SuperEar Personal Sound Amplifier Model SE5000 (PSAP), 50dB Gain, Hand Held Pocket Size Audio Amplifier with Headphones, EarBuds, Tactile On/Off Volume Control for Adults, Audiologists, and Seniors

Imagine sitting across the dinner table from your loved one, desperately trying to communicate, only to be met with blank stares and frustrated sighs. This was the reality for my family until we discovered the SuperEar. For about ten years now, my 94-year-old mother has had difficulty hearing. It started out as a minor problem and morphed into something bigger. Until about two months ago, it had gotten so bad that my brother and I were unable to converse much with her at all. Traditional (and expensive) hearing aids didn’t seem to work. It was frustrating for my mother and for us. To communicate with her at all, we had to write notes or use an app that allowed us to correspond digitally. It wasn’t until she had a stay in Winthrop University Hospital, a division of NYU Langone, that we learned about the amazing SuperEar. One day, when I came to visit my mother at the hospital, I heard doctors talking to her. Amazingly, she was responding! I soon learned that they were using SuperEar, a personal sound amplifier. I quickly purchased one of these gadgets myself, and we haven’t looked back since. The SuperEar Personal Sound Amplifier is an affordable, user-friendly solution that dramatically improves communication for those with hearing difficulties.One reason why SuperEar is so amazing is that it is incredibly inexpensive. Unlike the $7,000 price tag associated with the previous useless hearing aids my mother attempted to use, the SuperEar costs only $65! If I hadn’t seen such an inexpensive piece of equipment work so well for her in the hospital, I never would have expected it would be so effective. Incredibly, however, it is, and you certainly cannot beat the low, low price.In addition to its affordability, another significant advantage is its ease of use. It comes with two very basic pieces that you just hook together.One piece is a pair of lightweight headphones. The other piece is a small plastic amplifier. You simply plug the headphones into the amplifier, turn it on, and speak into the amplifier. Even better, no charging is required! My mother is not tech savvy, so charging would be a chore for her. Instead, with the SuperEar, you simply pop in a AAA battery. You’re set for 30 hours of sound. So easy!A final reason why the SuperEar is the very best thing I have purchased in 2024 is because it is effective. Hearing aids just never seemed to work for her. She even tested out a new “high tech” hearing aid only to return it because it just didn’t allow her to hear much of anything at all. The SuperEar, however, is very different. In fact, like the description of it on Amazon says, SuperEar “is like reading glasses for your eyes.” It’s powerful, and my mother can now converse with us easily. We can speak at a normal level into the microphone amplifier, and she actually hears us ! She is so thrilled to be able to have a normal conversation again, and she is able to use it when speaking with doctors, storekeepers, and other family members too. My mother feels connected to us again, and that is invaluable.I have purchased many products in 2024, but the SuperEar truly stands out as the most useful and worthwhile investment. Its low price, user friendliness, and remarkable effectiveness make it an essential tool for anyone experiencing hearing difficulties. I highly recommend exploring the SuperEar for yourself or a loved one – it could transform communication and enhance the quality of life.

Worked wonders for my mom's hearing loss. And a great product before getting her accommodated with her prescription hearing aids. I thank the Lord and whom ever came up with such product

Great product needs a clip for the long wire

My father is in a private personal care home. Only 7 residents. In 5 months, he's lost his two pairs of hearing aids. Cha-ching! Pretty sure they weren't stolen, but because he has dementia, he always tended to sleep with his hearing aids in. You know what that means.... if they fall out while sleeping, most likely, they go in the wash and that's the end of them. Pretty sure this is what happened. Because of the cost, I cannot continue to buy. So this was suggested to me by a caretaker. Because of my father's 'vanity' about something like this, I had his doctor give it to him. He had no problem. ~~~~~Now that all that info is out of the way, here's what I think of these..... I tried them to make sure they would work before giving them to him. They are very comfortable! Comes with headphones AND wired earbuds. Battery is included with the devise itself, so I didn't have to dig around for a battery. Before putting on, I turned my TV down from 35 to 4. Impossible to hear the TV, right? When I put these on, I pointed the little box towards the TV (about 10 feet away) and I could hear the TV clear as day! And I didn't even have the box volume turned all the way up. Impressive! There is a very small bit of static occasionally, I guess when I'm moving the hand-held box around, but other than that, very clear, very loud! The sound quality is very good. Most importantly, these cannot be lost. I would definitely recommend these for seniors in nursing homes that have hearing issues, hard to lose. Also recommend for anyone with any type of hearing issues that don't mind wearing this sort of headset.There's nothing wrong with having a little bit of help hearing and these things are 100% worth it. And the price can't be beat! Those hearing aids were in the low thousands..... good thing his insurance paid for them, but insurance will only replace every two years. Even if insurance would pay again, I would hesitate to get a new set of aids.... this gadget has much better sound than hearing aids and is much easier to use.

Love that it picks up sound evenly. Does pick up a little background noise.

I like the earphone over the buds, at least at this time. It has limited volume enhancement and I am not sure yet in just what circumstances it will work well, but for me yesterday, watching a video on TV with my neighbor, it worked very well. She set the TV volume to her usual preferred level and I could easily raise that volume to the level I needed.I have not used it enough to know how long the battery will last, but it is a singe AAA, so I expect it will be short. I plan to alway have an extra battery with me.

I really appreciate this product. I now can hear what people and doctors are saying. Clearly!I wished it had bigger earphones and a longer cord to earphones.Great product and reasonable price.

This did not work out well at all for Mom and I. It has wires from a bulky microphone/battery compartment. It is bulky and in the way, the wires are also a hassle, very cumbersome, Mom could not stand to wear it. The sound was not good either, I am returning it! I Definitely do NOT recommend it!
