" ...  Well, I figured everybody could just speak louder and I would be OK.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I had a problem with one unit, which had the tendency for the sound tube to detach itself from the amplifier unit. ... Otofonics agreed to replace the complete sound tube/amplifier, which they did promptly.  ...  "
comment
" ...  No more "UH's" at work, was able to turn TV down 3 levels, no more complaints from the neighbors of the noise.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Sound is just a little tinny at first but you get used to it.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This is the third hearing amplifier I've tried and it is the best one - there was a note somewhere that said it might not be effective for anyone with tinnitus - I have tinnitus in one ear and am pretty much deaf in it as well and I have no problem with the unit in the "good" ear - it was more expensive than the others, including those I was tempted to purchase but I felt that, if the unit was as good as the reviews, it would be well worth the cost - I was not wrong - I know there is phone suppo  ...  "

" ...  The hearing aids did have a bit more of a "natural" sound, but for my Mom's needs the Otofonix has been just fine (as of this review, she's had them for 6 months). ... but it doesn't take long for her to forget she even has them on and she's happily chatting with someone where previously she would be constantly saying "What?  ...  "
