ONE HEARING AID OR TWO?

Many audiologists recommend purchasing two hearing aids rather than just one. It may seem expensive and unreasonable at first but with two hearing aids you hear clearer. There is a better balance between the sounds that are picked up by each ear. .If you only buy one hearing aid, (when you really need two) you have to focus more on hearing and understanding with only one aid. It’s a lot like wearing one prescription lens in a glasses frame. You would have to squint to see through the regular clear lens if that eye had reduced vision. In some cases you will need only one hearing aid and if that is the case, consider yourself lucky

In one of my earlier posts I mentioned that my hearing aids are “my ears”. I actually heard this phrase when I was looking at hearing aids. The young lady at the desk said “Wait just one minute until I get my ears in”. It made such an impression on me that I borrowed the phrase. Without my aids I would not be able to enjoy the world around me. With them, my artificial ears become my real ears. They hear what I can’t and help to make feel “normal” or like a regular person who can hear clearly.
