Two eyes, two hands, two feet, two ears\u2026 When you or someone close to you experiences a hearing loss, is it better to wear one hearing aid or two?<\/p>\n

What are the advantages of hearing with both ears?<\/h2>\n

Try blocking one ear to listen to a program or to music. What do you notice? \u201cWith two ears, it\u2019s much easier to understand speech and to make out sounds in a noisy environment,\u201d explains audioprosthesist Mathieu V\u00e9zina. \u201cSound quality is better and clearer. And finally, hearing is much more comfortable and balanced.\u201d<\/p>\n

And most importantly, it really is much easier to locate where sound is coming from with two hearing aids<\/a>. For example, when you take a walk, you will be better able to know where a car is coming from and if it\u2019s nearby or far away, even when it\u2019s behind you.<\/p>\n

What is the risk of sensory deprivation?<\/h2>\n

Studies show that when you wear a device in only one ear, the other ear\u2019s ability to understand speech will decline much more than in the ear with the device. The difference is huge, ranging from 5% to 17%, depending on the case. By depriving one of your ears of auditory stimulation, you run the risk of decreasing your ability to understand speech, even if you wear a device later.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have your hearing checked regularly, to decrease the impact that hearing loss can have on your day-to-day life. Good hearing is one of the factors that allows you to stay socially active and to stay in contact with your loved ones.<\/p>\n
