Mighty Loud Ear 120dB Personal Sound Hearing Amplifier

This is not hearing aids . But it definitely works like tjen.

I got one of these for my 80 year old mother, who has Alzheimer's and is almost completely deaf. Before we got it, we had to get next to her ear and almost yell for her to understand what we were saying. So you can imagine how frustrating it is to be across the room and try to convey important things to her. To make matters worse, she'd watch TV with the volume cranked to the maximum, both making it uncomfortable for everyone, as well as blowing out the speakers.After we got one of these, things got so much better. We could engage in conversation with her and she'd understand, instead of smiling and nodding without knowing what was said (so frustrating). She can watch TV at a sane volume level. I showed her how to put the microphone against the earpiece of the telephone so she can talk to people, where before she shied away from picking up. It really made a huge difference to her quality of life.Back in October 2023, she fell and broke her hip, which was pretty traumatic for her. She spent a week in the hospital, and nearly a month in a rehab facility till she could get back on her feet. Having the amplifier with her made life easier for all the nurses that tended to her, and a couple of them wanted to know the model of the amplifier so they could recommend it for other patents with hearing loss.So as to what could be better with this amplifier, the volume control wheel needs a better means of shutting it off. It doesn't stay off. You can turn it off, the red light goes off, and as soon as you set it down, the light will be on again. Devices with more than 3 buttons are no good for my mom, it's too "techy" for her, so this device is brutally simple, but the on/off needs to be more reliable. Another thing is the clip on the back needs to be a little tougher. Mom would clip this to her shirt, to her pants, to whatever she needs, and often that puts a lot of pressure on the clip, and eventually it broke off. Plastic probably isn't the best choice for this, and a metal clip would make it a little more rugged.On another note, I'd suggest buying a cheap pair of headphones that cover the entire ear and have the capability to plug in a 3mm male to male cable to them and the amplifier. It does help with the audio quality, and is more comfortable as well, especially if you or that certain someone you care for doesn't like ear buds or other in the ear kind of headphones.It's not perfect, but when it works, it works perfectly. It just has a few quirks that can be worked out if the company that makes it wants to do a new version of this. It can change the quality of life of an elderly loved one, and it can change the quality of life of those around them too!

My husband likes this product

It is plenty loud. It picks up even movement sound inside my pocket. Most irritating thing is the second ear-bud does not fit. Easy to assemble other wise. Helps in both ears. The bud will fit in backwards which is a workaround until I get my beats earbuds made by Beats productions. On big caveat. The wires have to be pull into two pieces so the buds will reach my ear. This is a concern as to shorting problems. Made in China.

I tried to use this for deer hunting. It was a bad ideal when I put it in my ear, I was annoyed with all of the sounds that was in my ear at the same time. I couldn't hear the small noises because of the louder noises-such as cars and other things.

This unit did amplify voices, but also amplified ambient noise so much as to make it difficult to hear the voices through the noise. Tested in a very quiet room where there was minimal or no audible ambient noise without the device.

If I had ordered this 1.5 years ago I would have saved thousands of dollars. To put it simple this device amplifies clearly with no annoying squeal and to a level that is comfortable. It is important to get earphones and or ear bud replacements that fit your ears correctly and are comfortable. The AAA batteries seem to last forever, especially compared to the button batteries used in the in ear amplifiers. At age 82 I finally found a device that allows me to easily hear again. I like it so much I have bought another for backup. The old adage of KISS applies 100% to this product.

This was bought for use by my 93 year old dad who does not wear hearing aids. He uses it when he goes to church. He is pleased with the way it works, he can hear and understand whoever is speaking during the church service.
