Customer Review: Good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little hesitant after poor review stating that the unit didn't work right out of the box, but I went ahead and gambled the $46. To my disappointment, the unit showed exactly the same symptoms described by the other reviewer. The thing would work for a couple of seconds and cut out. After trying non-rechargeable batteries and various combinations of buttons I happened to take a closer look at the battery cover. It's here where I found the problem... at the very top of the battery compartment there are the usual + and - symbols, so I put the batteries in so that the symbol matched the part of the battery that was outward facing. But looking at the cover the symbols were reversed.... what was meant was that the symbol on the device was actually the end of the battery meant to be buried int he device and the symbols on the inside of the little cover were the outward facing ends. Once I reversed the batteries and charged them, the unit worked as described.Customer Review: Guardedly delighted

I purchased this product with some trepidation because the other reviews I saw called it tinny and junk. But it was sold through enough reputable places and offered such a promising solution to my aged and cheap ("I'm not going to pay $5000 for a hearing aide; how many years do you think I have left?") aunt's hearing loss that I decided to give it a try. My aunt is virtually deaf, but this product could be turned so loud that she asked me to turn it down. For the first time in two years I could carry on a normal-voice-level conversation; I didn't have to scream in her ear. And her perception of what I said was 100% accurate as opposed to about 50% when I was screaming.
The product does not strike me as very durable, but it is not junk either. So far -- a few weeks of irregular use -- it has been 100% reliable.

The Clarity is a fair device to try for trouble hearing in crowds or around ambient noise. Next best thing to an in ear device. Bugaboos of the device are: The little microphone cover falls off easily and is lost, requires frequent tone dial changes depending on speech from males or females, does not come with a convenient method of wearing around the neck (which is most likely where you'll want to wear it). Overall I do not regret the purchase. It has helped me immensely in my frequent meetings, allowing me to hear people all around a large room.Customer Review: Works Fine

I bought this for my mom. She likes it quite a bit. It provides more amplification than she needs.
I also bought her the "Stealth Secret Sound Amplifier" and she's decided she likes that one a bit better - sound is better for her and her hair hides it pretty well.
Both devices amplify the surrounding sound, so I suspect it's completely dependent on her precise hearing loss.

We originally got the item so I could hear on the right side of the car, my right ear has no hearing, and I thought this was good so I could hear passengers when they were riding with me needless to say I never got to use it.I tried it one time in the house and never got to use it as originally intended.
