I just recently lost hearing in one ear due to a tumor and it was a traumatic experience to deal with because of my love of music including binaural music which I would use to relax myself. In the case of binaural music the loss was especially felt hard because the only option I had was to listen to stereo headphones via a mono-mix of the signal which made it sound horrible. So after my unilateral hearing loss I went on a journey to find a way to enjoy stereo music via headphone again and I found a headphone that inserts the separate Left and Right drivers into one ear cup making my one working ear hear in stereo again. I am able to enjoy music in stereo again and my brain via my one working ear perceives the sounds from the separate Left and Right drivers in the one ear cup of my modified headphone as if I still had binaural hearing. Being just months out of my acoustic tumor removal surgery and still being able to "zone out" to music, especially binaural music, has been a great therapeutic thing for me. Also, I think - no science data, just my perception - hearing stereo/binaural music via my modified headphones is keeping my brain trained to hear it that way with one ear? I seem to not suffer the confusion of sound origin as badly as I expected to in crowded rooms at work conference rooms, etc. The headphones are called 2E1

Man, I'm sorry I missed this comment 4 years ago! That sounds like hell, I don't know what I'd do if I lost my hearing (even partially). The single-ear-stereo headphones are a great idea, I'm glad you found them!
