Hearing Aids for Seniors, HealthTree Digital Personal Sound Amplification with Noise Cancelling and 10 levels of volume Control, Rechargeable Hearing Aid for Hearing Loss, For Two Ear

I purchased these HealthTree Digital Personal Sound Amplification hearing aids for my elderly relative, and they have made a remarkable difference in their ability to hear clearly again. The noise reduction feature works exceptionally well, allowing them to focus on conversations even in noisy environments. The rechargeable mode is a big plus, as it eliminates the need for constantly changing batteries. A full charge lasts for about 100 hours, which is impressive. The one-button power on/off and the 10 levels of volume control make these hearing aids incredibly easy to use, even for someone not familiar with technology. The compact and lightweight design of these hearing aids makes them easy to carry around. The clip design on the back is especially convenient, allowing them to be securely fastened to a pocket or backpack strap.

These gadgets are not only lightweight but also small, which makes them easy to wear for long periods of time. In spite of the fact that he was originally hesitant about wearing hearing aids, my father discovered that they were simple to put on and that they did not cause him any pain during the day. When it comes to ensuring that they remain secure without causing discomfort, I believe that ergonomic design plays a significant role. The hearing aids in question are equipped with digital noise-cancelling technology, which is one of their most notable characteristics. For older citizens, who often battle with interference from background noise, I believe that this function is really necessary. Whether he was in a quiet room or a noisy area, my father observed an instant increase in the clarity of talk. This was true regardless of the surroundings. His ability to properly filter out undesirable noises is made possible by the noise-cancelling function, which enables him to concentrate on what is genuinely important.

I really like the idea behind this device. One of the issues with hearing aids is that you cannot hear well in noisy rooms. You could just set this device on the table in front of you and it would allow you to hear everyone talking. It's easy to set up, just plug it in with a USB C cord and charge it, light goes off and it's ready. Plug in the earpieces (different sizes included) Make sure you can get the piece fully in each ear. Long push the big button to turn it on and adjust the sound with the smaller button on the side. It also comes with a lanyard. The drawbacks of this device include the fact that the microphone is right next to the lanyard and anytime you move, you get noise from that. The ear pieces are plugged in to the USB port, so you would need an adapter to use any other earphones. Every move you make is picked up by the microphone, so the device must be set someplace where it does not move and is not touched by anything like clothing. It clearly picks up the noise of fans and air movement. I tried several different types of audio, and it was very mixed. Sometimes you couldn't understand anything, others were clear, voices sometimes came over and others not very well. If you need something for very quiet areas to talk to limited people, it could work well.

When the amplification is working well and picking up the voices in conversation I’m listening to, it’s decent - pretty clear and loud - but only in one ear. Other times, it garbles sound - kicking in and out or vacillating between ears, which is particularly hard to hear, because one side of the headphones doesn’t work properly; it’s “on” about 10% of the time. The tone is a bit tinny and my own voice is like a boom because the speaker is closer to me than others. I tried watching tv with these headphones and hear the speakers better without these amplifiers. The unit is tiny and headphones come with 3 different size covers/earbuds. Unfortunately, the sound from one ear on my unit isn’t working, but I imagine if both earbuds produced equal sound, these could be a decent inexpensive way to amplify the sound.

**Editing to add that I was only able to use this device one time. It no longer charges or shows any function and it has not been dropped or submerged or anything. I tried to use it in a doctor's appointment and wound up leaving it in the car because it had nothing. It's a shame, because I preferred this one over the other one.** This is the second hearing device I have tried from Amazon. I can see good and not so good with both items. The good on this one is that I don’t have the typical over the ear form but only an ear bud. This is a huge plus for me because with the other one, if I had my glasses on as well, it was a battle to keep both items on at the same time. The not so good is this has cords and a small device and I can imagine many people will assume it is a form of music player. However, it can be explained if necessary and the main body has a secure clip to put onto a shirt or pocket. I have noticed that there’s almost a feeling of listening down a tunnel, but there is none of the static I was getting with the other one. Also, I can hear a lot of noises that I just wasn’t catching before even with the other item.
