Hearing Loss Myths

Do I really need 2 hearing aids?

The answer is very simple…YES!

  • If you have hearing loss in both ears, you need hearing aids in both ears

We hear best using two ears…here are a few reasons why:

  • Localization of the sound source
  • Improved understanding
  • Less fatiguing and stressful
  • Safety
  • Greater perception of hearing landscape
Hearing Loss only affects ‘old people’ and is merely a sign of aging.
  • Only 35% of people with hearing loss are older than age 64
  • There are close to six million people in the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 44
  • Hearing loss affects all age groups
Hiding my hearing loss is better than wearing hearing aids.
  • With today’s hearing aids, sophisticated circuits often work automatically to improve hearing for soft sounds and speech while making loud sounds more comfortable
  • Advanced technology within hearing instruments can also reduce noise while enhancing speech, automatically
  • Whistling or ‘feedback’ is a problem of the past with faster feedback cancellation systems
