High-Performance Hearing Aids for Seniors, OTC Rechargeable Hearing Aid for People with Severe Hearing Loss with Intelligent Noise Reduction (Pair), 4 Modes - Comfortable Hearing Aid devices for elderly, Over The Counter Hearing Aids

My history with hearing aids began 30 years ago with $5,000 tiny in-ear custom molded and fit by an audiologist hearing aids. They were fabulous until I destroyed one in my garbage disposal by accident (don’t ask). Then I decided to try the less expensive $250 over the ear clunky hearing amplifiers and, while I had to let my hair grow a bit to hide them, they worked almost as well as the expensive ones. They used the replaceable #13 batteries and I liked that much better than the rechargeable devices because I always had extra batteries with me. If a rechargeable ran out of power, I was in a fix. In today’s world, it is nearly impossible to find aids with replaceable batteries so I decided to try the rechargeable. Note that I paid $69 for this order and I received 2 LEFT ear hearing amplifiers. That was fine for me because I am completely deaf in my right ear so now I have a back up. I noticed that the price on the pink ones I ordered was increased immediately after I placed my order. I’ve only worn these for 2 days so I will return to edit my review after I’ve worn them longer. I will mention that the tubing is very short which is perfect for me because I usually need to trim the tubing but for a wearer that needs a longer tubing, you may have to buy that separately. I love the pink color so I can tell which ones are my newest since all my others are the basic flesh color. I am not crazy about the direct charging plugged into the bottom of the aids in fear of cracking the aid when inserting it. I prefer to have a case that charges the aids. I really cannot tell a huge difference in the Mode levels except the first and the last which are distinctly different and useful in a noisy restaurant or crowd. Is it worth the money? Yes. Are there better ones available? Sure. But, for the price, these are adequate and help tremendously. Follow up: I’ve been wearing these for 10 days now and I am blown away with the amount of amplification and clarity of sound. They are comfortable and I love that they have an on/off switch to preserve the battery. I have increased my review from 4 stars to 5⭐️ stars! Well deserved.

The hearing aids work good.

UPDATE: These hearing amplifiers only lasted a year, and I paid SIXTY DOLLARS for them on Amazon. You can get them for $18 on Temu. Let me first say that these are HEARING AMPLIFIERS. They are not hearing aids. They have some noise cancelation, but it is not the best. Their volume is incredibly good. They amplify everything, and it can be a little disorientating for my father. My fathers hearing was getting so bad that we literally had to shout in his face for him to hear us. He was getting upset, and depressed, that he couldn't hear. The television was always blaringly loud on 50 - 80 volume, and he still couldn't make out normal conversation. Sadly, we are a low income family with Free Healthcare from Affordable Healthcare Act. They do not cover hearing aids, so we would have had to pay over $3000 for a pair of them for my father. Knowing this, I purchased this amplifiers due to how good their reviews were, and I was not disappointed. Now my father can hear us speaking to him in a normal voice, he can talk on the phone, listen to the tv at low volume, and even hear us talking in another room. However, they AMPLIFY EVERYTHING. Every little sound, plates hitting the table, the dog barking, crumpling up paper, et cetera. So they take some getting used to. He takes them out while washing the dishes, or doing loud things like vacuuming or mowing the lawn. But otherwise, he loves and enjoys them, and I would buy them again if they broke or got lost. Their noise cancelation of background sounds could be better. But that's something that has to advance with technology over time.

I have a pretty severe hearing loss. I bought these while my aids were being repaired. These will wake up the dead! Be very careful to turn on AFTER they’re in your ear at the lowest setting. If you put them in while they are turned on the squeal will deafen you and you’ll never by a quality aid after that experience. If you follow this advice you will hear more , but there is no comparison to a real hearing aid. I noticed others had similar complaints. If you’re snoopy you might like them to eavesdrop drop because they are powerful.😀 Start with a less powerful hearing. Save up $1400 for quality hearing aids and then join Costco for $65. They have top quality aids and testing devices. After you buy them you can Just go in later and they help you on the spot if you are having trouble. They are much better, cheaper, friendly, and helpful then the audiologists I used to go to that always ripped me off.

I’ve gone through seven devices; hearing aids, amplifiers and a Bose Hearphone set. They all started diminishing in capability as my hearing worsened. I’m now at 90% loss in the left and 75+% in my right ear. Took a chance on these and it lived up to the “for profound hearing loss” capability! They were fully powered out of the box and ready for self-fit. There is plenty of volume for my level of hearing and that’s at the lowest two levels of four. There is also four levels of background noise suppression that do work in everyday environments. However, my biggest problem is tonal loss in the spoken range. No amount of amplifying will compensate for that. If this device had tone adjustments I might have rated higher and felt like part of the crowd again! Overall, it’s a solid set of over the ear devices that will get the job done in most real world environments. One thing I did notice was in noisy places like restaurants and indoor spacious places, the background noises can be quieted down but there might be a small loss of being able to hear voices in front. But at home, it’s a different story…this is where they really shine! Carpeting, furniture etc., absorb background noises which makes it easy to understand people talking or the tv. BTW: the charge lasts a fairly long time and everything is included to keep them functional and operating! The price is the best value, by far, of any device I’ve had before!
