How well does this work on ADULT ears? One review said the focus point was too short for adults. Is that others' experience as well?

Unfortunately, that question isn't possible to answer definitively. It really depends on the anatomy of the adult's ear. Some ear canals have a severe curve, almost 90 degrees from the outside to the eardrum. Others have a gentle curve. With the gentle curves you can see MOST of the eardrum if you're patient and practice. Even some children's eardrums are hard to visualize because of the curve in the canal.

Yes, you can adjust it from no sound to full volume....does anyone bother to read the write-ups on products they are looking at??...this one is very well described in explicit detail...

Dear Lenora----it seems to work just fine for me---. I purchased two of these items and both work just fine. There is an amplifier that must be switched on (uses 1 AAA battery) in order for the volume to really work best---if the amplifier isn't on or the battery is dead there (essentially) is no volume. As long as the battery is good and you have the amplifier turned on (that is by the way how the volume is adjusted) all is well and for just a little speaker it can be quite loud --- but that is a function of how close it is to your ear. For me and my purpose I have no complaints and it's my opinion that you'll be just fine. Dear Lenora----it seems to work just fine for me---. I purchased two of these items and both work just fine.

No, my experience with this head set has been great. I haven't had a problem with them hurting my ears. They are very comfortable. My only problem is that the wire is too short but besides that I am very impressed

I have partial hearing loss in my left ear. I use the amplifier in my left ear and it does pretty good. the only problem I have is the need to constantly adjust the volume, depending on my surroundings. It aslo goes through batteries rather quickly.

Did you ever find one a bluetooth or headset that works? I am having a similar problem. My ears and canals are small, so nothing seems to stay on my ear. I was thinking about trying a bluetooth that has headphones that go over your head or behind your neck, have you tried this type? I agree that they need to make these child size as well!

There are so many points on the ear, that I wouldn't advise doing it yourself. You might stimulate the wrong point. My acupuncturist puts these in my ears for me. However, there are points on the wrists and legs that are much easier to find, depending on what benefit you seek to achieve. The legs, arms and wrists, as well as stomach, all have points that are found in the ears. But ear points are off limits unless you are an acupuncturist. Best of luck!

No doubt, they do work really well for ears. Just be clean about it. It literally took me like 2 minutes to do just one ear. And like 20 seconds for my friend to do the other.

I got the 3D ear phone/microphone and it kind of helps out for me! I am a distance hearing person so the audio is fine for me. If you want to play back the audio, you can get a reg earphone and listen to it!

I think it works pretty well. The sound adjusts by tapping the back of the ears. No complaints after 2 months of every day use- we play lullabies for our daughter. Plus it's super cute.

The advice I have seen recommends buying a unit for your weakest ear. I suggest you call the folks at CS 10, as they have just released an updated unit.

I have the same issue. I was hesitant to get these but they were highly recommended from a friend so I took a shot in the dark and got them. I'm happy to report that this thing has some pretty nice grip. The downside is it's tight enough that it may cause some ear irritation after extensive use but beyond that this is one of the best purchases I've made.

I found it comfortable to the ear... I have used this type before and could not get used to them. With this one I have so far. :)

I would say no. As an adult, you know not to jam it into the ear. Lift the ear up and gently put it into the ear. The child or person you are using it on will be able to tell you I'd you go too far. It doesn't have to be inserted that far to be able to see.

Victoria, that was a question I had. I had one ear that had been damaged and reconstructed through surgery----I have about 80% hearing in that ear as measured along with a quite loud permanent ringing in that ear. I bought the CS10 for that ear and it seems to work well for me. However, since I have not tried a CS10 in my "good" ear, I don't know if that would have been better. I'm still learning how best to use the CS10 like which preset is best in what condition----I find that I use "preset three" most of the time. I hope this information is helpful to you.

you hit the nail right on the head. Ear piece is still a BIG problem. I am on my 2nd one (ear piece) and it's starting to give me a problem. Wish they could make a stronger one.

Once on, it's great. You don't just pop it on, you place one end in an ear and then the other. Place it over the top of your ear and go. Takes a few seconds.
