Is it illegal to buy a TTY device for someone who isn't deaf or dumb? What about people who practice silence or have occasional headaches from noise?

Illegal is nothing to do for buying a TTY. The deaf and dumb is very inappropriate. No, people do not need a silence for this machine. The hard of hearing and deaf use Captel closed captioned telephone, not TTY. The Captel closed captioned telephone help hard of hearing and deaf better understanding and communication from keeping noise background, but not headaches. TTY is different from closed captioned telephone. TTY is just like typewriter machine. Closed captioned telephone has a message screen by talking on the captel phone.

What I find quiet might not be to someone else. That is a hard question to answer, as it is all in the opinion of the person using it.

Though my husband who bought and uses this device to teach SS weekly is much easier to hear now, he does not have Parkinson's so my answer is guarded. It easily fits over the head and he's not complained about being uncomfortable with it. He only wears it an hour so no all-day comparison to help you with there. The amplifier is not unsightly either and it has made a world of difference when he fluctuates his voice in a large room. I trust that if you found it wouldn't work in your situation, that returning it for full refund should work fine. Amazon has always been more than fair with me there. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. May God be with you if you are the caregiver or the patient.

You could also get him/her a pair of headphones designed just for this - $30 - $50 - that allows one to turn the volume up where the wearer needs it without blasting others in the room or neighbors. Or, you could wear the headphones which will block quite a bit but offer clearer sound. i have worn a lot of hearing protection - sleep with plugs always - and feel that plugs will deliver fuzzy TV sound.

It is just an audio device for listening impaired folks. The one I purchased was cracked in two places of the case but the box was not damaged. This tells me the item was cracked at the factory before distribution. I returned the unit but have not yet settled on an alternative

Yes. We have seen some people using both earplugs and ear muffs together for ultimate silence. However that means that you can't hear anything at all and that can be dangerous all by itself. C2CSAFETY ships same day with the fastest delivery.

Have you tried to adjust the volume of your computer? I didn't have such problem with this device. If you recently purchased this device, and you are having problems with people unable to hear you, you might want to call the manufacturer. I believe Amazon.com may have the toll free number. Hopefully my suggestion helps.

I've taken this into a data center and it works pretty well for the person on the other end, it just eliminates ambient noise so anything that isn't your voice is usually washed out.

If you get your ham radio licences, yes.otherwise it will be illegal for you to use these as walkie talkies.

Yes this works much better then hearing aids, there is no background noise. Both my mother and my husband have one and they can actually follow debates on tv.

It certainly isn't silent - mechanical switches make noise. I'm about 70 years old and my hearing is waning a bit, but I can hear the keys. I'd say they are in the range of 6 on your scale with my hearing.

No, but you can't use it until you are properly licensed. Trying to transmit without a license gets you into serious trouble. You will stick out like a sore thumb and you will be caught.

I have just read the other responders' more negative answers. I can't understand what they are saying. What "Bose device"? What trouble? What standard? There is a mic in there too, you know..! Can anyone of them enlighten me? I am truly interested in how I can get into trouble that I don't know about yet.... It might even help me with my SKYPE problem.

Under the iPhone adapter, there are two selections you can make. Put a pen in the hole *without* the person. I believe that turns off the voice, so you'll just hear a beep.

the sound comes from your computer not the ewi... so yes if you plug in the head phones it cuts off the sound to the speakers...and since there are no moving parts, there is no clicking sounds from touching the keys... it is an instrument all by its self and requires you to practice the difference from changing octives, once mastered there is no end what you can do with the ewi... have fun
