Personal Sound Amplifier Model SE5000 (PSAP), 50dB Gain, Hand Held Pocket Size Audio Amplifier with Headphones, EarBuds, Tactile On/Off Volume Control for Adults, Audiologists, and Seniors

My father is in his late 80's, has been profoundly deaf for years and has dementia. Hearing Aids have consistently failed my Dad in recent years and communicating has become incredibly hard, worsened by the Coronavirus distancing measures due to his various health conditions. Having had his hearing aids broken/lost during various visits to hospitals and care homes this year, what a treasure this little device is. I bought one, not expecting a great deal in view of my Dad's complete lack of hearing, and took it with me last Monday, I popped the headphones on him and all of a sudden we could have a conversation. I got my Dad back for a little while, well, an hour and a half. Not only was I over the moon with it, so was my Dad. It must have been the longest conversation he has had in years. He was completely made up with it and repeated several times how good it was. Have now bought another one for myself and both my brothers so when any of us visit we can chat with him. My only criticism is that, like so many things these days, it seems a little flimsy. I don't think my Dad will be able to operate it on his own albeit it is very simple, and the Care Home don't seem familiar with such devices so how long his will last I have no idea. I also took out the three year insurance for £5.95, just in case my fears are warranted. I bought the battery operated version, along with a rake of lithium batteries to leave with the Care Home.

This is an amazing little device. It may not be so helpful in a noisy environment, where it makes all noises louder, but if you just need to be able to hear the tv a little louder, without everyone complaining that the tv is too loud, or hear a conversation between a group of people in a relatively quiet location.My hearing has deteriorated all of a sudden, so it will be a little while before I can get proper hearing aids. This can help me right now. I used it in a meditation class, where I can't normally hear the guided meditation at all. With this device I could hear every word, and also the soft music playing in the background.It has it's limits, as it's not so great to walk around with, but I would highly recommend it for a quieter environment.

I don't often write reviews on products but i do feel compelled to write one in this instance. My Father-In-Law has extremely poor hearing and resides in a nursing home. We literally have to shout into his ears despite the fact he wears hearing aids. He misses out on conversations and just smiles. After a little digging I found an app on my phone and connected it to a pair of headphones and it seemed to work ok. He does not possess an iPhone so I thought there must be something made as an all in one solution. I came across the SuperEar, read a few reviews and thought I would give it a go. The device has totally transformed his quality of life. We can now have proper conversations with him. It can cause some high pitched whistles when it interferes with his existing hearing aids so I sometime remove them and just use the SuperEar. When I push him along a busy street with the car noise I clip the Superear on the back of the wheelchair and can talk to him normally. I think the only improvement I could suggest is maybe a slide on/off with that would visibly show if the device was on or off as you cant tell with the rotary wheel whether or not it has been left on. I have also purchased some large over ear earphones instead of the lightweight ones which come with it which makes it even better. Overall we are delighted with the product and hope this review helps.

Ok, so I bought this because I am going slightly deaf and conversations and TV can sound muffled. This certainly helps with the TV but also enhances every other sound and I do get static feedback which I can hear and so can others around me so no use in a public area - such as a theatre.. The belt clip is worse than useless to be honest. I don't like the head set and the ear plugs fall out easily (and are a bit big). So it is ok. Helps me with the TV but I need to find a better more comfortable solution to my problem.

Bought this for my 81yr old mum who has very poor hearing , won’t use hearing aids and is skeptical of ‘gadgets’. She has become even more lost during conversations because her eyesight is now failing so she can’t get by with reading lips.This was so simple to set up and as soon as she put on the headphones and turned the volume up , her face lit up. She could finally hear me talking at normal volume , without shouting , repeating myself and becoming frustrated 🥰. She even got me to stand further and further back as an experiment and lo and behold , she heard me speaking softly from a distance. One very delighted mum and daughter and I left her with her new SuperEar clipped to her waistband.Best £60 I’ve spent in a long time. Very happy with purchase

I use it to amplify the tv sound. It works fine and there's no problem with up other sounds or high pitched noises. Only drawback with this and all hearing amplifiers is that they pick up high pitched sounds or make the sound sharp and shrill. They could do with a base adjustment.The so-called directional microphone picks up whichever way I have it and I need it set to almost max as the tv is set low because my wife's super hearing.I would think for people speaking it would be very good because of earphones. I've only used it with it lying still on a small table. Don't know what it's like if you walk round.I've had a few of this type or similar ones but this one has been the best so far but a bit pricy for what you get.

I was a bit sceptical about this purchase but I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked at amplifying the sound . It says an improvement of over 50db which is quiet substantial. This makes a big difference . As I am nearly 70 my hearing has deteriorated a bit but this restored it really well. Now, when used it amplifies everything around you so , for example, if you are listening to a presentation speaker some distance away and somebody coughs near you as you listen to the speaker this cough will be loud. It’s not a directional microphone . But that said it does a very good job. I use a rechargeable AAA battery . It’s really light .
