With Both Ears

One Is Less Than Half
Contrary to what you may think, one ear working less effectively than the other can have a significant impact on your daily activities. Hearing with one ear is like trying to see with one eye - it's possible, but not as effective. That's why you don't see people wearing monocles anymore. They became obsolete when eye specialists realized the many important advantages of balanced vision.

Nature Has A Way With Two
Like two legs, two wings, and two eyes, nature has equipped the animal kingdom with a balanced pair of ears for reasons very important to their existence. Many species depend on two ears to locate prey, adversaries, even mates. And without two ears working evenly, their survival would be in doubt.

Now That's What I Call Using Your Head
Although our ears are certainly vital, our sense of "hearing" actually occurs in between. Taking the input from both ears, the 'built-in signal processor' known as our brain blends these signals into a single sound "picture".

An Important Balancing Act
To enjoy true balances sound perception, BOTH ears must be functioning evenly. Without such equality, our brain presents us with incomplete information. To prevent this, Central Hearing Aid Center may recommend you wear two hearing aids.

Localization
Correcting the difference can be important to your safety. Balanced hearing is vital to our ability to locate where a sound is coming from. Our brain instinctively locates a sound source by measuring the tiny differences in duration and intensity between each ear.

A Matter of Survival
When crossing a street, the sound of an approaching car reaches the closer ear slightly before the other ear, and at a higher intensity. These differences are translated by the brain, allowing us to recognize the car's location.

Relaxing, Stress-less Hearing
With both ears providing even input, less amplification may be required to achieve a comfortable listening level. And you don't need to worry about always getting your 'good ear' turned towards sounds. With all the additional benefits, you may actually find balanced hearing to be less stressful.

Don't Put It Off Any Longer
Central Hearing Aid Center can determine by electronic evaluation if you can be helped by wearing two hearing aids. Even if you're already wearing one aid, better hearing with BOTH ears can offer you a fuller, more enriching sound experience.
