Digital Hearing Amplifier by Britzgo BHA-220. 500hr Battery Life, Modern Blue, Doctor and Audiologist Designed

After 1.5 years 3 put of 4 have failed on me. I had alternated using them so it seems it is better to just use one. I had kept one in the car and it is still working. I guess I am looking around for other’s now. To continue review to others failed in about the same time. So it looks like you have to figure on getting a new one every one and a half to two years. It would be best to try another one or buy two of them at a time. That way one might last longer. mportant: catcher I wanted to just tell you about an experience I had with aid. I Fell asleep with the hearing aid in my ear and I was leaning on my ear. Unknown to me the dome had come off. Half asleep I felt an inch in my ear so I wound up pushing the dome into my ear. I had to get a doctor to take it out. I thought it was really important to tell the audience. Another update February 12. I wanted to add that I wore the device in the shower twice. I realized it right away and took it out. It got a little wet but it still worked. So I feel that if I got caught in the rain it might not be too bad . This is an update. After a few months now I find these things work well. However there really is no ability to change the volume. It just stays on loud and that’s it. I also do not see any adjustments that you can make as far as where you are. If I’m in a noisy place it is too annoying and I cannot use it. But I continue to like it for listening to TV and in Conversation. I have 60% loss in left ear and 95% in right ear. So far I have to give the aid a 5 rating. I am only using 1 at a time. I have no poo ion about the 5 preference settings. When watching tv it works well I'm my left ear. If someone speaks to me while tv is on K cannot understand them. Depending on the people involved I may or may not use the aid. Some speak loud enough. In a restaurant O try to sit with a wall on my left side. If there is loud talking or loud music I cannot hear regular conversation. When driving a car I put the aid in my right ear and an able to hear people talking. Otherwise allI hear is tire noise. When not driving the aid does not help in the right ear. At one point I had tried an expensive aid and they are not better. The ability to switch ears is good. So far the battery lasts quite a while. At this point I have used it for 3 weeks and I am satisfied. I am now using the aid for two months now and it works well. The first battery died quickly but the 2nd one is still working and I am using it at least 15 hours a day. The 4 different settings have no meaning to me. I intend to update frequently because it seems that many would benefit from this product and it is crazy to spend thousands of dollars. Even if this breaks in a year you are way ahead.

If you are bothered by these hearing amplifiers being obvious then you probably don't want them. However, if you want to hear things better I would recommend them to you. I bought a pair of these to use while my $3000 set was being sent in for repair. While they are not as good as the $3000 set, I am very pleased with tier performance. They really help while listening to radio or television. My wife appreciates that I don't have the volume on those machines too loud when I have theses on. I really appreciate the on-off switch being easily accessed because their are times when I need to shut them off. One of those times is when I am outside on a windy day. Very noisy in the wind. Another time is when my grandchildren are playing and yelling. Again, too loud. When my screen door slams shut, they are too loud. But I can live with all of these things just to be able to hear at an affordable price. Love the long lasting batteries. I am a farmer and I use these for my ever-day work around the farm. I save the $3000 pair for public such as meetings, church, funerals and weddings. I would give them 5 stars if they weren't so obvious to others that I have on hearing aides. However, I am an old guy and have past the stage that I care too much about what others think so I probably should have given them that 5 star rating.

