One or two hearing aids

I have always heard that if you don't wear both hearing aids, that the ear not worn gets worse. In my case, I need both, so I wear both, and turn them both off in loud areas.

Yes the latest research is indicating that if you don’t use your hearing your brain does lose the ability to hear. I also have a program that will shut them both off in loud (like basketball) venues. I only use the program that shuts off the one side when I’m in a place with background sound and I want to hear to the person next to me.
