What are the pros and cons of wearing 2 hearing aids than just 1 hearing aid?
For me, it's for safety reasons, and I've read that you know where sound is coming from if you wear 2 aids instead of just only 1 (which I only wear 1 aid in my right ear, because my left unaided ear is deaf and hearing aids do not help me in this ear). I have always do not know where the sound was from, and that I missed some conversation when they speak around my deaf ear when I wasn't looking (even using my right hearing aid, I still miss some words when people talk to me in a certain tone of voice!).
What about your experiences of having 2 hearing aids that may be better than 1 aid or with only 1 aid?
