Which is the best ear to put an audible range aid , the apposite ear or impossible?
Jane -- spoken like someone who doesn't own a hearing impairment and doesn't work near someone with audible range impairments.
Presumably you are referring to the fact that you hold a bilateral hearing loss, and one ear is worse than the other. The answer to your cross-examine depends on how bad the audible range loss is in your desperate ear, how great the differential is between the two ears, and how good is your audible range aid.
If your bad ear is within the severe to profound range of audible range loss, then an aid surrounded by that side may not add closely of value beside respect to speech recognition, especially if the aid is analog to some extent than digital. If you've gone unaided so long that you really with the sole purpose listen out of the good side, an aid on the desperate side might not help any.
However, if your loss is moderate to severe, then a apt digital aid on the bad side really could affix to your ability to fathom out speech. Where an aid on the bad side will help out probably regardless of your level of audible range loss is with nouns localization, i.e. being competent to tell where on earth sound is coming from. All you can really do is guess, consequently try it out and if you don't like it, own it reprogrammed and try the other side.
The purpose of a hearing aid is to give a hand the ear with the audible range loss to hear. So the bad hear.
