The concept of "binaural hearing"—using both ears—is scientifically proven to provide a superior listening experience over using a device in just one ear.
At Amplifon, we focus on providing the most advanced, effective solutions, leveraging our trusted expertise and ongoing care to ensure your hearing correction is complete and reliable.

While it is physically possible to wear just one hearing aid, if you have hearing loss in both ears, it is not recommended.

You can wear one hearing aid if you only have hearing loss in one ear (unilateral loss) or if your hearing loss in the other ear is too severe. However, if both ears require support, wearing one hearing aid instead of two is strongly discouraged, as it reduces your brain’s ability to locate sound and filter noise.

Attempting to correct two-ear loss with only one device can lead to 'auditory deprivation' in the unaided ear, where the brain loses its ability to process sound from that side over time.

Yes, there is a connection between balanced hearing input and your brain's processing of spatial information, which relates to balance.

Wearing one hearing aid when both ears have hearing loss can potentially affect balance and spatial awareness, as your brain relies on two balanced auditory signals to accurately perceive the location and distance of sound sources.

Accurate localisation is crucial for navigating your environment, whether you are walking through busy streets or enjoying a quiet moment in a park. Two hearing aids work together to restore that natural spatial sense.

We address common concerns about cost and accessibility in the Australian market.

Yes, you can purchase a single hearing aid in Australia, but it's important to do so with professional guidance.

Yes, you can legally buy one hearing aid in Australia, but Amplifon's certified experts will only recommend this if your hearing test results indicate a need for correction in only one ear. For bilateral loss, we guide you toward the two-device solution.

Our focus is always on a hearing aid fitting that provides the best long-term outcome, which, for bilateral loss, means two devices.

The cost of two hearing aids varies widely based on technology, features (like Bluetooth and AI), and the level of service you choose.

The average cost of two hearing aids covers a very wide range, typically depending on the technology tier (basic, mid-range, or premium). At Amplifon, we focus on providing transparent pricing and ensure our ongoing care package is always included, adding immense long-term value.

We encourage you to use our free trial to evaluate the benefits of two devices firsthand, which is the only way to truly understand their value to your life.
