monaurally

Through one ear

Monaurally means through or with one ear only, as opposed to both ears.

The term appears in contexts involving hearing tests, audio equipment, and sound perception: The patient was tested monaurally in each ear.

Monaural recordings or playback deliver the same signal without stereo separation.
