I'm hearing impaired and am simply looking for a good boost in volume; would this be a good choice?

I am severely hearing impaired and wear 2 hearing aids. I connect directly to my hearing aids by cable from the Nexus 5 cellphone headphone jack. At max volume the cellphone did not produce enough volume for music. With the FiiO 6 I get enough added volume to hear music clearly. If what you need is a "boost" this amplifier is a good choice. If you are very hard of hearing and don't wear hearing aids it will probably not be enough of a boost.

This would be perfect...for a little boost and more if needed. I use this device for my cellphone, tablet, laptop, and any other media that will take the plug for this. The equalizer I don't use...as the presets are all bass or all at max, which can be overwhelming. I would definitely give it a try if I were you...can't go wrong.

I use my amplifier with my headphones in a call center. I talk to people who have district accents from different regions of the country. Many are older and speak softly. This amp have made my life easier. I introduced it to about six other representatives. None of us would give up our FIiO amp. The volume is easy to adjust. If you don't use it daily, you may have to adjust the volume each time you use it

No, it will not. I bought it for my father who is hearing impaired and this amp does not help. The volume boost is insignificant.

I'm not a doctor so not sure if it works for "hearing impaired". I guess it depends on how impaired your hearing is. I know you can turn the volume up much louder than is comfortable for me. Hope this helped :-)

I don't think it is loud enough for that. We just returned it because at loud volumes it gets distorted.

we use this as a hearing aid for members that can't hear.if it is pluged into a interperter's amp, i think it would work fine.

I don't know but for the price point I doubt it. I've provided several of my elderly Aunts and Uncles with the device with the feedback from them indicating it to be more of an "amplifier" with very little discrimination of background noises. I'm happy with it because they can hear my conversations without having to raise my voice. That's in and of itself is a measure of success!

I don't know but will have spouse to try it out, there shouldn't be a problem. The sound quality is tip top and I have severe hearing loss. But, I use the Phonak Niada hearing aid which is their strongest modle.

Yes, but depending on the output from your device you may have no volume control so it may not be a good idea.

This was the reason I purchased this product - for better clarity of dialog vs the background music, etc. Did it help? Yes it did. Will it work for you? That would depend on the severity of your hearing loss, and to some extent what you are viewing. I think you will see a noticeable improvement, but it won't be 100% better. One other thing to consider - there were other models of this same product, although more expensive, not sure if going for a better one would equal higher satisfaction. I would go for it. I don't regret the purchase at all .Hope this helps!

The ZVOX 580 does a VERY good job at what it was designed to offer; that is, provide improved sound for listeners with impaired hearing. My wife has 65% hearing loss. This amplifier enhances speech and the lower tones that she can still receive. Frankly, while the amplifier performs well, its primary application is not meant for high-quality sound reproduction (the intended users could benefit little from that). So DTS is not all that important. I suggest you go to the website and read more about the equipment.

I am 70 and hear ok with this. However, if Granny has a hearing aid or other hearing issues you may wish to invest in a more expensive set where volume can be turned up.

This device will not improve 'quality' but it will amplify the sound so that you can hear better under some circumstances.My PC was not generating sound as loud as needed for me to hear music and movies in the airplane.I use a Bose QuietComfort 15 headphone but the noise canceling feature was not enough.This device helped get the volume as loud as needed to overcome the jets' noise.

I found this hearing device to be unsatisfactory for my use. First let me say that I am hearing impaired, can't hear much from my right ear and have a hearing aid in my left ear. The device does amplify and helps but it loses the signal very easily. You cannot go into another room or you lose the signal and sometimes if you even turn your head, you lose the signal. I ended up returning it and getting the Sennheiser 840 device. i do not have that problem with it and it does help with hearing. I can also use it with my hearing aid in. Hope that helps.

Yes, It may be the best phone for you that you have ever used. I am very hard of hearing and I love this phone.

I don't know if this, or any other, speaker would boost volume for a tv with low volume. It might help to go into the settings screen for the tv and see if the volume can be adjusted. A powered sound bar might be helpful. Buy one at walmart and if it doesn't help you can return it.

I'm 69 & have slight hearing loss also, so says my wife anyhow. This system has a really nice speakerphone but also has a headphone jack on the handsets, so you can plug in an amplified headset if you need to right into the handset jack... just FYI... that is if the speakerphone ends up not loud enough, but it is pretty loud & very clear also.

The manufacturer claims "up to 40 db" increase; I claim it's 'LOUD.'My hearing loss is profound - it works well for me.

I'm hard of hearing. So, it's hard to tell. But the Maxi allows you to select different tones where you are comfortable with, and you can adjust the volume (this is a global setting) for that. So, I'll just say YES. This is a very good tool, especially for me who has been very disappointed with hearing aids.
