DELLONA High-Performance Hearing Aids for Seniors, OTC Rechargeable Hearing Aid for People with Severe Hearing Loss with Intelligent Noise Reduction (Pair), 4 Modes - Comfortable Hearing Aid devices for elderly, Over The Counter Hearing Aids

My history with hearing aids began 30 years ago with $5,000 tiny in-ear custom molded and fit by an audiologist hearing aids. They were fabulous until I destroyed one in my garbage disposal by accident (don’t ask). Then I decided to try the less expensive $250 over the ear clunky hearing amplifiers and, while I had to let my hair grow a bit to hide them, they worked almost as well as the expensive ones. They used the replaceable #13 batteries and I liked that much better than the rechargeable devices because I always had extra batteries with me. If a rechargeable ran out of power, I was in a fix. In today’s world, it is nearly impossible to find aids with replaceable batteries so I decided to try the rechargeable. Note that I paid $69 for this order and I received 2 LEFT ear hearing amplifiers. That was fine for me because I am completely deaf in my right ear so now I have a back up. I noticed that the price on the pink ones I ordered was increased immediately after I placed my order. I’ve only worn these for 2 days so I will return to edit my review after I’ve worn them longer. I will mention that the tubing is very short which is perfect for me because I usually need to trim the tubing but for a wearer that needs a longer tubing, you may have to buy that separately. I love the pink color so I can tell which ones are my newest since all my others are the basic flesh color. I am not crazy about the direct charging plugged into the bottom of the aids in fear of cracking the aid when inserting it. I prefer to have a case that charges the aids. I really cannot tell a huge difference in the Mode levels except the first and the last which are distinctly different and useful in a noisy restaurant or crowd. Is it worth the money? Yes. Are there better ones available? Sure. But, for the price, these are adequate and help tremendously. Follow up: I’ve been wearing these for 10 days now and I am blown away with the amount of amplification and clarity of sound. They are comfortable and I love that they have an on/off switch to preserve the battery. I have increased my review from 4 stars to 5⭐️ stars! Well deserved.

These hearing aids are priced well, they work fantastic. It takes a little getting used to being able to hear again, when I first put them in even the sound of crinkling paper was something that I never really heard before. I found that pushing the button in the center Reduces all of the background noise and even with a significant hearing loss problem I can hear everything for the first time they do take some time to get used to because when you first put them in everything will seem loud to you. The batteries last a long time , I would give these at least five stars and six if I could. The only thing is adjusting the volume when you have them in your ears is a little dial on the top and until you get used to adjusting the volume when they’re in your ears. It can be a little difficult , I would recommend these to anybody that has significant hearing loss like I do. Even if you have mild Hearing loss, you can turn the volume way down to one or less, and they would work for you as well. The comfort level I guess would depend on whether you’re used to having glasses or earbuds or something else laying just behind your ear.

UPDATE: These hearing amplifiers only lasted a year, and I paid SIXTY DOLLARS for them on Amazon. You can get them for $18 on Temu. Let me first say that these are HEARING AMPLIFIERS. They are not hearing aids. They have some noise cancelation, but it is not the best. Their volume is incredibly good. They amplify everything, and it can be a little disorientating for my father. My fathers hearing was getting so bad that we literally had to shout in his face for him to hear us. He was getting upset, and depressed, that he couldn't hear. The television was always blaringly loud on 50 - 80 volume, and he still couldn't make out normal conversation. Sadly, we are a low income family with Free Healthcare from Affordable Healthcare Act. They do not cover hearing aids, so we would have had to pay over $3000 for a pair of them for my father. Knowing this, I purchased this amplifiers due to how good their reviews were, and I was not disappointed. Now my father can hear us speaking to him in a normal voice, he can talk on the phone, listen to the tv at low volume, and even hear us talking in another room. However, they AMPLIFY EVERYTHING. Every little sound, plates hitting the table, the dog barking, crumpling up paper, et cetera. So they take some getting used to. He takes them out while washing the dishes, or doing loud things like vacuuming or mowing the lawn. But otherwise, he loves and enjoys them, and I would buy them again if they broke or got lost. Their noise cancelation of background sounds could be better. But that's something that has to advance with technology over time.

I have severe hearing loss and these over the ear amplifiers have definitely helped me. I am sure there are more sophisticated brands available but I simply couldn't afford. We'll packaged and good instructions. My biggest challenge was trying to find the right silicone tip for my ears. I ended up using two different sizes to fit my ears tightly so I didn't get all the feedback and squealing. I had to try different volumes and modes for me that suited my likes. I ended up with volume 2 and mode 2 for both ears. They charge easily and so far they seem durable. Seems odd but, you do need to let your brain "remember " sounds that you have forgotten such as a cat purring and water running and wind chimes in the yard. I watch TV and a much lower level and sometimes turn off closed captions because I don't miss many words anymore. I can actually hear noises and voices from another room. Great value at $30 per ear. I was impulsive and purchased another set for backup. My hopes are these amplifiers will last a year if I am careful handling and cleaning. My only small disappointment is that I miss the bass and they have high pitch treble and I can control some by putting in mode 3 or 4. So hopefully my review might help someone else make an informed decision. Reviews are helpful for me when making purchases. Just be patient and try different settings.

Package arrived on time. One of the two devices came in with power switch on causing the battery to have been COMPLETELY dead and as the Li-Ion batteries should not really fully deptete to die, it has been on charge for many hours and still the green LED does not turn off on that one while ther one is fully charged and ready to use. I hope this is not a permanent damage.... we shall see.

The quality of the sound is great they amplify the sound loud and clear without giving me a headache light weight and slim not bulky and wide, i was concerned about the connecting tube being noticably visible because in the picture they look like they are white but when I got them they are clear tubes and not noticeable.

Very low quality, have to wiggle the charging cable to get it to charge, and only comes with one cable which is only 6" long so you have to charge each one separately and it has to hang in mid air due to the length of the cable, very displeased with these hearing aids

Adjusting to fit both ears is easy, just an easy twist of one at the "ear hook" into the correct position. getting the proper fit of the earplugs is a little trickier but not hard. The batteries had more than enough charge in them I could give them an evening of trial then when it was bed time, I hooked them to their included charger for overnight full charge. Once have tried the controls, easy to operate and fine tune. I'm super impressed! Hearing sounds I haven't heard for years, if ever, having normal conversations without asking others to speak up is so pleasant and pleasing. I did need to play with the earplugs, trial and error thing, to get the correct fit. For hearing amplification, just what I needed and I'd buy again.
