However, heed this 'Buyer Beware!' (Caveat Emptor) There are many, many fakes and knock-offs out there!! I've been happily using these for years. I am severely hearing impaired but still play guitar and sing in night clubs, usually just jam sessions. If it's an authentic, original Bell & Howell ear amplifier, and most are, it works exceedingly well! Playing in a band, it can serve very well as an ear sound monitor. However, it has NO capacity whatsoever for filtering out extraneous or ambient noises. If you're out in your back yard and you hear crickets in the woods, you're going to hear that CHIRPING, amplified, as well! .. It takes some getting used to, but I've been using them exclusively, in lieu of a "hearing aid," for over 8 years! ( Expensive hearing aids sound as if everybody is on a phone speaker conference call!! Otherwise, I highly recommend this device!! .. FIVE STARS,.. if you get the REAL thing. Be extremely wary of cheap China imitations which have only about half the volume, if they work at all. And, insist upon original sealed packaging! RobertRead full review
