Could this work if using an earbud with a cell phone to boost cell phone volume (my mother is hard of hearing)?

Absolutely. That's how I'm using it, but be sure to lower the volume on everything first before you try. It can get loud.

This may not answer your question but I bought the boostaroo so I could hear movies on my tablet when I was flying which I couldn't with just earbuds. It works great but I also stopped using earbuds and got a cheap pair of headphones ($12.99) that helped cancel out the outside/engine noise. So it definitely boosts the sound quite a bit and better earphones will help even more.

I am going to be honest. I would call the company on their 800 number and ask them, as I don't see how you would get the cell phone connected to the Boostaroo. I have mine hooked into my computer and use it for listening that way. I am sure there HAS to be an answer for you. There's got to be a way to do this. I'm just not tech-savy enough to know how to! Good luck!

Yep you can. I did the same for my mom but we had to send it back because something was wrong with the volume.

Yes I think so. My motherinlaw wears it. The amplifier fits around your ear with the hearing part inside. Sound maybe muffled by being covered. Hope this helps.

I don't use the volume at full strength, but assume between the mp3 player's volume control and the boost this device gives it should help. I can't really answer this to your satisfaction. Perhaps it would be a case of try it and if it doesn't work return it to Amazon?

It should. It's just a sliding mechanism volume control specific to the earbuds themselves, not the phone or MP3 player.

I tested mine work with an adapter going into my iPod and iPad. Volume is acceptable but it's defiantly not loud.

Don't understand why headphones would be necessary unless the loudness bothers others nearby. I bought these for my hard of hearing 92 YO Mother and gone was my yelling in the phone.

Being that I don't wear a hearing aid, it's hard to say if this phone would work for someone that is hearing impaired. The speaker is adjustable, but I can't adjust it while I'm on a call. For this reason I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you get a really good deal on it.

I do not know how bad your hearing is but it really helped my mother . It has a microphone to pick up sound so whatever the sound system is putting out will be picked up and amplified . Good luck

Yes. The earbud picks up sound from the same location as does your ear. So the phone must be held against the ear that has the earbud.

It should work as it has a volume control...so I would say yes unless it is a severe disability :o) Be blessed

I'm not sure, I bought one for my work phone, hoping it would amplify the sound. I was not impressed, very disappointed

yes I think it would work. I use it on my IPhone and crank up the volume on it to split the signal.

Sorry,just don't know the answer..What I do know is that my mom can hear her phone calls,now..As far as volume,well worth the price..

Probably not. The ear buds and mic willl most likely work, but the hangup button probably won't. Besides, the sound isn't tha great.

It will work but this is a line out so you will not be able to adjust the volume thru the ipod itself. You could use a pair of earphones with volume control though.

Yes. But you will need the type of ear buds or headphones with a built-in volumne control. This device is great at boosting the audio but has a fixed volumne level. Also, it provides three outputs at the same boosted level.
