2.0 out of 5 stars Not the Best Choice, February 12, 2009
By Kingston (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bell & Howell Silver Sonic XL, Personal Sound Amplifier 1 ea
A while back I bought a hearing aid from Beltone for around $900. Later I bought the Secret Stealth and the Silver Sonic XL. All 3 devices have a lot of ambient noise background (wind, fans, traffic noises, feet on the floor, etc.)

The only one I found that does not have a lot of ambient noise amplification (in addition to the desired sound amplification) is called Loud 'N Clear. It's unfortunately not available via Amazon but it works just great. It can be had for around $25. It's not rechargeable like Stealth, but the batteries are inexpensive (312 hearing aid batteries) and they last a long time.

FDA approved hearing aids, like the one I got from Beltone, are a bit of a racket. The manufacturing costs are no more than the $25-40 devices like Stealth or Loud 'N Clear, but because of the FDA label, manufacturers jack up the price a thousand fold.

Try one of these cheaper devices before buying an actual hearing aid. There is really no difference in performance--only price.

1.0 out of 5 stars don't waste your money, January 31, 2009
This review is from: Bell & Howell Silver Sonic XL, Personal Sound Amplifier 1 ea
This is a real piece of junk,all I could hear was a bunch of static and buzzing,I am returning it as many others will also be doing. If you think about it most of that seen on tv stuff is mostly junk.It even felt cheap like something you would get out of a box of cracker jacks.

1.0 out of 5 stars shoulda' known, January 8, 2009
By Kathy M. Stuart (South TX, UAA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bell & Howell Silver Sonic XL, Personal Sound Amplifier 1 ea
Bought this unit for my 82 year old Pop. Worked great for him for two days and then crapped out, just didn't work at all. We changed the battereis, took it apart to check connections and switch, even banged it on the counter a few times. Nada. Oh well, shoulda' known. The problem is that Pop really loved the little bug. Now we will have to find something to replace it.
