Why Both Ears?
The advantages of binaural hearing:
- Improved detection of soft speech - With binaural hearing, we are better able to hear and understand soft speech.
- Increased intelligibility - When the brain receives input from both ears, speech understanding is enhanced, especially in background noise situations.
- Enhanced sound quality - With binaural hearing, sounds have a fuller quality and the listener has a sense of balance.
- Better localization - When the brain receives sound from both the left and right ears, it’s easier to locate the direction of sounds.
