Will I need a hearing aid for both ears?

When we hear with a proper balance of sound, we always understand speech in noise best.
Two-ear hearing is better than one. This is called “binaural hearing”.

Loud noise exposure and age are the most common causes of hearing loss, which often affects both ears simultaneously. If you have hearing loss in only one ear, one hearing aid is often all that is needed. However, if there is a loss in both ears, you will certainly benefit most with a binaural solution.

Today, about two-thirds of new wearers opt for the surround-sound, dual hearing device solution, and as a group they report a higher level of satisfaction than purchasers of a single hearing aid.

Won’t wearing a hearing aid make me stand out?
While you are no doubt concerned about appearance, compensating for a hearing loss by asking people to repeat themselves, inappropriately responding to people (or not responding at all), or even withdrawing from social situations is more obvious than wearing a hearing aid.
Today’s hearing aids are small, discreet and more stylish than ever before. Some are even invisible. And, chances are that once you have a hearing aid, your quality of life will improve so much that cosmetics won’t be as much of an issue for you.

What are the most common causes of hearing loss?

There are several causes. The main ones include excessive noise, infections, genetics, birth defects, infections of the head or ear, aging, and reaction to drugs or cancer treatment.

How can I recognize hearing problems?
Most of the time hearing problems begin gradually, without discomfort or pain. What’s more, family members often learn to adapt to someone’s hearing loss, without even realizing they are doing it. Here are some questions to ask yourself to determine whether you have hearing loss:
1. Do I often ask people to repeat themselves?
2. Do I have trouble following conversations with more than two people?
3. Do I have difficulty hearing what is said unless I’m facing the speaker?
4. Does it sound like other people are mumbling or slurring their words?
5. Do I struggle to hear in crowded places like restaurants, malls and meeting rooms?
6. Do I have a hard time hearing women or children?
7. Do I prefer the TV or radio volume louder than others?
8. Do I experience ringing or buzzing in my ears?
If you answered yes to several of these questions, chances are you do suffer from hearing loss.
