Not altogether:  With fading on one antenna and not on the other, then vice
versa, diversity makes listening to the result copyable where it's NOT if
you just listen to one or the other.  They don't have to be in different
ears.  A lot of folks only have hearing in 1 ear, and diversity is still
valuable!

No-No-No...

Diversity means one receiver in one ear and the other RX in the other ear.

I use two stereo speakers most of the time with diversity and it is
really quite good.  I DON'T have to use headphones for diversity.  The
two speakers are enough to spread the sound of the noise across what
seems like 140 degrees with my ears.  That, with CW or SSB sounding
discreet in a single place before me (CW more so of course) is
wonderful for improving SSB that I simply could not copy monaural.

Remember it is your BRAIN'S processing of the sounds that does the
magic. Mixing the two audios into one signal prior to brain kills it.
