About ten years ago I bought one of those sound amplifiers off the telly. It squealed every time I turned my head near my collar and it put me off the whole idea. My son talked me into trying again. These are a different thing altogether. No squeal, since January not once. And it's not just louder, it's clearer. The old one made everything bigger including the fridge and the traffic. These leave the background alone and bring the voices up.

Less than what they wanted for one ear
Howard W. · Verified purchase, 🇮🇪 Ireland ·
I got quoted for the pair privately and when I said no they came back with a price for just the worse ear as a compromise. This pair cost less than that one-ear price even after the grant. Been wearing them since March and I haven't thought about the money once.

For my mother

She has been on her own since dad died and half the problem was she could not follow anyone on the phone, so she stopped ringing people. She rings people now.

Updating my review

UPDATE, upping this to five stars. Took me longer than most to settle in and I was a bit harsh first time round.

In at seven in the morning, out at nine at night, and I have never once taken them out early because they were bothering me.

Cheap enough to try, good enough to keep. I was expecting to pay a lot more for something this good...

Telly has come right down
Pat K. · Verified purchase, 🇮🇪 Ireland ·
My husband had the telly on 38. I'm not exaggerating, I checked it. The people next door could hear the match. He's been wearing these since May and it's on about 14 now, which is where I have it when I'm on my own. He hasn't said anything about it and I haven't made a thing of it. He says he can't feel them in. The only thing is he has to remember to charge them or there's nothing in them the next morning, but he does it with the phone so it's been grand.

Phone calls are the big difference
rita h. · Verified purchase, 🇮🇪 Ireland ·
Face to face I was managing because you get very good at watching mouths without realising you're doing it. The phone is different because you've nothing to go on. I'd got to the stage of texting people I'd normally have rung, including my own brother. I rang him last week and we talked for about forty minutes and I didn't have to ask him to repeat anything.
