Williams Sound PockeTalker Ultra Duo Sound Amplifier with Headphone & Earbud, Year Supply of Batteries

My father has very poor hearing and he can actually hear and participate in conversations. My father has some dementia and he continually fidgets with hos hearing aids, making them inoperable. This brand was recommended by a physician who works in a memory assessment unit in a hospital. This product has been a real blessing for my father.

This. has met all expections. A friend tried my .unit and threw up her hands exclaiming I CAN HEAR NOW/. She bought one

Plug on long cord won't bstsy pluged in

This is s great produce for the elderly for hearing. Well worth the money. Highly recommended

Product as described, arrived on time, no damages, easy to do business with, great seller.

Product works well but headphones are uncomfortable and don't fit properly. Included single ear bud is flat and doesn't stay put. I had to order better headphones from a different supplier.

I rarely write any reviews, but this product was so life altering for me that I feel I must let others know of my experience. I have a Dad who will be 102 this coming August. He started going deaf in his late 80s, and it has been my great sorrow that for the past decade or so, despite having the best hearing aids that money could buy, our interactions were limited to very short, mundane, routine conversations. I could no longer share my life, or funny stories, or anything meaningful with him because he just could not hear me. He said the hearing aids were loud enough but they distorted everything so much that he couldn't make the words out. So he stopped wearing them. His hearing reached a point that for the past 6 months or so, the only way to communicate with him was to sit right next to him, and every time I wanted to say something, I would have to rise up from my chair, bend over, and speak directly, loudly, and slowly about 3" from his right ear. After about 4 months of that (I visit him every day for an hour or so), I developed a very painful case of Piriformis Syndrome (you may have to look that up, I did.) The piriformis is a muscle in your butt that if overworked in a short period of time like I was doing with every visit with Dad, becomes inflamed and contracted and is really quite excruciating and debilitating. Anyway, I knew I had to stop the activity that was causing it, which meant that the only way I could talk to my Dad was to STAND next to his chair, and lean over slightly to talk into his ear. No more sitting and jumping up to utter every word. This was very uncomfortable for both of us with me looming over him, and meant that my visits became limited to about 20 minutes or so because I, who am no spring chicken, just couldn't stand for that long. So that meant that poor Dad was even MORE cut off and isolated (I am the only family that he has left, so I am his only visitor). After a couple weeks of these uncomfortable, abbreviated visits, through a coincidence, learned of the PockeTalker. Out of desperation, I decided to give it a try. I cannot tell you how life altering it has been! Now when I visit Dad, the first thing I do is put the headphones on him, hit the recliner ACROSS the room from him (because the long wire was included with this purchase), put my feet up, turn the volume of the PockeTalker to about 3 (it goes to 10), and sit comfortably and talk and talk and talk to my Dad like I haven't been able to for the past decade plus! I don't have to yell, I don't have to slow down my speech, I don't have to lower my voice to a timber that is more agreeable to him. I can talk almost normally. We can actually sit and just chat! I wish I knew about this thing in 2006 when Dad first moved from NJ to upstate NY to be closer to me....there were so many things that I wanted to talk to him about but just couldn't because he couldn't hear. If you are undecided about buying this product, DO IT! It will give you your loved one back! Thank you Williams Sound PockeTalker for making my and my Dad's life so much better!

We ordered this for my husband’s stepmother who refuses to wear hearing aids. They had this exact model in the hospital and loaned it to her while she was there recently. She was thrilled with it and so excited to get her own device. However, now that she’s home and has had it awhile, she doesn’t enjoy wearing it because the earphones don’t stay put on the head and the earpiece is not comfortable. I don’t know what we can do about that. She also has trouble with the static nature of it in the earpiece. But it’s still a handy device considering how terribly hard of hearing she is. She can at least hear a conversation again. And we don’t have to shout.
