TweakFocus+T OTC Hearing Aid Device With Programmed Listening Modes For Personal Sound Volume Control | With Personal Accessories Kit Included (Gray Single)

I have used a Tweak Focus for a year and a half. I have only moderate to light hearing loss, but I have trouble with voices in noisy environments, so I bought two. One gave up after a year. The other is still going well. I replaced the defective one with the Tweak Focus +. It was just as good, but it failed after only a short time. Same with its replacement. I was disappointed. I bought another product and found that its volume overwhelmed my ear.I like the two microphones. It can really help to block out noise behind me sometimes--not always. Volume controls are effective.I suppose that any hearing device takes some getting used to. That is the case for me, for sure. I will purchase another Tweak Focus for my better ear. Time will tell.I am glad that I have bought insurance for electronic devices.I looked for the Tweak Focus, but could only find the Tweak Focus +. I do not need the plus, but it is not a hassle. I am wondering if this device is soon to be discontinued totally. A shame.I said that the Tweak Focus is not of good quality because they have not all held up for me. Reviews that I read before purchase said the same.

I have a long history with hearing aids which led me to Tweak. I've been happy with Tweak for 5 years now. Twelve years ago an audiologist sold me my first hearing aids for $3500. In 4 years one of them stopped working and couldn't be fixed. So I went on Amazon and bought a Tweak for $325. Now I had $325 in one ear and $1750 in the other. The performance of both was equally good. Out of curiosity I bought another brand device for about $350 to replace the $1750 one. It worked well, too. What sold me on the Tweak was it's ability to quiet noise in the back and side of you and focus on the sound in front of you. Great for noisy restaurants. The Tweak has 2 microphones, one focused in front and one all around. You just turn off the all around ones and focus on the person you're speaking with in front of you. They allowed me 30-day trials. How could I lose?The size and shape of the cone in your ear makes a difference in how well you hear. Try the different ones that come in your sample pack. I believe the difference in price between Tweak "Personal Sound Amplifier" (PSA) and an audiologist's FDA approved "Hearing Aid" is not the technology but the cost of the audiologist and the approval process. If you have special hearing problems or need personal support, go with an audiologist. Otherwise test the PSA's yourself.

I purchased this amplifier after reading good reviews. I have mild hearing loss in one ear due to a virus, and had tried the expensive full service hearing aids, so I know how to care for them, and how they work. After trial and error over a few years, I discovered a more simple amplifer would work for my particular issue. Tweak fullfills their orders through Amazon directly. The first one I ordered was dirty and had obviously been used. Returned. Second one worked for about 3 weeks, and died. Returned again. Third one lasted about 2 months, and started having a high pitched electronic sound. Was not feedback, and nothing would make it stop. Returned. Never purchasing another Tweak product. They do not last, which must be why they only offer a 6 month warranty. They appeared to work fine when they did work. Just don't expect that to be for a significant time period.

Its not too bulky but not the smallest I have had. The sound is clear, crisp and under-standable for the most part but it does not amplify soft noises and does not rival with the hearing aid that I paid thousands of dollars. For this price range it is not bad.

Came quickly but would not funtion.

I purchased two of these separately. When the first one arrived it was not a Focus +T but a Tweak LITE. I returned that one and purchased an actual Tweak Focus + T. I have tried other brands and, so far, this one works best for me. The noise cancellation works well and I can hear my students fairly well. Few people notice I have it on unless I tell them. I will likely get another. The downside is that it has no on/off switch so you have to open the battery door to turn it off.
