MEDca BTE Behind The Ear Sound Amplifier Super Mini Size Sound Enhancer

An ear test at work years back said I had a hearing lose around 1300 cycles. Even though this is a cheap model it does a great job for my problem. I do not recommend it to anyone with a serious problem as it will probably not do you much good. When some people talk and they are in the 1300 range I can not completely understand them. Women are the worst as they have a higher pitch. Pleas don't write me asking about this unit . For 10.00 it is worth the gamble.

Background noise is so loud, even at the lowest setting, that that's all that can be heard. Not worth buying.

I only have a mild hearing problem, and wanted something to help 'increase the volume'. At under $11, this seemed like a good way to 'start' to see if I could comfortably wear a hearing aid, and see if it would help. This is great!! Pros: It increases volume of all noise around you. That includes wind noises if you are in the car, and traffic, as well as voices. It doesn't distinguish between sounds at all. So imagine turning up your car radio or TV a couple of notches, that's how it works for me. It's all I need because as I age I find that I have to strain to make out words in a crowd, and often ask people to repeat what they said, which can be embarrassing. I can hear talking, but without a bit more volume, conversation often sounds garbled. This is perfect! It's pretty comfortable. I wouldn't wear this all day, but I could. I get annoyed wearing sunglasses for a few hours, as my ears are sensitive, and this is far more comfortable than wearing sunglasses which was a pleasant surprise. You can also hear with it turned off. There are 3 ear adapters to fit different ear sizes. I have a very small ear canal, so was delighted at how the smallest one fit. The price was amazing! Under $11 for a working hearing aid! I was thinking about going to Costco to get one, and the prices for the fanciest go up to $1000. I only needed a bit more volume, so this is perfect for me. It also gives me the opportunity to 'try out' how a hearing aid works, since I've never had one. Great deal! Cons: The directions for battery insertion stink. There's a diagram, but it's not very clear, and will take a few minutes to figure out. Not a big deal, but I can see why people might think it was dead on arrival if they insert the battery in wrong as I did at first. Battery life- I don't know how long it lasts, but like anything small with a battery, I would imagine not long if you keep it on at all times. Its easy to turn on and off, so once I figured out what volume I wanted to set it to (2 1/2 out of 6 for me, and my son helped me read the number behind my ear), I could just turn it on and off as I need. My husband tried it, and now he wants me to buy him one too. He doesn't really need a hearing aid, he thinks it would be great to have to hear conversations in other rooms! Lol.

This device does everything it claims to do which is the problem. It really does amplify sound. Everything is amplified to the point that it becomes confusing. I can even hear myself breath and chew. Yes, you can adjust the volume but that doesn't seem to work for me. No filter what so ever, which is probably what I need. This product does work, just not in the manner I'd hoped for.

This deserves 4+ stars for the fact that it really works VERY well. But the adjustment wheel is a little difficult for an older person to see and manage. That's just a slight difficulty - not sure that it could be any better on such a small device. However, although I gave this to my mother to use instead of her hearing aid, she doesn't tend to use this. Her hearing aid doesn't work very well and I thought this would be a good alternative for her, especially at home. She has Alzheimer's so that is part of the issue - she just can't remember she has it, and even then, can't remember how to put it in. I believe that an adult who has a good mental capacity would find this very useful. For this price, it is a very reasonable alternative to a hearing aid. As a previous home health nurse, I recommended this device and many patients just loved it.

You have to buy two packs if you want to hearing aid like devices and they're very bulky and as somebody else said the battery lasts about maybe 8 hours if you're actually have hearing loss like significant hearing loss don't try these get something better I mean they're good for a temporary fix for example I'm stuck without my hearing aids for two freaking weeks this is not going to be a good two weeks waiting for these things to come back but these are probably not going to be my solution seeing as as stated before they only last about 8 hours kind of even less than that it seems like I guess I see why they give you three batteries per device the only good thing is it helps you hear a little bit better not as good as the hearing aids though I need something like this though that will make it easier for me to hear in certain situations like social services social security office and the airports and trains because places like that like to cut off Bluetooth and then therefore you don't get to hear for the rest of that time that you're there so unfortunately these ain't the ones it was a waste of $24

ok then... i purchased this product for my 'former' mom-in-law after i visited her and was alarmed at how loud she had the tv volume just so she could hear it. so loud! anyway. to be perfectly honest with you, i wasn't expecting much from this item because of the price reduction it was being offered at. but ordering this was a fantastic decision on my part. to begin with, it arrived promptly (before the date expected), was very easy to load the battery in the slide-out (no tools needed), and to teach 'the elder' how to use was extremely easy. the amplifier comes in a hard plastic case (exactly as shown), with 2 additional batteries and 2 additional ear pieces. the volume control is easily accessible by the wearer, but i recommend adjusting the sound accordingly yourself by letting them wear it while you have the tv/radio playing at a 'normal sound level'. (there is a little 'feedback involved' while adjusting the volume, so i was careful not to have the 'amp' on high when i began adjusting the sounds...) the power switch is plainly marked on/off and is also easily accessible by the wearer. she absolutely loves the sound clarity the amplifier enhances. {the only drawback (as i am trying to be as truthful as i can be), is the device enhances the fan noise also that she normally has running while she watches tv.} but once she turned-off the fan, she could hear the tv perfectly... i will rate this product 10/10, and 'strongly recommend' to anyone who needs assistance in hearing. I also plan on purchasing a 2nd amplifier for a back-up spare... *thank-u for reading my review, and i hope it helps. g.

I do wear regular hearing aids but I was hoping for something that I would not be afraid of losing while fishing (had a bug fly in my ear & went to flick the bug out & my regular hearing aid went right out in the water with the bug) so I purchased these for some kind of help - realizing that these weren't to replace normal hearing aids but they were very uncomfortable to wear, had the setting down on 1 (the lowest) & everything was still so very loud - gave me a headache. At 1 point I leaned over to pick something up out of the boat & the Magnifier came right off my ear. Very disappointed that they cannot be returned for credit!

Works really well would recommend

Wahr alles super danke wahr alles okay Dankeschön

Muy buen producto que le viene perfecto a gente mayor con dificultad al escuchar

waardeloos ding,werkt niet goed.

Livré avec sa boîte où l'on y trouve des piles de rechange et plusieurs embout a oreille aux diamètres différents , ont peut aussi régler le volume et contient un interrupteur on off. Un peut difficile a placer la pile mais suffit juste de pas ouvrir complètement le compartiment afin qu'il se referme quand vous insérez la pile, ouvrez juste assez d'espace pour mettre celle-ci. Sinon fonctionne très bien et il est facile d'usage
