Reizen Loud Ear 110dB Gain Personal Amplifier

Bought this amplifier for a loved one so she could hear better since it worked and she can hear better with this then a hearing aid

I bought this for a friend of mine who is currently in a convalescent facility. Hearing aids were hurting his ears, and I don’t really think was getting the job run done right. Plus all the battery exchange was a hassle. When he was admitted to the hospital the Laud ear device was used by several of the staff. He heard great, it’s very lightweight easy to insert, and pretty much does exactly what it supposed to do. One downside, of course the loud ear magnifies everything. If you are in a noisy environment, such as a dining hall, it’s pretty difficult to hear anything. That being said, one on one, in a quiet room, visiting with an elderly person, the Loud ear works quite well. I would definitely buy one again if needed.

I am genuinely surprised and disappointed that the seller or more specifically, Amazon, would offer a product such as this. Where is the Quality Control? I wanted something primarily to enhance my TV listening to avoid having to turn the TV up so loud and even "upgraded" to the higher priced item (compared to the many less expensive devices offered) thinking I would get good results. Instead I found that upon turning it on and trying to use it, there was so much background noise that it drowned out any semblance of hearing the TV whether the TV volume was high or turned down to a normal range. I tried the earbud in both ears, I adjusted it up and down and positioned the unit both holding it and then laying it as a stand alone while attempting to reach a point of actually hearing the TV, but nothing altered the wind-like static noise. It sounds like being in a wind tunnel or someone blowing into the microphone. I am stupefied at the price for something that doesn't work and angry at myself for believing the product description! I could not hear the TV, let alone it enhancing the listening experience! I am returning it immediately for a refund and I do not recommend this product, as I found it to be worthless. Were it not for the cost, I would have thrown it in the trash and not even bothered with returning it.

Compact Amplifier That Works, But With Quirks I tried this Reizen Loud Ear personal amplifier mainly for conversations in quieter settings. The small size and included earbuds make it easy to slip into a pocket, and setup is straightforward—plug in, adjust volume, and it’s ready. The volume range is strong, with plenty of gain; even at half strength, voices and sounds come through much louder than without it. That said, the sound quality isn’t crisp. Voices can feel somewhat tinny or distorted, and background noises (like rustling or clinking dishes) are amplified right along with speech. This makes it less helpful in crowded or noisy spaces. Comfort is another point—using it for more than an hour can be tiring since it relies on basic earbuds instead of a more tailored fit. Build-wise, it feels lightweight but not especially sturdy; I wouldn’t want to drop it. Battery life is adequate, but expect to swap or recharge regularly if using daily. Bottom line: This is an inexpensive, portable option if you just need extra amplification in calm environments, but it falls short of a polished hearing aid alternative.

in general the amp works well...gain seems a little steep with new batteries...had to use a double ear plug set in place of the single supplied but I do have serious hearing loss in one ear so needed both plugs to equalize sound....... however compared to any other low cost device I have tried this proves to be the best ....and for the cost compared to the high end devices this is a good purchase.....ivor j lewis

Excellent device that helps hear better. Very easy to use.

This is a life saver. I bought this for my 95 years old mom when she lost her hearing on both ears. There was no other way to talk to her if it wasn't because of this device. With this device we talk to her in normal voice. It does pick up the sound from the environment which is annoying, but if you are in a room at home or with few people around, she can hear everyone and have a normal conversation with them. It has volume control. One clever feature of this device is, my mom can turn the volume control knob but had a hard time to turn it all the way for it to click off, but as I see it if you turn it off all the way without the click, the light turns off which I hope it means it is off, but I am not sure. Otherwise a great device.

I tried this for my mom as she is hard of hearing but can't afford an expensive hearing aid - well this did not work at all for her. I could hear the screeching sound as she was trying to adjust the volume. Looks like we need to do something else. Not sure if we had a defective one or if that's just the way it works? Anyway, I sent it back to the company. Return was easy and prompt return of my $$. It's worth a try if you think this will work for you since it was so easy to return. Worth the money to try - and it looks like it worked for others - just not for my mom. That's why I gave it a 3 star instead of 2.
