Yes, you are hearing with both sides, through a speaker, with a mic on the outside of the muffs.  The
mic only picks up the sound and has no way of relaying direction(or distance) into the speakers.  You
might be able to tell left vs right by which is louder but I think it would be difficult since they are so
sensitive to sound. It boiles down to doing whatever you feel comfortable with. If you can gauge direction
and distance with electronic muffs, good for you, I can't.

I presently use Pro Ears. Kinda pricey. Anybody have experience with more economical electronic muffs?

That's the same way your ears work. Kind of off topic but that's how your eyes judge distance as well, the off set to either side of your nose gives an angle for triangulation, same principle with optical range finders.

It was indoors at the S&W range.  Guy squeeze one off with one hand and nearly broke his own nose...I think I pooped a little... ;D
