Bellman & Symfon Maxi Pro Bluetooth Hearing Amplifier with Headphones - Rechargeable Digital Hearing Aid for Seniors - Wireless Cell Phone Connectivity - Perfect for TV Watching, Phone Calls & Social Gatherings

A group of us went together and bought the sound amplifier for one of our friends. She had just a bit of hearing loss before a medical “professional” prescribed a medication for a bladder infection. This medication left her profoundly deaf in one ear and with a significant hearing loss in the other ear. She was always the life of the party; but had become very withdrawn since she couldn’t hear.Once the amplifier arrived, I went to my friend's house to help her set up her new audio device. The set up went well. It is quite effective since she has profound hearing loss, especially in one ear. Her hearing aids (quite expensive) are rather ineffective in enabling her to hear, even one on one.When she first put on the amplifier, she could hear! I moved further away from her and she could still hear.A couple of suggestions: the fact that the unit needs to be charged should be displayed in a prominent place. We were both disappointed that we needed to submit the unit to a rather lengthy (our choice on that) charging and couldn’t set up the amplifier system until the following day.You might consider marking each of the connecting cords, too. The graphics in the pamphlet are fine, but usually these will be older folks setting up the device and if the cords are clearly marked, it will help. I marked my friend's cords (especially the charger which she'll need often.) The TV connections were pretty simple; however, they, too, could be done more graphically.A bit of background: I am a retired preschool teacher - retired in 2012. In the early 2000's a child was placed in my classroom. He had a profound hearing loss and had just been given a sound amplifier similar to your product. This child was 4-years-old. The unit was rather large and bulky, but he was so happy to hear. The unit clipped to his belt. Because of the size, it inhibited his movement somewhat.I was never able to follow up what happened with this child. His parents enrolled him in a special school after a few days. But when our friend suffered her hearing loss, I was reminded of this little boy, went on line to see what developments had occurred since I had taught him. I was delighted to find your product.
