The package may say that the device isn't for hearing impaired people, but with my 50% hearing loss in my right ear, it does help me hear better and more clearly.
We got one for my father. It's not $3000 hearing aid but then again it's not $3000 every 6 months when he loses one. Big bonus NO TINY BATTERIES! While I agree it's not a "Hearing Aid" it does amplify sound and is very easy to use. For those not very adept with small devices and with significant hearing loss this a good alternative to large expenditures and difficult to use devices.
I own a $2,000. hearing aid that is about as sophisticated as a tree stump. ON--OFF--VOLUME. It works OK in a quiet room with no background noise and with a person speaking to me who has the good sense to look at me when they speak. Two reasons for looking at me: 1. So I can't read their lips, and 2. so they can see the look of discomfort on my face when I can't hear them. Remember this: It is the speaker's responsibility to make themselves heard. Enough of my rant. This low cost device looks like it's worth a try. A bit of advice: Have a local audiologist make an earmold for you to use in place of the earbud. About $75.00. Worth it.
I will try this for lectures as sometimes it is not easy to hear the speakers especially if you sit in the back of the room, especially in the conference rooms if the sound system is not good.
Your comments are way off base -- there is no hissing sound emitted from the ear piece! who are you working for?? These amplifiers are perfect for many people! I love mine and I've lost hearing in both ears! Do not listen to this idxxxt!
+buffy mullin i agree with you i have two and i love mine i where mine all the time because i have tenanices and hearing loss in both ears my wife hate that i have to where them cause i can hear so much i watch tv on around 7-9 on sound she cant hear it and i can hear my cell phone just fine
It does work for what it supposed to do , the problem is with the wire that go's to the earpiece. The wire is way too long and over time becomes cut from putting the earpiece in and out no matter how careful you are with it. I just got a sentire med sm-202 and this is 100% better by far.
I bought a set for my mom and she loved it! It worked for her and she said there's no hissing sound. I don't know about others, but it worked pretty good for my mom ❤️
I have had hearing problems literally from birth. With hearing aids in my area starting at $5000.00, these are more affordable. I have conductive hearing loss which means sound does not get through my ear drums which are actually not the ear drums I was born with they are grafted replacements. I also have to hear over the volume of tinnitus I have. For me to be able to hear better I need louder volume. These work for me most of the time when they are charged. They don't work on the telephone. Also, they don't last very long, just a few months before they stop taking a charge. The company doesn't let you file a warranty more than once.
Interesting review and nice honest opinions regarding this device. I just bought one... I think you are forgetting one very important thing about the human condition. We have a very powerful and natural ability that most people are totally and blissfully unaware of. We have the ability to filter out unwanted sounds and selectively listen to sounds that we want to hear. Even people with limited hearing are able to do this to varying degrees. When I bought mine I charged as required, then turned it on for the first time. It is actually doing a decent job at amplifying audio sounds of just about every type and kind from low, to high. The low tones are a bit weak, but the higher tones and sounds are amplified pretty well. When I turned it on I started to listen and could hear sounds that I have not heard in many, many years, much to my surprise... Yes, there is an audible hissing sound that is emitted by this assisted audio enhancement device. My interpretation to this, is that this device is nothing more than "Old-School" hearing aid electronics. Electronics that was created many years ago. It was just taken and modified so that it is rechargeable, something that most expensive $2000.00 hearing aids cannot do as yet. I found after only a few minutes, that my brain was starting to filter out the unwanted sounds and I was able to focus more on the sounds I wanted to hear. That's pretty cool. Now, the audible hissing noise is an annoyance to some people. But to somebody like me, it is actually an advantage and enhances the hearing in my right ear considerably. It is an advantage because my hearing is plagued by intensive and very invasive "Tinnitus," with a persistent and very loud ringing in both hears. This makes hearing sounds extremely difficult for me. The hissing sound actually works at suppressing the "Tinnitus" considerably and I am able to focus much more easily on the sounds that I want to hear. And although this is NOT the answer to a medical hearing aid, it IS, old school hearing aid technology. For people who cannot afford to buy a hearing aid I would suggest at least giving this a try. My hearing is very poor, with more than 68% gone in my left ear, and nearly 90% gone in my right side. I hear low notes exceptionally well in both ears, but the mid tones and high tones are nearly all gone. In short, I am more than 80% deaf. This device was a pleasant surprise to me and I for one am glad that it works as it does... Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Although they seem insightful and in fact, may be, I found them to be a bit lacking and even shortsighted. It was done in the span of only a few minutes of this short video and was not very thorough. I am willing to take this device and do a thorough test on it to see if my hearing is improved or not. So far, the results are pleasingly good.
bmweiss32@yahoo.com.where did you buy them/thank u I also have very bad hearing but cant aford hearing aids,also there are some pretty bad reviews on them.
My wife bought this for my father-in-law, but way-too-much hissing, distortion, and feedback (squealing). Probably more harmful than beneficial. It's going back to the store, period!
RE: JW's statement the everyone has the natural ability to filter sounds. Unfortunately, I am NOT one of the individuals. Some folks are born with this problem. Of course IF the condition is diagnosed when very young, there are therapies available today. They were NOT available 60 years ago.
