Audioactive BTE Digital Hearing Amplifier with 4 Adjustable Settings, Discreet BTE Design, Automatic Volume Cancellation, Natural Hearing Experience, Frequency Control Built-in Microchip

It arrived early this morning and I have been wearing it all day. Of course this is only the first day, but so far I am very pleased with it. The first hearing aid I bought was the cheapest I could find, but it was an experiment as I have never worn a hearing aid and all that one did was amplify the noise around me. This one has a bit of tech inside and the difference is amazing. It feels comfortable and I forget I'm wearing it. So, if you can trust a review written after just one day, I whole heartedly recommend it.

My Dad had bought, in the past some very cheap hearing aids. They were about £7 each. These cheap ones did work but the cheap batteries he also bought either did not work or ran out in a day or so.I decided, when the 3rd cheap one broke (battery contacts failed) I would step in, do some research and buy a better one.This one is way better. I set it up with the mode setting, this meant pressing the little button until the sound was clear and the whistling stopped. The volume control is better, its a little rocker switch where the cheaper ones tend to have a wheel type control. With the wheel type control every time the hearing aid it touched the volume control get disturbed.With this one with rocker switch accidental adjustments no loner happen!As soon as I gave this to my Dad and he popped it in he said that's amazing, its like my old hearing back again, so much clearer.And as a bonus the batteries seem to last longer than a single day. This depends on some management i.e. turning the thing off when not. A few days could be achieved with management and decent batteries. If batteries are £2 for 20 then they are going be be a disappointment.Also I wanted a hearing aid with a thicker or shrouded cable between the outer ear bit and the inner ear bit. This make the fitting easier, i.e. when the outer ear bit is located the inner ear bit automatically finds the ear hole. With the thin cable one the inner ear bit has to be specially located.I should add my dad has suffered a stroke so any thing that helps is an advantage. Especially with impaired hand control.Things I would have never thought about before.Happy hearing!

This hearing aid works very well. I forget I am wearing it. It fits in the ear easily and very comfortable. You can adjust the sound level (brilliant) and to a certain extent the frequency response. However, I have had it for a little while and found a few problems. Firstly the battery lasts about a week, although they do give you three batteries to start . Secondly there is no sound compression so it overloads easily causing distortion but you can turn it down of course. Thirdly , and the problem that affects me most , you can’t use it on loop systems. Having said all that it is very good value for the money and better than many costing a lot more.

The pipe that connects the ear apparatus is much too long and is not adjustable. The amplifier is large and cumbersome: at the slightest movement it leaves behind the ear. I do not recommend

Best purchase ever. Works brilliantly. Battery works for almost two weeks. Mum's happy everybody happy.

very poor quality, batteries in the box alredy drained and the actual hearing aid is setting itself on and off at irrelevant times and also the volume drops or gets higher without touching the buttons. Very disappointing

fully meets my needs

Ok but a little tinny sounding. fairly comfortable to wear all day. Battery life fairly good.I've had several different makes of hearing aid, all of which have either failed due to on off switch breakage, ear piece lead failure, often after a few months of use under a year. So will have to see how long this one lasts.
