Premium Compact In-Ear Digital Sound Enhancer - Near-Invisible Noise-Reducing Audio Amplification Device for Clear Sound in Any Environment - Left Ear (Black)

I bought this as a backup for my NHS aid but use this more now. comes with a selection of ear buds find the right one and it just stays put without becoming uncomfortable. I sometimes forget i've got it in and a battery lats me about a week. also has noise cutout to prevent sudden load noises been amplified. The only drawback is it picks up keys jangling and pens clicking etc... very loudly. I would recommend and have even bought spares they're so good.

Completely unreliable and a waste of money. Wouldn't even take a chance and ask for a replacement. Fiddly and with the least head movement it just goes dead. It would seem that the battery fits loosely in the specified holder because one has to keep tapping it to try to get it to resume functioning. Unfortunately I ordered a large number of A10 batteries which I no longer require and tried many of them, allowing the proper 1 minute after removing the seal before inserting, to see if it was the original batteries at fault, which has added to the expenditure. An unfortunate purchase.

I'm partially deaf in my leaf ear and already own a professionally fitted IIC hearing aid which is completely invisible. I bought this hearing "amplifier" partly to have as a spare at home and was also curious to see how this would compare to my current hearing aid given how much cheaper it is. For example, when I need to replace my hearing aid would this suffice instead?Firstly, there is quite a lot of whistling when inserting or removing this hearing amplifier as others have remarked on. This I can live with. Sometimes you can get this same noise when just moving your jaw, moving your hand close to your ear etc. but found this feedback can be reduced a lot by using one of the different sized ear domes provided. The best seal in the ear provides the least amount of feedback but also can give the feeling of your ear being blocked (imagine the sensation in your ears as you are going up in an aeroplane) You quickly get used to this though.As others have pointed out this amplifier does amplify everything so voices, crisp packets, puting away cutlery etc. I would say this is one of the biggest differences between this amplifier and my existing hearing aid in that the hearing aid has a chip and some clever software that will amplify voices but keep other background noises at a more comfortable/natural level. I think in particularly noise environments this is where the amplifier may be limited in its use as it would be too overpowering. I also found that I occasionally got some distortion on very loud noises although this can obviously be mitigated against by reducing the volume.I like the fact this has a volume control. OK, it is a bit fiddly to change but I quite like that so I am not going to be able to easily change it accidentally when I'm putting the device in my ear or removing it. It takes the same size 10 batteries as my existing hearing aid and you can usually get around a years supply for no more than £10So, how does it compare to my existing hearing aid? Well, for outdoor activities and noisy environments I'll stick to my existing hearing aid as I think it is better suited for this. I also still like that it is completely invisible. However indoors I think I actually prefer this one. I have the volume turned up quite high, higher than it is set for my hearing aid, so I find I can hear slightly better. Note, the volume was already preset to highest level on my existing hearing aid and I cannot change it.I think it also worth mentioning that this "amplifier" is £50 (what I paid for it) where as my hearing aid was almost £1100 and this was just for a middle of the range model. Ok, my hearing aid is invisible (IIC) but the same size (CIC) would still have been the same price. I think my hearing aid is better overall but I don't think it is £1050 better but then I've always felt hearing aids are way too expensive so glad to see these types of devices coming onto the market that can "almost" do as good a job for a fraction of the price

They are comfortable. You can’t see them. They work. But there’s always a noise , like a kettle boiling or like you’re stood next to a choppy sea in the background.It interferes too much for me. But,They do work perfectly. Worth the money.

I really do like this hearing aid can you please tell me were I can buy these very small batteries

I have used many hearing aids priced from £15 up to £3000 with varying degrees of success. Some of the cheaper ones work for a short while before dying but these don't even try to pretend to work. Uncomfortable, tinny and, as often as not, silence. They just don't work; a complete waste of money.

I’m sure that the product is fine but I just couldn’t get on with it.

Added a new dimension to my work life. The minute I put it in my ear it made me smile. At last I don’t only hear every third word. Good value for money
