    Binaural Hearing
 
 

Two ears are better than one:

  • Increased speech understanding - When the brain receives input from both ears, speech understanding is enhanced, even when background noise is present. With binaural hearing, we are better able to hear and understand soft speech, especially when the person speaking is not directly in front of us.
  • Improved localization - Cues from both the left and right ears make it possible to locate the direction from where sounds originate. With input from both ears, individuals get a better sense of orientation and balance. With binaural hearing, the world seems more "normal."
  • Enhanced sound quality - With binaural hearing, listening is more pleasant because sounds have a fuller quality.

Two hearing instruments are better than one

Of all individuals with hearing loss, approximately 80% have loss in both ears. Most people with hearing loss in both ears will hear best with two hearing instruments. This is known as "binaural amplification." Studies show that even when hearing loss is worse in one ear, most of them will benefit from binaural amplification.

CENTRA - Binaural Hearing

Years of clinical research and real life show the benefits of binaural amplification:

  • Increased speech understanding - Binaural amplification delivers more of the sounds the brain needs for accurate processing making it easier and more comfortable to understand speech-in-noise.
  • Improved localization - Binaural amplification helps the brain more accurately receive sound from both left and right ears, making it easier to locate the direction of sounds. This is known as localization. Localization is important in daily life. For example, it allows you to know which way to turn when someone is calling your name or which direction traffic is coming from.
  • Enhanced sound quality - Sounds have a fuller quality and a sense of balance when two hearing instruments are worn. Volume levels can be set lower minimizing the risk of distortion and auditory fatigue caused by higher volume settings when only one hearing instrument is worn.

e2e wireless - The best for both ears

Hearing instruments with e2e wireless are the best solution for people who wear two hearing instruments. The hearing instruments are always in perfect harmony continuously sharing information in order to enhance the listening experience.

  • Increased speech understanding with e2e wireless - Recent studies showed that synchronized hearing systems increase speech understanding in noise up to 40% compared to nonsychronized systems.
  • Improved localization with e2e wireless - Synchronized hearing systems preserve perceptual cues necessary for spatial listening and thereby improve localization over nonsychronized hearing systems.
  • Enhanced sound quality with e2e wireless - As any mismatch of program and volume settings are excluded, best sound quality is always ensured.
