How Many Of You Have Ever Tried The Ear Amplifier That They Advertise On T.V.?

Here's the thing about those things.... They show a woman in a crowded Bingo hall wearing one, presumably to better hear the caller. But, let's say the volume of the caller's voice is a 1 and the background noise is a 2. Now, you put a gadget in your ear that amplifies sound by 3 times. That makes the caller's voice a 3 and the background noise.... a 6. Much larger difference between 3 and 6 than there is between 1 and 2, isn't there? At least, that's the way I see it. It's kind of like when you see those bad sci-fi shows about the dangers of mind reading. You can't make it focus on one voice - you get to hear everything, just louder than it was before. We used to have one that only amplified the television. It was a long time ago, but if I remember correctly, you plugged the cable (satellite/antenna) into the remote transmitter thingy and then the transmitter plugged into the TV where the cable normally would have been. Then you had big awkward headphones that worked like a radio controlled car or whatever, receiving a signal from the transmitter. Then you turned a dial on the headphones to make them louder or softer. I hated them.

You can actually hear what others are thinking about you? And I thought I had a problem, I don't need one of those to now what others think about me. As a matter of fact, sometimes it is very hard on myself knowing what others think. It is not always very nice. And then to get one of those amplify? Does not sound like a good idea. I remember years ago in Holland I ordered one of those hearing aids. Figured I would be able to hear better, and it also swore you could hear people in the next room. What a waste of money that was. There was interference in it a lot. But, then again this thing your talking about is different. Is it not violating peoples privacy??? But, I cannot imagine it can really let you hear what others are thinking about you??? Is this really true, can it??? Take care, happy mylotting.

I had one of those things and let me say, you are right! It makes EVERYTHING louder! I used mine in a restaurant and I heard all the clinks of glasses, the thumps of feet, the clearing of voices, the coughing, snorting, laughing, the finger licking, the nose blowing, chairs scrapping, the silverware dropping, the kitchen help yelling, kids fussing, plates slapping on tables, salt shakers tipping over, eggs frying, TV news going, the russel of papers, change hitting the tables in tips, the cash register opening and closing, opening and closing etc. etc., BUT I barely heard my friend talking to me from across the table because of all the noise!

all hearing aids amplify that is their job, it is for people who are hard of hearing, they need things louder without making people shout. I am sure there is an adjustable volume control, but I have never needed one though.

I might not like what they say about me, but maybe I really want to know who's stabbing me in the back...
