Only if there are no other complication m like loss in certain frequencies. This device only amplifies what it hears. and does not distinguish between other things.

i purchased this for my father. I cannot say how it will work for you, all i can say that my dad is happy he has to sometimes take it off when he is at the mall or in the car because it grabs all sounds so sometimes it sound like static or very loud you know and as others that have purchased point out it is an amplifier so sometimes things can get very loud. the only thing i would say it a little bad is battery life. for the price i would invest the $$$

As far as I know as long as the hearing aid has a T-coil setting it should work

I have partial hearing loss in my left ear. I use the amplifier in my left ear and it does pretty good. the only problem I have is the need to constantly adjust the volume, depending on my surroundings. It aslo goes through batteries rather quickly.

It depends. I wear glasses, too. If you have big ears like mine are... Perhaps, it's a case by case thing. Try it out. If you don't like, the customer service is good. They'll work with you.

Yes , it does work for the seriously hearing impaired. My Mom is almost completely deaf and wears no hearing aids . She is able to enjoy watching TV once again. It is comfortable to wear and the sound is excellent.

Sorry - I don't know. I did not keep the hearing device. It just wasn't working for me!

My hearing impairment is from central auditory. My hearing is good but I can't filter out sound. Hearing aids don't help with my impairment but I can hear music more clearly because this unit bypasses the ears and I can actually understand the words to the songs. I just wished they were a higher quality.

yes it should but it wont give you the sound your looking for..... Go with a better EQ!

I think it can if the hearing aids have blue tooth. call Oticon technical assistance at 1 800 526 3921

Being that I don't wear a hearing aid, it's hard to say if this phone would work for someone that is hearing impaired. The speaker is adjustable, but I can't adjust it while I'm on a call. For this reason I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you get a really good deal on it.

If your hearing aids have Bluetooth and a t coil channel, they should work. With Amazon's liberal return policy, try it. I love mine. Hank H

It works for me. Volume may be an issue if you have the volume control limited.

This was the reason I purchased this product - for better clarity of dialog vs the background music, etc. Did it help? Yes it did. Will it work for you? That would depend on the severity of your hearing loss, and to some extent what you are viewing. I think you will see a noticeable improvement, but it won't be 100% better. One other thing to consider - there were other models of this same product, although more expensive, not sure if going for a better one would equal higher satisfaction. I would go for it. I don't regret the purchase at all .Hope this helps!

Yeah, shouldn't be an issue. The 90db sensitivity should be enough for most purposes.

I suppose it is okay. By that, I mean that as a back-up aid, you get what you pay for. I do not have tinnitus, and use digital hearing aids, which are expensive I know, but much better. This aid will allow you to hear normal conversation. Don't crank it up too loud, because then it might be obnoxious in your ear. There is a volume level on it. Use that to shape what you are hearing. Remember: the width of it is like wearing a 2X4 in your ear, resting on your ear ridge. This makes it uncomfortable for me to wear. The picture on Amazon of the unit does not do it justice. Try to look at the aid from different visual perspectives: side, front and back. You'll see what I mean. A good audiologist will tell you what he thinks and may recommend something else. Although in my review I did not slam this device, it is useful in a pinch. Good luck! Hope this helps!

It does help somewhat but not a lot, because the microphone is not where the phone speaker is. But it will improve your hearing a small amount.

Yes, if your hearing aids are equipped with a T-Coil. Ask your Audiologist.