So it came this Afternoon. A little background-I went totally deaf at the age of 7. Did not start wearing a hearing aid until I was 12 or 13. I've had some very good ones and some really crappy ones-my latest came from Beltone, not a top-of-the-line model. I am on Disability due to vision problems, a stroke and having had complete Renal failure due to Diabetes since I was 22mos old. I'm 53 now so I've worn many hearing aids over the years. The Beltone was using 1980's technology-I could hear the waves emitted by the Theft Detectors at WalMart and could hardly carry on a conversation-as it aged over the last four years it got progressivly worse-start out out then an hour or so later it sounded like I had water in my ears. Unfortunately I lost it last week while moving som stuff-a beige hearing aid and brown leaves do not stand apart. So I ordered this-first the price was good and my budget, being minimal allowed for it. I've used Hearing Enhancers in the past with mixed luck. I am 60% deaf on my hearing aid side-other side is gone so this has to make up that percentage of loss. I am very pleased at this point-yes, some noises are harsh-doors slammed or items dropped on the floor can be jarring but overall the sound is very good-better than the Beltone [[and yes, I hope Bektones CEO see this]]. Conversations are clear, headphones with the PC are clear as is the TV. Might be too loud for some but, if you have severe hearing loss as I do it might be a life/Hob saver for you. *Update* Three months in-3 Battery changes. Not something I have ever managed with a standard Hearing Aid, average for those is once a week and I run it on "Hi" and wear it 18hrs a day both in the house and working outside. I did have an issue and they resolved it-suddenly it sounded 'plugged up' or muted. Years of experience with Aids I have all the tools and even a vacuum chamber to remove Debris such as Wax or Grit. No joy on my side. They replaced it in less than a week. Very Courteous service and quick response including Emails on the weekend. Is this going to work for everyone? Certainly not-sort of like driving a Stickshift, however, with a little patience and getting used to it should work for many. Good product and great company providing it. Update: So mine lasted a year. I noticed a couple of months ago it was getting a bit more Muted-some of that is the last battery pack I bought was the cheapest WallyWorld had-don'tDoThat. The decent batteries last a month-cheap ones might last a month but will be pretty bad by then. So I had been planning on buying a few of these for safe-keeping but had not had the funds. Friend gave me an Azon gift card and one item I ordered this past Saturday was another Britzgo. The year old one failed this morning but I think I can fixit-need to open it up and really clean it out and check connctions, no big deal but I was stuck without till 30 minutes ago when my new one got here. Talk about Timing. Oh, I work outside in all sorts of weather and noise conditions and it made a year easilly with all that so-nothing but compliments from me.

Updated 2-22-18: First unit did work well for a few weeks then the volume switch started to rattle around. They were really good about sending a replacement quickly. I had the replacement for a few weeks and it started out also working very well. After a while however the sound started to get very distorted so I am going to return the unit. They probably have a good product and it worked well at first but QC seems to be an issue. I tried several other brands and they really didn't work at all. On a tight budget so I thought I would give one more inexpensive set a try out. Works really well once you have all the adjustments set properly. My wife was very pleased as I had a hard time hearing our conversations before. For the price, it can't be beat. I didn't realize how bad my hearing was until I put these on. What I liked, easy to set up, nice set of features, easy to adjust What I didn't like, its not for noisy crowded area. It picks up sounds really well. No noise canceling.

The battery life on these is AMAZING! I only had to change them about once a month. They did not work well to cancel out sounds and amplified everything, but since Cancer is stealing my hearing and my medical team wasn’t sure where my hearing loss would stop, I got used to the extra noise and was just happy to hear something. While they helped with the TV, the radio still sounded tinny no matter what I did, but honestly I was so grateful to be able to be social again that was a small price to pay. Initially I bought the set with 2 aids in it and then one day one just quit working. I turned it off for the night set it in the case and it when I woke up it wouldn’t work anymore. I tried to send it back under the warranty, but to no avail. I teach, so I HAD to have something, so I ordered the single one to replace the broken piece, hoping to get that resolved with the warranty. I didn’t have the second one more than a few months and it too broke the exact same way. Turned off in the case worked great in the night, the next morning...nothing. New batteries didnt help, it was broken. Then the last couple of weeks I had one lonely hearing aid. I am supposed to get new ones from Costco, so I didnt bother buying yet another replacement, but IT went out about a week ago! Now, I am sucked into the sound of silence for one more week until my Costco appt. Thinking about buying another brand to get me by, so I can hear my students at least. Warranty was not honored on any of these that I bought. :-(.

I highly recommend this. It has been over a month since I ordered this device and I am still very pleased with how it is working. I am 62 years young and my hearing is not all that bad except in certain auditory ranges. Still, I was getting tired of the constant: "What?" "Excuse me?" "Pardon me?" and "Huh?" - especially around home and at my office. I was looking at getting a hearing test with the intent of buying aids for thousands of dollars. You can get a lot of these things for the price of one hearing aid. My mother and numerous others I have spoken with were not all that happy with their hearing aid experience. So I took a chance, followed the suggestion of a friend, and got this instead. It is truly wonderful. As some reviewers have said, the draw back is that it amplifies EVERY thing, so I do not use it constantly. Around my home I was disappointed that it amplified the fan overhead and the air vent noise really well -- but when you are trying to hear someone talking that really gets in the way. Likewise, I cannot use it in my car while driving - my hearing is fine for that. You can't believe how noisy a car is! And the kitchen is definitely off limits - every clank and clack of pots and pans or silverware becomes 'gun shot' loud. It drives me nuts. But being able to watch a DVD or listen to music on the stereo without entertaining the neighbors down the street is terrific. And taking this thing hiking is absolutely wonderful - to hear the birds, the wind in the trees, your foot fall in grass or gravel - is truly a joy. Of course, using it in my office to hear my soft-spoken clients has been both a blessing and essential. For the money this is a genuine value. It appears well made, has a good guarantee (though there are conflicts in the literature between one and two years) and seems well worth the investment. I do not understand why everyone seems fixated on the packaging? I guess the nice box shows something of the care of the manufacturer -- it is just marketing to me. This device really delivers good results and is ideal for folks whose hearing is not all that bad.

