Bionicear 2Plus Personal Sound Amplifier - a bionic ear 2 plus personal sound amplifier able to picking up 45dB audible sounds for the seniors to hear more

It works great for conversations but if your using them to watch TV they're not that good. Also noticed a slight static noise buildup after 2 weeks of normal use.I bought them for a 89 year old lady to use to communicate among her friends.

After thousands of dollars spent on hearing aidswe decided to try the Bionic Ear and were very pleased that it works so well. We will never buy hearing aids again!

My mom has severe hearing loss and has been to Doctor a few times with no luck. They can amplify the sound but she can't distinguish words. She says it sounds like the speaker is in a tunnel far away. She has great insurance but no hearing aid will help.I buy the Bionic Ear and she can hear great while in a quiet room with no back ground noise. Nice to have a normal conversation without yelling into her ear. The volume is up and it feeds back if the ear buds are close to unit but it works great. She can even hear in a restaurant to place order but turns off afterwards to stop back ground noise.Then a wire to the little hard ear buds breaks. I get her nice headphones but it makes it sounds like she is in a tunnel and she can't distinguish words. I get soft ear buds with interchangeable little soft form fitting cones. They are just like the headphones, tunnel effect.The only thing I can think of is that the non-cushioned ear buds that come with it transmit some vibration directly to ear canal which helps her distinguish the sounds. So the little cheap hard ear buds work were the soft expensive ones don't.I just ordered another G2 to get the ear buds and am going to try finding some hard ear buds at local stores. The ear buds that come with it just have a thin soft foam cover, old style. The new ones have a soft silicone cone that acts sort of like a conforming plug with a hole in center.

I should never have fallen for this piece of trash. It is slickly marketed, but cheaply made, has little to no volume control and does not perform at all as advertised. Steer clear of this, my friends, purchase this at your peril. It is not worth the risk.

For the price it is OK, however there is background noise and if it contacts anything like your skin or clothing the noise is very troublesome. It is by no means a complete solution to the basic problem.

I bought this bionic ear to hear words too quiet for me to hear in conversation in a quiet room. For that purpose, it worked mostly. In some quiet rooms there was still a lot of popping and interference, perhaps because we were in a housing area where a lot of remote control devices were around. Later, in a more secluded area, I had no trouble with interference. In a normal house where there is ambient noise, the ambient noise will override the voice. For instance, I have a ticking clock in my living room. The only thing audible is the ticking clock. If you are in a controlled and quiet environment, wanting to hear specific voices where there is no ambient noise, this will work for you.

I bought this because I lost my prior one and it is no longer available. I tried this one and it works great for the movie theater adn that is all I use it for.

Works okay but wouldn't get to watch tv. Too much extra noise. Would be good just listening to other people.
