Hearing with 2 hearing aids
Hearing with 1 hearing aid
BENEFITS OF BINAURAL HEARING
-
Better sound quality (high definition);
-
Facilitates understanding in noisier environments, as the brain needs signals from both ears to effectively separate speech from noise, allowing conversations to be captured from all sides;
-
Improves understanding in group conversations, since you will be able to hear the sounds coming from each side;
-
Keep both ears active, which helps to maintain discrimination (understanding of words);
-
Easier and less tiring, because listening becomes more natural and balanced;
-
More comfort, because you will need less gain (volume) to understand;
-
Helps to preserve hearing in the long term;
-
Participates in maintaining the speed of identification of sounds, letters, and therefore words;
-
More balanced listening, you no longer have to turn your head to hear;
-
Localization of sounds and speech, something impossible with a single hearing aid;
-
Lets you hear over a greater distance.
In short, the two (2) cerebral hemispheres will be stimulated when wearing two hearing aids!
Two ears are better than one!
Quick interesting test on sound quality:
-
Try listening to music with headphones or earphones;
-
Remove one of the two earphones from your ear;
-
Wait 2 minutes and put the earphone back in order to get the sound back in both ears;
You've just experienced the difference between one and two hearing aids when listening to music!
Imagine what this difference becomes with speech. It is significant!
