Behind the Ear Sound Amplifier - BTE Hearing Ear Amplification Device and Digital Sound Enhancer PSAD for the Hard of Hearing, Noise Reducing Feature, Black, By MEDca

I'm giving these a 5 star because they are a great value for the price. But if these were the expensive programmed type that cost $1600 at Costco, I'd give them a maybe 2 stars.Cheap hearing aids leave a lot to be desired, but they have an important place for the hard of hearing who can't afford $1600 for even the 'cheap' Costco ones. I look at them like my Dollar Store reading glasses...I always keep several pair on hand, because I always lose them.Pros:If you put the rubber earpiece on as far as it will go, and remember to turn down the volume before putting them on, the aids don't whistle.Sturdy and they don't look at all like cheap pieces of junk, like the $57 (for one hearing aid) Britzgo I bought.They amplify sound well and have a variable volume control all the way from nothing to LOUD.They aren't huge and they are pretty unobtrusive.There are different size earbuds for different size ear canals.They are pretty comfortable (but do take a bit getting used to, build up a bit at a time until you can wear them all day).It’s easy to learn how to put them in, just needs a bit of practice at first.Cons:They are still bigger than my old Costco aids. (But I bet this would make them easier to handle for people with tremors)While they amplify sound well, they amplify ALL sound. I can hear all the background sounds just fine, but I still have problems hearing voices, because these can’t be programmed to match the sound frequency I need to have amplified.I don’t know where the decibel cut of is for the ‘noise reduction’ feature is…when someone yells, or the phone rings in my ear, it sure seems awful loud!The description of the aids say, ‘…unique noise reduction feature and digital circuitry and control which means you have total control over what you hear and what you don’t.’ This is kind of misleading because you only have control over how quiet or how loud the sound is, there is no ‘total’ control, not when we can’t filter out high or low sounds.Other items:I hope the price on these don’t go up too much more, I bought mine for $15.99 and a week or two later they are almost $20 (which is still an excellent price, especially for 2 of them). I assume I got them at an introductory price. By the way, I bought two sets of them, right off the bat, even though there weren’t any reviews yet, but I figured they couldn’t be any worse than the stupid Britzgo I bought and I was tired of going ‘huh?’ all the time.I don’t know anything about the battery life yet, I haven’t worn them long enough. EDIT 3/29/18: The battery life is pretty bad, I can get maybe a day and a half out of them. The battery just kind of runs out and I have to turn up the volume until I need to change out the battery. I'm still giving these a 5 star though, because over all, they are still a good deal for the price.Overall: I can hear a lot better with these aids than without them. They’re not perfect, but they sure are great for the price. Buy a few pairs of them, if you lose things like I do.

1. Three set of batteries dead in two days.2. No background noise reduction.3. Sounds like you are in a tunnel.

Bought them, just remember that the battery is a LR754, not LR44 as said, in the description. They pick up a lot of noise, and it is very hard to hear with them somewhat, they are very directional. They are what they are. Over all is a 3 star. Would of been better if they gave the right battery size in the description.

I ordered these for my Son while he was visiting me on vacation one year ago and his real hearing aids stopped working.. I ordered several different models that didn't work and finally,, these worked for him.. He ended up alternating between the two.. Now a year later he is here with me and still wearing and liking these Medca amplifiers, however the plastic has stretched and keeps hanging from his ear. I'm not complaining because at this price they have held up for a whole year. Just ordered and tried several others even by Medca because that were rechargeable and even more expensive but none worked.. It would be wonderful to have these exact same amplifiers that are rechargeable and I would gladly pay more because even the zinc batteries do not last for a whole day in these or the ones he uses for his expensive hearing aids .Bottom line is we just received the new ones and I highly recommend them because they work when the more expensive ones did not help my son to hear. I am hoping Medca will make these same amplifiers in a model that's rechargeable.

They work but not noise councling at all an there's a terrible echo

Use for hunting, sounds like air blowing not clear

Where's item ever. My grandma got it and she put it on and it didn't work. She tried with six batteries and nothing. I am very disappointed very very disappointed.

Cord too short--will not stay fixed behind ear. Does not filter out sharp excess excess noise. I have tried 4 different types & still use a behind the ear of the same design for 3 years.

Brilliant

Endlich wieder was hören kann man nur empfehlen

Bonne amplification

le son est très grave et pas agréable je suis déçus de cet achat et désirerai un échange ou un remboursement a vous de voir
