Who do you really need two hearing aids?
With some exceptions, if you have hearing loss in both ears, you should have hearing aids in both ears. There are three primary reasons for this:1. The brain needs input from both sides of the head for balanced hearing.2. The brain needs balanced hearing to be able to localize sounds.3. The brain needs balanced hearing to hear voices in noise.** Difficulty hearing in noise is one of the most common complaints we hear. A single hearing aid will be of benefit in a quiet listening situation. However, in a noisy situation such as a restaurant, dining room, work environment, or car, the brain needs input from both ears to pull out a specific speech signal from the background noise. Hearing aids cannot do this alone! Advanced technology hearing aids often employ a circuit to help reduce noise; however, your brain will not perceive this benefit from only one ear.Expectations from a hearing aidA hearing aid CAN:1. Make soft sounds louder, thus making them easier to hear.2. Allow you to hear in some situations that used to give you trouble, such as conversations.3. Help you hear high-pitch sounds better, thus helping you to understand speech better.4. Help you feel more at ease in social situations by making it easier to hear what is being said.A hearing aid CANNOT:1. Allow you to hear extremely soft sounds.2. Cure distortion in your hearing. Distortion is usually due to a problem in your inner ear. A hearing aid will mechanically equalize the sounds you hear, but not correct the damaged inner ear.3. Allow you to hear well in ALL situations of background noise. An advanced hearing aid noise setting will enhance speech and reduce background noise; however noise will likely continue to be the most difficult listening environment. Lip-reading will compliment the sounds you hear in all situations.4. Amplify only what you want to hear.With some exceptions, if you have hearing loss in both ears, you should have hearing aids in both ears. There are three primary reasons for this:
