Elite Package: Reizen Loud Ear 120dB Gain Personal Amplifier

This amplifies sound, so I can hear better.

I am a senior and got difficulty to listen to talk of relatively near distance. With this device I can listen to and understand talk. It is good. But problem is that, If I put it in my pocket, voice of myself is too big. So, it is better to put on a desk. But it is not stable, easy to fall over. Then I made stand with cardboard: see picture. It works. but if non-slip one is better.Volume mark: each time I need to search good volume. So, there should be numbers 1,2,3... on the volume dial. I marked a dot at the good volume point by marker. then it works well.After these additional works, it works very well.

This unit is well worth the money as opposed to the lower prices Reizen unit. With the cheaper unit the ear buds fall out at the slightest movement. There is some static and crackling sounds. The better unit has comfortable headphones that stay on. The sound quality is much better quality. As with all amplifiers the less of the total amplification ability you have to use, the better the sound quality is. If course any personal amplifier will also pick up sounds in the room, but in a quiet place you will hear very well. Pay the extra and get the better Reizen. Use large safety pins to secure it to the arm of your easy chair.

The headphones stopped working within 1 day of use. Also the item has no filter so I could hear everything, such as the electric fan on my desk.

I bought this about 4 moths ago to use at church. It works well, I just have to turn it off when we sing or it is too loud but it is great for sermon and announcements. I use it with the headphones as the earbud is hard to use since I wear hearing aids and have to take one out of my ear to use that and then the sound isn't balanced. But, the headsets work fine.However, last week I was driving to Bible Study and picked up the device off the seat. It was hot. It didn't turn on and was getting hotter. I opened the battery compartment and the batteries were getting hotter, burned my finger getting them out. It appears to have shorted out, while turned off and not being used. I changed the batteries and the device is completely dead. As I depend on it, and since it has given good service up to this time, I ordered another, got it in 2 days and can hear what is going on again.I have shown mine to 3 people, my age, in church, who have expressed an interest in buying the device so I talk nice about it, but am concerned about the shorting out. What would have happened if I hadn't picked it up and found it hot? Would it eventually caught on fire? Could it have caused a fire in my vehicle?

Delivered on time Great and the product is great

Update: I praised this in the beginning but soon realized it wasn't consistent after some use. You might get different results.

The only problem is hearing speakers while watching TV.
