binaurally

Through two ears

Binaurally means using or involving both ears.

The term appears most often in audio contexts—binaural recording captures sound with two microphones positioned like human ears, creating a three-dimensional listening experience when played through headphones: The podcast was recorded binaurally for immersive effect.

In medicine, hearing tests may be administered binaurally rather than to each ear separately.