I've tried various amplifiers with no real success. They all have that background hiss so the louder the volume the louder the hiss and they amplify all sounds, not just what you want to hear. So if you are trying to watch TV and the air conditioning or furnace kicks in that sound will be amplified as well so you can no longer hear the TV.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I recently tried a pair of active noise cancelling headphones and found that those kinds of sounds you mentioned are pretty effectively cancelled out by the active noise cancellation technology. They should be able to apply that to a sound amplifying device that is targeted to help hearing voices.
@@EpicReviewGuys Therefore, is there one that has a directional mic - one that I can point at the person talking? All these amplifiers seem to use an omnidirectional mic, which makes no sense does it?
thanks for the video. took about an hour to charge. not sure how long the charge will last. did not work well with the TV 10 feet away. I guess you get what you pay for. The echo was too much. I would not recommend this purchase
+Kathleen Bock Kathleen, hope you didn't let this review preclude or stop you from at least trying it. It is a shortsighted review and is NOT very thorough. A device or product cannot be honestly evaluated or reviewed in only a few minutes as this gentleman obviously believes. For what you pay, it actually does pretty well and is not dangerous to hearing if used properly. It amplifies sounds well. After some adjustment, I was able to hear and to select what I wanted to hear. There is a slight hissing noise, but to me that's an advantage because of annoying and very LOUD "Tinnitus" that makes a persistent ringing in both ears. The hissing actually cancels out the tinnitus, allowing me to hear sounds I haven't heard in years... I like it. If it lasts a month, I got my money's worth. If it lasts a year, I got more than my money's worth and is a good investment for me... I'm poor and cannot afford the $2800.00 price tag for a single hearing aid... I need 2 and will buy a second one next week.
Love this device 20 times than what the insurance had gave Me to much nose mote like static this 1 is just 1 hearing aid and the sounds are amazing even my grandmother loves it
It was supposed to say other room not brothers room. My other comment is that I feel you should’ve tried it out for a few days before doing your video for something like this.
This was not a very good review because you had it in your right ear and you couldn’t hear The TV out in your brothers room. You put it in your left ear turned your computer on you had both turned up on high and it was too loud. You should’ve kept it in the same ear at the same volume when you change from the TV in the other room to the computer right next to you. A lousy demonstration. My hearing isn’t the best and I have tried these and they’re great. Of course not as good as your expensive hearing aids but this is great when you don’t have the money to get the expensive hearing aids. These are also great for dementia patients that always miss place they’re hearing aids. You can replace them at such a low cost over and over again. It’s not worth buying the expensive ones for dementia people.
try turn down level 2 or 3 not can be not up to 4 and level 1 too low volume I never see that before that MSA 30x hearing aids not call to it call name of as seen TV HUH ? that not sound like of name ?? ok all right that that name MSA 30x hearing people help can hear that $19.99 :) make sure of ear size right that why :) can hear better even
Nice review. Flesh color? Currently depending on who you perceive as white in this country, white Americans make up about 63% of the total US population. You could possibly add another 10% to that number to fit in what is commonly considered "flesh color" but that still leaves a very large number of people that would not. Even a clear color would be more inclusive than what the rest of us have to continually be reminded that we are not accepted by the very small percentage that make up manufacturing products that claim to provide skin color products. It really wouldn't take that much effort and I suspect expense (if any) to add one or two additional colors. Even making so called flesh color products more of a spectrum of the color range would be more accepting than to suggest (again) that America is "white". Many will feel this is petty and not important. Maturity provides the wiser of us to be able to be step out of what we know to be able to be sympathetic to things that do not directly impact us as individuals. "It's important to others not like you".
The package may say that the device isn't for hearing impaired people, but with my 50% hearing loss in my right ear, it does help me hear better and more clearly.
my left ear is shot,mostly from loud exhaust on the race car and loud concerts too-im curious about whats gonna help me best for cheap
Me too
Lol if hearing was fine you wouldn't need

Have 4000$ one still can't hear ridiculous
I will try this for lectures as sometimes it is not easy to hear the speakers especially if you sit in the back of the room, especially in the conference rooms if the sound system is not good.
I have hearing issues when people talk to me in low tone I can't hardly hear them, but with this product I can hear them nice and clear.
I can't hear women & kids very well... maybe that's good?
So, it doesn't bother your ears compared to like this person demonstrated when he used the laptop?

you didnt say how long to charge for it to be fully charged, even on the packaging "charges half the time"....how long???
I believe his loud shirt made me deaf
: )
LOL I was going to type the same thing...good thing I checked first.
i think the shirt allowed more clarity than his review of the amplifier
Fixed that- thank you.

Wow this this actually hurt my ear instead. Wish I saw this video first. Thank you
Any solution so far? I was thinking about getting something like this for my grandpa. He's in his 80's and barely hears.
Your review was very helpful. I was going to buy one, but.......not now.
Thanks :-) !!
DragoBalboa hi, I just bought this one today and I like it, sure helps a lot!. hope this helps !.

It works fine, but my voice sounds extremely loud when I speak. So, I'll just use them to watch TV.
