Query: Not all they're cracked up to be.

I bought a set of these for my mom..the "one-two year battery life" is actually just about four months. And the battery ain't cheap, folks..they glued the two tiny hearing aid batteries in place in the case, making the battery "assembly" a proprietary part which sells for 20+ bucks plus shipping.Being a handy guy with a soldering iron, I replaced the batterys with a pair of off-the-shelf cells for under $4.00..Likewise, their "ear buds" (which are ungodly painful!) wear out/fall off, and sell for (you guessed it!) 20+ bucks a set plus shipping..way to prey on the senior citizens TV Ears!Two thumbs down for crappy design which is painful to old ears and ridiculously priced replacement parts, which is even more painful to fixed incomes.