I lost my hearing overnight from a viral infection. I needed something to assist my hearing until I am able to get a pair of higher quality hearing aids. This device came nicely packaged. There was a "Quick Start" card that got things up and running in minutes. Two batteries are even included. They are supposed to last for 500 hours each. We'll see. Conventional hearing aid batteries typically last 75-100 hours. Three different size silicone domes are included. One of these should fit your ear canal and make a good seal. I needed the smallest one. Even it is not particularly comfortable. The silicone used to make these is not particularly soft or pliable. Controls are simple and easy to operate. There are 4 different, pre-programmed sound amplification modes that selectively amplify different frequencies. Just scroll through them until you find one you prefer. If ambient sound conditions change, try again until you find the best one. A little storage case is included. There is an easy to operate on/off switch so you can turn them off when not in use and preserve battery life. These fit over your ear. If you have long hair you can conceal them. If you have short hair, they are visible for the world to see. And no, they are not stylish. Overall, even the smallest silicone dome is not particularly comfortable in my ear canal. Sound amplification is basically non selective. There is no noise cancellation. These are OK as a temporary solution, but life will be much better with higher quality hearing aids. If you are a Military Veteran try the VA. If retired military, many military hospitals now offer the Retiree At Cost Hearing Aid Program (RACHAP). If you live near a Costco, they offer a great, heavily discounted hearing aid selection in many of their stores. These are definitely better than being deaf, but you are definitely getting a low end device. And did I mention the constant, low grade background static? What do you get if you spend $60 on a hearing aid? You get a $60 hearing aid.

First hearing device and a keeper! For the money, I'm very happy with this device, I wear it in my right ear which is my bad ear and it works wonders. So well in fact that I turned the volume level of my TV down from 24 to level 14. I can also now hear the wife talking which may or may not be a good thing. Oh well, it does have a volume control. When I first put it in my ear, it did whistle a lot. That was solved by changing to the largest ear bud. Seems like you need the proper seal between the ear bud and ear canal. It always seems to squeal when putting it on or removing it. That was an easy fix also. Have the unit turned off when putting it on or removing it. Here is a little trick I learned to test the battery. Just cup your hand and place it over your ear. If you get a squeal, the battery is good. If not. the battery needs replaced. By the way, it does take the 675 air cell battery which can be bought at quite a good price here at Amazon. I don't feel it is too large and feels good while I'm wearing it. I like this device so much that I ordered another one in silver directly from Britzgo's web site only because I wanted to order some extra ear buds as well. I will not be wearing both of them at once, I just wanted a spare! No you can't get extra tubing for this model but the way it's designed you should never have to replace the tubing. Yes, there is a very tiny bit of white noise in the unit but that doesn't bother me at all as you can hardly hear it. You must always keep in mind that you paid pocket change for this unit and not thousands of bucks. Many thanks to all the good folks at Britzgo!

Worst machine I have ever seen in my life ..its not working at all.you even can't understand what's going on so much noise in your ears..request don't buy...otherwise totally waste of money.not even a single penny item ...it is as packed as it was delivered.. unusable...waste

I liked it most voice quality is good With reasonable price

I bought for my mother but she got irritated while sitting below the fan as it's mic. is at the top of the device and it was generating lots of noise.

It was needed for my father, a senior citizen, profound hearing loss, age related. A very good product in terms of 1. Cost: as my father keeps losing his hearing aid machines very often. 2. Clarity: the other machines just work as amplifier with lot of buzz when volume is increases. This machine give focus to the hearing content. I have tried on myself before giving to my father.
