Neosonic Rechargeable Hearing Amplifier to Aid TV Watching and Conversation, Wireless Neckband Headphones for Seniors & Adults, Remote Microphone Noise Cancelling - NW10 Pro

I am a physician who recently purchased this Neosonic neckband for my 100 year older grandmother whose hearing has declined rapidly over the last year. My grandmother had attempted use of hearing aids in the past though was unwilling to use them due to discomfort and "not wanting to look old"(yes, she is a spitfire of a 100 year old). As a completely healthy and active centenarian, her only medical issue has been presbycusis, age related hearing loss. Not only has her inability to participate in conversations been frustrating, but the volume level on the TV has been equally disturbing for any visitors stopping by to see her. After connecting the system and giving it a test run, i stood with my back turned approximately 20-30ft away from her and whispered questions into the remote microphone. Amazingly, she heard every word i said and was able to answer questions and hear EVERYTHING without difficulty. The TV volume level has finally returned to normal at home, thankfully. I am so pleased with this product, i would hands down recommend this product for anyone who needs assistance with hearing. It's comfortable, mobile, and serves it purpose without complexity at a low cost.

My husband loves it. He can hear the TV better with this device than with his regular hearing aids

These work pretty good. I just wish I could get some smaller domes. I have very small ears and I have a hard time finding ones to fit me. what I like about it is when they fall out at least you still have them hanging on.. i’ve had some of those you put the little one in your ear when they fall out you don’t know it and you just lose them.

Ear plugs constantly fall out of ears. Charge wears down faster than expected and become ear plugs. Not the greatest hearing device at all

These hearing aids are amazing. Actually this is the second pair I have ordered for my mother who is 92. The first pair, the left earbud stopped working 🤦‍♂️ so I will be contacting neosonicTo get them repaired. The good news is, being able to have a second pair for backups is totally doable, cost effective, with out breaking the bank. This way my mom dosent have to go with out if the hearing aids break and have to be sent out for repair. It's so important for her to have as much hearing ability as possible 24/7 to help her with partisapating with those around her and using the phone/ TV. we use video calling extensively with her which between the hearing aids and seeing who she is talking to helps emensly with her conversations.One last thing, the remote Mic is a game changer. When we take her out for dinner or to visit a group of friends we use the remote mic, place it in the middle of the table or room and she can hear everyone fairly well. 👍

1) Ear bud take off location on tip of neck piece impacts shirt collars and causes buds to pop out of ears during simple head and body motion (look at better design by Jabee competitive product)2) Control buttons are high on neck piece up under ear/chin area. They cannot be accessed by a care giver or seen by the user. Also, when (my elder parent) attempted to feel and find buttons, the ear buds were typically knocked out (again see Jabee competitive product where buttons are located at center of chest, accessible to a care giver and at least somewhat visible to the wearer when glancing down for those not able to “feel” the control button physical markers).Serious design issues that made this product useless for my elderly parents. The Jabee wearable hearing assist device offers a separate microphone (sold separately) to provide the microphone feature of this Neo device. It has a nice label clip design.Another feature of the Jabee competitive device is it has a phone app that lets you fine tune the device for ones particular hearing issues and select conversation, restaurant, etc. mode. This and location of manual controls at front and center of chest make the device far superior for a caregiver to help the elderly use the device.For me and my technologically challenged elderly parents, the Jabee device put this Neo device to shame.

This product seemed to be the answer to my TV hearing problem. My wife wears hearing aids, but I don't so we had problems finding a comfortable volume for both of us. Since we use a digital cable sound bar with no auxiliary outputs, I could not purchase any unit that relied on plug in. This unit offers a microphone that sits near your speaker and send the signal to the headphones which then amplifies the volume. It came beautifully packaged with a nice carrying case and was a very attractive design. It was light in weight and appeared to be well made. Problem was, it didn't work long.The instructions provided were adequate to get the product setup and working initially, but when I encountered problems, of which there were several, no solution was provided. When you have only two buttons to push and you only need to push one twice for setup, there isn't much trouble shooting to do. After some initial setup problem (my fault) I got it to work for about 15 minutes and it was great. I thought my problems were solved. I then shut it off and when I turned it back on it wouldn't work. After many tries and button pushing, it would not work as designed.There are a couple of other issues which with the unit I didn't care for. The small remote microphone has a sensitive pickup and I got a lot of conversations from people in the room. It was great when the room was silent, but picked up sound and amplified it into the earphone. It was kind of like being in a potato chip bag while it was being scrunched.The unit also has a separate microphone in the head set, but when I tried it in that mode (by accident), it picked up any movement or clothing rubbing against it and amplified that as well.So it's back to the search for an amplifier that will meet my needs.PS: I gave it two stars because it is really a very nice looking unit.
