Are two hearing aids better than one?

In most cases, it's better to have two hearing aids. Wearing two (binaural) hearing aids allows more information to reach your brain and makes it easier to hear speech against background noise. You'll have more balanced hearing with two hearing aids, preventing the need to turn your head toward the sound if you're wearing only one. And wearing two hearing aids means neither of the devices needs to be turned up as loudly as when you're wearing just one. That should prevent some feedback. Still, financial limitations or other problems may prevent some people from wearing two hearing aids.
