Is it hearing aid compatible; that is, can it be worn over an open fit BTE state of the art aid? Does it have to be inserted in the ear?

Unfortunately yes it does. It's an excellent device, but designed to be inserted inside the ear. I've been a user for over 3 months.

Yes it can be worn with out ear hook. IT doesn't pop out very often on myself.

Yes it may. The kind thet is inserted would be no probleb at all.If you use the kind with a band & covers the ear the band would need to go aroundthe back of the head not over the top of the head. My shield works very well but I do not use hearing protection.At 82 it went some time ago.

of course not! 1. It cannot be securely fixed to your ear.2. It is not that water resistant!

Short answer: no, it does not fit over the ears. It is an on-ear head phone.

The speaker juts a little into the ear opening, so it would be hard to wear a hearing aid (other than one that goes deep into the ear canal like a Lyric). The Ear Loop is just for stability and doesn't interfere with earrings or glasses.

As long as it's worn over the ear and you have the right size ear cushion, generally any ear bud will stay put. but not all ear buds can be worn over the ear, but, most of the Ultimate Ears ear buds can be. I wear my 500's over the ear all the time even though they aren't advertised to be worn like that, and they are quite comfortable when worn over the ear.

Yes, it is Bluetooth compatible and yes, it does have an over the head wearing option. I really like this model!

I don't think so. It is not sold as a prescription, it is a sound "amplifier". The Tweak is a better unit if you have severe hearing loss and is 100 dollars less.. The Life Ear is a great unit for moderate hearing loss.

I believe it is hearing air compatible. My hearing aids do not have the "t-coil", so they do not have a "phone mode." What is important is that the volume is adjustable - there is a slider that raises the volume. If that is not enough, you can press the "boost" button, and the slider still adjusts the volume. In other words, I may answer the phone with the volume control in the "middle" without boost. I can increase the volume, but if that is not enough, press the boost button and slide the volume control to the min and increase as I need it. My wife, who does not have a hearing loss, likes this phone the best of all the phones in the house.

I think several have answered very well, the unit itself is a very good hands free unit. I too am hard of hearing and I tried a in-the-ear type wireless Bluetooth. I couldn't hear unless I kept a finger on it and pushed it into my ear. This headset works great because it is an earphone that holds itself to your ear. As others have said, if your aid is in your ear, it should work fine.

I really don't believe this is a "hearing aid". It is more of a hearing "amplifier"and it didn't work for me. It was also fairly big. I returned it and got a Siemens Orion RIC BTE Hearing Aid. They work great! My insurance paid for them, so you should check with a Hearing Aid provider & your insurance company. Also, Orion is an entry level Hearing Aid, but they work just fine.

Yes as long as Hearing Aid is Compatible with your Phone and doesn't give you a ringing noise when u hold your phone to the ear with the Hearing Aid

Yes,so irritating I couldn't wear it! My wife also heard it. I wear in-the ear hearing aids & a friend bought this thing for me. I told him he wasted his money,it's nothing but junk!

If u can hear from a regular phone then u can hear from this Bluetooth.but remember this Bluetooth has no special function for people with hearing problems. One more thing is if your hearing aid fills your ears then u can't put this in your ears .it won't fit.

Don - The Connect-to-Cell feature was not engineered with BT enabled hearing aids in mind. It may work with them, but we cannot assure you that it will.

In order for mine to work, my Audiologist had to group [link] it with my Phonak hearing aids. That might be the case with other hearing aids as well. Added note-I was charged a $35 fee because I bought this item "out there". Best check with your hearing aid supplier before buying.
