Etymology

From bi- 'two' + otic (from Greek ous, otos 'ear'). A medical or anatomical term meaning relating to both ears simultaneously.

Kelly Says

Binotic hearing—how your brain processes sound from both ears—is what gives you spatial hearing and the ability to locate exactly where a sound is coming from, something a single ear simply cannot do.
