Most hearing impairments affect both ears—so you’re shortchanging one of your ears if you opt for a single device. Besides this, hearing instruments that work in pairs cooperatively deliver a truer hearing experience.

• Better directional hearing.
  You’ll be better able to locate the source of sounds. With just one hearing device, it can be hard to know who is speaking.


• No “head shadow” effect.
  When a sound is coming from your unaided side, it loses consonant sounds by the time it reaches the aided ear. This loss of frequency makes it harder to understand speech.
