A member asked:

How to tell if you need hearing aids for both ears?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Audiogram: An ENT doctor or an audiologist can perform detailed testing and determine not only the degree of loss in each ear, but which sound frequencies have been affected and then tailor the hearing aids to correct these specific deficiencies.
