Morphology

binaural = aural (transparent) = bi + aural

Formed by the productive prefix 'bi-' (two) plus the adjective 'aural' (relating to hearing), so the meaning 'relating to both ears' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Binaural starts with bi- meaning 'two', like in bicycle, and ends with aural meaning 'ear' or 'hearing'. So, binaural describes sounds or tests that use both ears and can make sound feel like it comes from different directions.
