Worth What I Paid
After losing a hearing aid, I bought this device to help tide me over until I am ready to spend big bucks for a replacement.  I tried it in a small-group meeting of ten people, and I could hear everyone fine.  I've been using it in watching t.v.--so as not to blow my wife away with decibels--and I am satisfied with its performance in that regard.  I avoided the earpiece pictured with this unit here, since it looks clumsy, and got one with a simple earbud and a headset.  Haven't tried the headset, but the earbud is comfortable and works fine.  I'd bet that a lot of competing products are simply junk, but I find this one to represent value representative of the cost.  At least it's worth the money for me, even though there is no substitute for a good hearing aid except another good hearing aid.
