Love it
For the price these work really well, Im super def in both my ear one worst then the other, but this gives me confidence in getting out there and being more social as I can hear people very well now. When walking or on the phone you might want to take them out your ear the wind sound will drive you crazy even though there is a volume thing on it, its still annoying. I will eventually invest in some more expensive ones but for now this will do.

You get what you pay for!
I should have know that these were not going to really work but I ordered them anyway. They are huge and heavy. I’m a man and are way too heavy to stay in or even fit in my ears. They will literally hang outside of you ear. The sound is ONLY being amplified! EVERYTHING is being amplified and like with regular hearing, sounds that are close to you are going to be heard better than sounds further away. Example, if your at your desk typing, you are definitely going to hear your keyboard much louder than a voice across a basic size room or office, my office is 12’ x 12’ and I don’t hear a person 10 feet away say getter than I could without these. I can hear my keyboard louder than I can without these, if I could get them to stop falling out of my ears. I would not buy again nor would I recommend.

Do exactly as the name suggests - they amplify sounds.
I currently use, and am dependent upon, very expensive, multi level, digital hearing aids and my reason for buying these bottom dollar hearing amplifiers was to have an emergency backup. Right out of the box one of the amplifiers did not work but I have used the other one for a couple of hours. As has been previously reviewed these amplifiers do exactly what their name suggests, it will amplify ALL sounds. It this is what you need then a working pair will do the trick for you. But, if you are like me and need help in discriminating speech ... not so good. At first the startling, hollow sound of your own voice is alarming but you can adapt to that. This product, as expected, fails when compared with my more expensive digital, programmable hearing aids. I gave this product three stars because it does amplify sounds, the three different sizes of ear pieces provided give you a chance to have a proper fit and the cost is minimal. Of course the cost would be even less if both devices worked. Due to the cost of return shipping I will not bother with returning the faulty amplifier.

Worked well, but...
Got these for my mom who is in a nursing home. She has a roommate & they both are in their room a lot during the day watching their separate tvs. They tend to inch up the volume on their sets during the day trying to hear their own tv shows over top of whatever the other person is watching. We thought this was something that could help my mom watch her tv in peace without having to turn the volume up so high. We knew she wouldn't be a fan of more expensive brands with headphones so the in-ear plugs seemed perfect. Unfortunately, these are not directional in that you can't just increase the volume for one thing. Everything was amplified instead, including the noises out in the hallway, so this didn't help her particular situation. However, I'm giving them 4 stars because in a different setting where there isn't so much background noise to contend with they would work great, especially for the price! I wouldn't recommend them in noisier settings, though, unless you want EVERYTHING to be louder.

Fitment
I like the fitment of the product. I've tried Bluetooth and hearing aid amplifiers. They eventually work their way out. This one stays out and gives continued should quality after hours.

Didn't Work for Me
The reviews on these are excellent, so I purchased them. First thing I noticed is that the cushions shown in the picture didn't come with my purchase. The amplifiers are easy to assemble (insert included batteries, attach cushion). Unfortunately they don't work for me; my hearing loss obviously needs something that has a clearer sound than these amplifiers. In my ears, the pieces cause an unbearable high pitched squeaking noise. Turning down the volume makes a sound as if I'm at the bottom of a tin tub. Since I need bi-lateral hearing aids, I'll just have to purchase a miracle for my ears. The price of these amplifiers wasn't too bad, so instead of returning them, I'll keep them in case they can benefit a family member or close friend.

POORLY DESIGNED AND A WASTE OF MONEY
First, the ear amplifiers came in a hard to open plastic case that did not open when I followed directions to "push and pull". It took a small pen knife to pry the case lid open (Imagine doing that each time you reached for and returned the ear amplifiers.!!) Second, the ear amplifiers have multiple design flaws that affect usability; 1) the raised design for the volume dial is too tiny and not raised enough for arthritic adult finger pads to turn the dial. 2) tiny "antennas" visible on the ear amplifier in the ad intended to make inserting and removing the ear amplifiers from the external ear canal are missing from the pair sent to me. 3) the ear amplifiers are not shaped or sized to fit inside the external ear canal. Rather, only the clear plastic tips of the ear amplifiers fit inside the eternal ear canal. ALL the black portion of the BLACK ear amplifiers (larger than your thumb nail) fill and protrude outside the external ear canal because they are bigger and have contours different than the external ear canal. They look like BIG BLACK BUGS sitting outside your ear. It would be impossible to hold a telephone receiver to your ears while wearing them. Unless you need a pair of black ear plugs to prevent water getting in your ears while showering, these ear amplifiers are a WASTE OF MONEY.
