4.0 out of 5 stars Amplifies significantly, March 21, 2009

I wear two hearing. My son works at night so we must keep the television low as not to disturb him. My wife can hear the television at a low volume, however I have a problem picking up all the words and sounds. I purchased the Sonic Super Ear Sound Amplifier and it significantly increases the volume of the television. The only downside is that it is very sensitive to sound. You must keep the microphone very still or you will get loud scratching sounds that hurt the ears. What I do is set the sound volume then place the microphone next to me on the sofa and do not touch it unless I have to. The amplifier also picks of all the sounds around you. If there is a conversation in another room the amplifier picks it up and it could be a bit disturbing while I am watching television. It is also a bit harsh if someone is talking directly to you. That said, I think that it is a useful tool for anyone who wants to listen to television or radio without disturbing anyone. I guess if you are really hard of hearing the unit should help you hear conversations without a problem. I recommend the product to anyone whether you have a hearing problem or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works GREAT, March 13, 2009

I bought the Sonic Super Ear for my husband, who listens to the T.V. so loud that it gives me a headache and send the pets running! He said that he was able to hear every word of the movie we watched last night, and I had the movie at a volume set for me. The down side is that when I would talk to him, he'd wince and tell me 'not so loud'! It does amplify EVERYTHING. And then there are the wires to deal with....

He said he thinks it's great, all in all we're happy to have it.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of money, July 8, 2009

I bought this to watch TV at a volume that wouldn't disturb other people. Maybe I misread the ads but it does not work in this capacity. It amplifies whatever sound is in the room even breathing, but not the TV. I actually couldn't hear the TV unless I turned the sound up as high as usual. The headphones have a short cord and I couldn't move it closer to the TV to see if that actually helped and they are not comfortable. It has a lot of feedback at times too1 It was a complete waste of money. I live in a remote are of Alaska and it is too expensive to ship back so it is in the box in my closet. Advise people to read specs on another hearing amlifier.
