After both of my hearing aids were damaged beyond repair, I could not afford new ones. I needed something so that I could continue to work. I bought these to use in the interim of getting new digital aids. After carefully reading others' reviews, I was ready for anything.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well they worked! They are slightly uncomfortable (especially compared to my personally-molded hearing aids) but more than worth the price! They do amplify ALL sound and cannot "cancel out" ambient noise like digital hearing aids can. But they work beautifully for me!

Word to the wise: these are AMPLIFIERS, not hearing aids. My husband wanted to try it on and was quite surprised at the difference in sound through the amplifier. It sounds the same as my first experience with an aid; it seems as if everything you're hearing is coming through a microphone.

I thought I'd try this for my dad as a first step to hearing loss solutions. It was less than $20. Unfortunately, I held it for him as a gift too long too return to the seller. It never worked. I checked the batteries on a voltmeter they were fine. After this, I tried to fix it myself - I don't recommend it. I think the next cheapest alternative is about $75 on ebay. Good luck - avoid this, unless you're prepared to return yours if it's a dud.

I bought this for my 89 year old mother. Although it did work, the battery lasted only a few hours. This was not the bad part, it continually fell out of her ear. For 2 weeks I tried every way to put it in but it never stayed in. I returned the product and still have not gotten a refund months later.

It did amplify sound, though it was uncomfortable and the color matching normal skin tones was awful. But what can you expect for such a low price? Worth the money but understand you get what you pay for!

Bought this hearing amplifier for my 98 year old mother who has trouble hearing the last year. I thought this might be a simple aid for her to use. I tried it first and it does not work. It just makes a amplifier type hum in my ear. It was inexpensive so I thought it might be worth a try.

This stuff just doesn't work! I got this for my dad to try after seeing it advertised everywhere (tv, fliers inserts). My dad has fine hearing but wanted to be able to 'boost' sound for tv, phone conversations, etc. For $16 you get the ear piece with spare batteries and brush. I tried it on myself to see how well it works.. no surprise, it doesn't. It has crappy construction and is very inconsistent. You do hear amplified sound from your surroundings but in a muffled kind of way (kind of like when you plug your ears and hear yourself talk). The volume dial doesn't always work, sometimes it turns volume up, but other times nothing happens. Occasionally meddling with the dial produces a sharp, high pitch sound which cannot be good for your hearing. This looks more like a toy than a real hearing aid, but what do you expect at this price. Still I didn't expect the product to be harmful to your ears. Even with a refund, I'm still out the s/h fee. This stuff can be hazardous and should really be banned!

Purchased this for my 82 year old husband. He has an expensive hearing aid that he hates and says is awkward to use, so he never wears it.

This little gadget actually works! He says it is comfortable, easy to wear, and now he can hear the TV and what people are saying.

Definitely worth the money to give it a try, plus it comes with extra batteries, too.

Batters don't last and it was difficult operating the battery holder the tab of which soon broke off. I would buy another one if the battery holder was improved.

I have profound hearing loss in my left ear. The product is very effective at improving hearing. It amplifies sound but does not discriminate sounds so everything is amplified. When driving the various car noises sound like a storm, however, when watch TV it is a perfect solution for me. The one big down side is that it really does not fit very well and always seems like it is ready to fall out. This is not something to wear all day long but for speciific things you want to do and hear it does work well.

I am returning mine today - does not work at all. I had the volume on HIGH and still didn't make any difference - just a hissing sound.
