Customer Review: TV Ears is Magic for the Hard of Hearing
Summary: 5 Stars

I just purchased TV Ears from my audiologist. They are fantastic. Some say they are uncomfortable to wear. I watch TV from a recliner and, therefore, do not sit precisely upright. The base rests on my chest so maybe that's the reason they are not uncomfortable to me. In fact, I consider them light and much more comfortable to the large ambient sound blocking earphones that are available.

Some said the output jack on the TV was used for speakers which they were not willing to give up. I simply lay the microphone that comes with the TV Ears below the TV speaker and haven't worried about hooking anything to the TV. The side benefit is that I don't have to choose between hearing the TV and my wife. My wife says "MUTE" loudly and I mute the TV. I can hear her through the same mike through which I hear the TV. Both the TV and voices are clear and as loud as I like since I control the volume from my receiver around my neck.

For comparison, without hearing aids I have to turn the TV volume to 35 to hear it (I have a severe hearing problem). I can hear it fine at 15 with my hearing aids ($3,200 each). With TV ears, I turn the volume to 9 and can hear the TV better than I can with my expensive hearing aids. Since I control my own volume, my wife can set the TV to her own comfort level and I can adjust my volume to match her preferred level. This is the first time in 10 years that we can watch TV comfortably together.

One person criticized the cheap earpieces. Of course they're cheap because they're disposable. You can buy a 5-pack for $20. I would much rather have a clean disposable earpiece covering than a filthy high-quality permanent earpiece covering.

Those criticizing this device are not using it correctly.

I will probably buy another mike, another base, another set of ears (this time with the optional input jack and a mike I can put in my pocket). I suspect I save 4-6 hours of hearing aid use per day with TV Ears. A over $6,000 a pair this investment will pay for itself if it extends the life of my hearing aids a month.

Pros:

1. No installation, use the mike.
2. Portable. Since there's no installation, it's easy to move it from place to place or take it with you traveling.
3. Loud. I cannot max the decibels. It's too loud. My earing aids are maxed out and my doctor tells me I've reached the hearing aid limit.
4. Buy the pro headset and you can attach cell phone, Ipod, telephone, computer, and external microphone adapters.
5. Disposable ear piece covers

Cons:

TV Ears explanations are bad. I wish I had purchased the professional version for the external attachments that are possible but didn't know about them. Their web site does not explain the benefits of the external speakers well.
