How hard is it to make a transistor amplifier?
Apparently it's beyond B&H. The microphone
B&H chose for the input is sooo short range
that the only sound amplified was my breathing,
and the occasional sound of my hand/arm touching
the unit.
At only 10 feet from the TV at 'normal volume',
I heard the TV better without this device than
with it.
I returned it immediately to the vendor for credit.
If only it met my 'hard of hearing' mother's need... sigh.

Amplifies EVERYTHING!!! Means even the cable as it swishes against your clothing or when cable touches your face.

Audio not clear, sounds like listening through jar.

Regarding Sonic Earz Personal Sound Amplifier By Bell and Howell, please don't waste your money. I have never had a problem with any products or books I've purchased through Amazon. The only thing this product did was amplify noise from the sound from brushing against clothing. After reading some of the positive reviews for this product, I even tested out the product to better hear the birds. That is something I had no intention of using it for, but since that worked for someone, I gave it a try. No,no sound. I could hear the birds without using this product, but couldn't hear the birds with it. Honestly, this product doesn't work at all. Possibly, I received a used or damaged item. I purchased a new item. However, I'm not sure if it wasn't used. The plastic package that usually is hard to open, even with scissors; I could easily open it just by pulling it apart. The earplugs are marked "L" and "R". Well, no sound at all from the "R" plug. Didn't matter since the product doesn't work. Since this product can't be returned, PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT. Chances are some work (per the positive reviews); however, since some do not work (per bad reviews), it is not worth the chance that you may get a damaged product like I did. Even, if the product could be returned (I did call and ask and know it can't be returned. understandable since earplugs are part of the package), it wouldn't be worth it considering what I paid originally for shipping and adding my shipping cost. Another thing regarding shipping charge for this product, double the price I usually pay for such a light-weight item. Complete waste of money.
