One or a pair?
Decide according to your needs

 

·Based on your hearing loss

Severe hearing loss may require the use of two hearing aids at the same time, and mild to moderate hearing loss may consider wearing one side.·

Based on your desired level of comfort and adaptability

Some people may not be able to adapt to wearing two hearing aids at the same time, while others feel that the effect of wearing one side is not good. The choice of one or a pair can be made according to the feelings and needs of the individual.
Therefore, hearing aids do not have to wear a pair, choose a unilateral or bilateral pair, mainly based on individual needs, economic ability and comfort to decide.We hope everyone can find the right hearing aids.
