I can not respond as I returned mine. It did not have settings for crowd noise as I was led to believe. Sorry.

I think your confusing a `hearing aid' and a `hearing devise'. The Walkers is a hearing devise, which increases the volume of ALL sound, while an actual hearing aid is much more selective (and much more expensive).

It is a heaing device. Also i found it would not stay in my hear. Would not buy it again.

I am sorry that I bought two of these. I spent money that I could have used on a real set of hearing aids which I ended up buying. These did not work, every sound was amplified so I still couldn't understand. It was annoying. It was noise similar to a TV that goes off and you are looking at a snow screen. It's worth it to go to a good audiologist and buy a pair tailored to your needs as you receive many visits for adjustments

I bought this for my kids. We found this is just a mere toy. It does seem to amplify sounds as a whole. It is not that directional as the parabolic dish suggest. Matter of fact we found that the dish just slightly blocked sound behind you. All sounds were jumbled and muddled beside and in front if you. It isn't possible to hone in on a sound that is stated in the advertisement. As said this is a toy nothing more. If you want to amplify sound for surveillance you should consider other high gain amps. This would be a wast of money for anyone unless they are buying it for a very small child to play with.

I am looking for headphones for my aunt. She is totally deaf in one ear and very hard of hearing in the other. She has an over the ear digital hearing aid. To make matters worse, she is legally blind. I need something that will not rest on her hearing aid receiver, that will adjust so the sound only comes in one ear and is reasonably comfortable. She was an avid reader before going blind and I think she would enjoy audio books if I can find a way for her to hear them. I've tried my ipod with a downloaded book, but she didn't catch all the words (with ear bud). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for headphones for my aunt.

The 3M earplugs will greatly reduce the radio volume that reaches the ear, but won't completely block it. I just tried it while watching TV. Shooters sometimes wear earplugs and noise blocking earmuffs in addition to achieve maximum sound reduction. There are muffs available that electronically block sound - I've not used them however.Another choice would be to have the the person listening to the radio wear earphones that automatically silence the radio speakers when the earphones are plugged in.

is it protective at all? yes it is. however, it would be hard for the manufacturer or anyone really to get a true decibel rating. im not sure how good it would actually be. mutt muffs have pretty large holes where the straps pass through plastic. if I had to make an educated guess, these are about as protective for your dog as it would be for you to put your hands over your ears. also, remember that dogs tend to perk their ears up when they're trying to listen to something. mutt muffs force your dogs ears flat (first line of audible defense) then go around and cover the ear (second line of audible defense). for a dog that's exposed to firearms this product is the only option I've found that serves its purpose. it will require a some training sessions if your dog doesn't take to them being on his head.

As I have responded before this is an inferior piece of equipment in everyway possible. What you describe shows that. If you have time left I encourage you to return it. Amazon should have discontinued this long ago. A major disappointment to those ordering it. Originally touted by Amazon as a 1200$ fine lab instrument. So what about it AMAZON why are you still pushing this poorly designed piece of junk?

I'm sorry but these NewEarTM hearing amplifiers did not work for me. They amplified everything so that didn't solve the problem of hearing voices distinctly. I am aggravated that I bought 2 of them (I never even opened one of them) I ended up buying real hearing aids that are computer programmed to my individual needs by an audiologist. They are great and worth the money which was reasonably priced for the service and hearing aids

Patient DOES NOT wear the sensor. The sensor is either hung up or placed directly on a solid surface. It will go off when the barrier line has been broken and is quite sensitive, even in low light environments. The receiver is very loud, and might need to be covered to lower the volume, as there is no volume control. The great part is that it is loud enough to wake even the most sound sleeper. Prior to using this unit, you will want to test the placement and direction of angle, to have an accurate location and angle to accomplish your goal. My father has alzheimer's and this worked great with his night time wandering, until he was more recently placed in a memory care facility. Patient DOES NOT wear the sensor.

Shooting ranges might not know these provide adequate hearing protection. They may want you to wear more familiar mufflers or plugs. The same way they will put magnet to check a bimetal hollow point. Then claim it cannot be fired there due to have iron or steel in the bullet. Even though its a hollow point and won't damage the targets. A combination of ignorance and inflexibility.

I am sorry I am listed as purchasing this device - I wish Amazon would remove me from the list. We purchased a different clock by AUGUST which works quite well. I have been asked about playing memory cards, charging, batter back-up and other problems all about this clock radio. Please inform Amazon that I never purchased and to remove me from the 'question'/commentary on the clock. I am very sorry I couldn't help you.

its really weird that I got this question today. Up until about 3 days ago it was perfect. People could hear from quite a distance. Now in the car people cannot understand what I'm saying. Its very sensitive but it seems like you're not blocking noise. Its not blocking noise. I was thinking of calling them to find out what was up. Been real disappointed lately period last 3 4 days

Now I'm really confused! According to the CNET review, this is an "over the ear" type of bluetooth headset. I don't think I can stand to have an earbud stuck in my ear. Nuts, and I was just about to buy the silly thing too! Any ideas out there for those of you who can't stand to have anything stuck in your ears?Help!Carol

Sorry - I don't know. I did not keep the hearing device. It just wasn't working for me!

though I have read other's reviews, saying that it is helpful.....no. Matter of fact, I found it to be a very irritating noise....Was able to lower my stress level quickly, thus shutting off the noise emitter. I either set it too low, so the signal disappeared immediately, or the noise made my stress level higher. Perhaps someone else can be more helpful?I guess we both look at it differently, Shrinker. I accept plenty of 'stuff' in life, but this kind of 'fingernails on blackboard noise' is no where near the gateway to calmness. I recommend that folks look towards saving their $$$ and just start practicing plain ol' meditation. though I have read other's reviews, saying that it is helpful.....no.
