Should you wear one Hearing Aid 
or two?

When it comes to hearing loss, one of the most common questions 
people ask is, “Do I need one hearing aid or two?” The kind of hearing 
loss, lifestyle requirements, and individual preferences are some of the 
variables that will influence this crucial choice. 
At Aanvii Hearing, we believe that understanding your options will help 
you make an informed choice that enhances your hearing experience and 
quality of life.
1. Hearing Loss in Both Ears (Bilateral Hearing Loss)
For individuals with hearing loss in both ears, the most common 
recommendation is to wear two hearing aids. This approach is known as 
binaural hearing. There are several reasons why this is the preferred choice:
• Improved Sound Localization
• Enhanced Speech Understanding 
• Reduced Listening Effort
2. Hearing Loss in One Ear (Unilateral Hearing 
Loss)
In cases where only one ear is affected, a single hearing aid may be 
sufficient to restore hearing on the side with the impairment. This is 
especially true if the other ear has normal hearing. However, there are 
exceptions. Some individuals with complete hearing loss in one ear 
(unilateral deafness) may benefit from a special device called a CROS 
system.
A CROS system works by picking up sound from the non-hearing ear and 
routing it to the good ear, ensuring that the person can still perceive 
sounds from both sides.
3. Lifestyle and Personal Preferences
While the technical aspects of hearing loss often guide the decision, 
personal preferences and lifestyle factors also play a role in whether to use 
one or two hearing aids. Some individuals may prefer to start with just one 
hearing aid due to budget considerations, comfort, or simplicity. However, it’s 
important to note that for most people with bilateral hearing loss, two hearing 
aids provide a more natural and comfortable listening experience.
