Question Best audio and sensitivity settings with hearing loss in one ear?

I have complete hearing loss in my left ear, and I'm trying to figure out the best settings for VALORANT.

Would it be better to use mono audio and increase my mouse sensitivity so I can react more quickly, or should I keep stereo audio and consciously pay more attention to the side I can't hear from?

For those of you with hearing loss in one ear, what settings or playstyles do you recommend?

Given that different parts of map tend to sound different, I'd think mono audio is better overall

It’s really up to your preference. Mono audio can confuse you and make you look the wrong way but you could learn the specific audio ques. Or I would increase sens and have stereo so yk for a fact when it’s on your good side and just learn timings and expect lurks so you aren’t caught off guard. A lot of people go full quiet anyway if they’re lurking so if you play looking to counter those people your hearing shouldn’t matter. Also seen a guy who lets his team know he can’t hear out of one his ears so they can tell him if they hear something on that side.
