Two ears are better then one.

Hearing as nature intended.

Hearing as nature intended-with both ears!

Nature has equipped all mammals with two, equally functioning ears as a primary means of survival for locating prey; for hearing an enemy or approaching danger.

for humans, two-eared hearing is just as necessary to survive in our noisy societies; to hear in traffic, in crowds and to understand speech. For many, just hearing properly with both ears may mean the difference between just hearing, and hearing and understanding.

Have you seen anyone wearing a monocle lately?

Chances are you have not. The monocle became obsolete long ago when we recognized the advantages of balanced vision and began to provide binocular sight correction. similarly, hearing help for both ears produces equally advantageous results for those with hearing impariment in two ears.

Hearing with both ears provided the maximum security, speech clarity and sound quality because it improves...

Sound localization.

The ability to localize sound is dependant upon two equally functioning ears. How do we know the direction of a car's approach? The sound reaches the closer ear a few micro-seconds earlier and at a somewhat higher intensity then it reaches the opposite ear. These minute differences in the signals transmitted to our brain by each ear, enable us to make the improtant, and potentially life-saving decisions reguarding the exact location of the car. When one ear is functioning better then the other; there is inadequate information to quickly and reliably determine the dirrection of a sound.

Understanding of speech in noisy places.

Hearing with two ears provides impoved capacity to suppress background noise, making it easier to understand conversation. Unequal hearing in the left and right ears is commonly a very big disadvantage in noise. While one hearing instrument may be helpful in a quiet environment, it may not be helpful in noisy situations. The most difficult understanding speach occurs when a number of people are talking at once. This is usual during the interaction we enjoy, such as with family, friends and colleagues at work, when there is often other environmental noise as well. With two hearing instuments it is possible to maximize understanding in noise.

Hearing with less volume...

A sound presented to borh ears is judged to be louder then same sound, at the same intensity, presented to one ear only. This means that the user of two hearing instruments can set the volume of each one lower, resulting in more pleasant hearing and less amplification of distracting background noises.

Hearing equally from both sides.

Wearing two hearing instruments gives the maximum opportunity to respond accuratly and confidently, whether conversation comes from your left or right side.

Sound quality.

Users of two hearing instruments report many additional benefits:

Most people with hearing loss in both ears can benefit from a binaural (stereo-phonic) hearing instrument fitting.

Science and technological research, as well as the personal experience of many hearing instrument wearers, points convincingly to the fact that, with few exceptions, most hearing impaired people can benefit greatly from wearing two hearing instruments.

The rewards from wearing two hearing instruments are not limited to those people with severe hearing loss. Even if your hearing loss is mild or moderate, a binaural fitting will provide valuable and significant improvement

** Please note.:A binaural hearing instrument fitting may be suitable for a small percentage of hearing instrument users.
