrument, typically that aid is worn in the 'better' ear, or the ear that would best benefit from amplification. For those with a hearing loss in both ear, binaural amplification is known to provide the best acoustic experience. There are several advantages to binaural amplification.
