1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible - lowest rating., July 29, 2007

My wife bought me one of these in an attempt to help me hear the TV better. All it did was make a loud whooshing background noise through the earbuds - no noticable amplification. Also, the TV sound had an echo as if I was inside a huge metal drum, but no louder than my normal hearing. My thoughtful wife is taking it back for a refund.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible!, June 14, 2007

If I could rate it 0 stars I would. I bought this for my wife who has trouble hearing the TV. Or rather, I have trouble when she turns it up loud enough to hear.

We tried the device out - the sound was horrible and didn't amplify it at all. I just threw it away because it was so inexpensive, and returning to the store would have been a big hassle.

1.0 out of 5 stars Is "As seen on TV" a warning label?, November 28, 2007

By 

Heather Bloom "Loki in Chaos" (Archer, FL) - See all my reviews

Why do I have to give this a star, when it deserves frownie faces?

Imagine, if you will, this product, sitting on the wide arm of a couch. I turn it on and can only hear a ceiling fan. I crank the volume to 6 (there is no 11, much less a 7-10). I have no trouble hearing the computer fan in the other room and the low hum multiple of receivers in the living room. I can even hear the Rotties half a mile down the road gearing up for their nightly bark-fest. Meanwhile, in the far far BACKGROUND I can hear the TV.

Then I'm startled by a very loud "thud" followed by slightly softer thuds, and an odd breathing noise. It's my 4 pound cat, who just jumped to the arm of the couch, walked along the edge and sat on unit. Now I get to listen as her fur rubs against the unit.

I wish I could refund the damn thing. You can hit a dollar store for the ear buds it came with and buy a few boxes of earplugs or cotton balls for the person who needs it not as loud.
