Does using just one amplifier for hearing loss in upper register provide adequate aid; or does it make you feel unbalanced?

I haven't had any difficulty, but then I've had hearing loss in one ear for many years and the only difficulty has been around properly locating the origin of some sounds. No balance problems though!!

I only have one and it doesn't make me feel unbalanced. However, my left ear is fine, it is my right ear that I have difficulty hearing from; so that is the one I have the Lifeear for. But I only wear it when I am around people or watching a movie. I don't wear it all the time because it's voices I have trouble understanding.

Facing into the wind will cause wind noise. No way to avoid it other than turning your head slightly. Background noise will always be there because this device is an amplifier and if there is any background noise in your hearing range, it will be amplified and you will hear it. Using only one aid in one ear will give you amplification on the side the device is located in (ear). That's what it is supposed to do. I think the one big mistake people who suffer hearing loss is that a hearing amplifier (aid) is going to return you back to normal hearing. Such is not the case. The fact that you are able to hear better with such a device is what is important and you must tolerate some small lnconveniences. I think the purveyors of hearing aids lead people on to think they are going to be restored to normal. Forget being normal again. Just focus on the fact that with a amplifier (aid), you can make sense about what people are saying, which is why you sought aid in the first place End of lecture!!

I do, but I have a hearing loss in one ear. My son has one just like it and he doesn't readjust volume going from earbuds to the speaker. For the size and price, it's a great device.

Yes I think so. My motherinlaw wears it. The amplifier fits around your ear with the hearing part inside. Sound maybe muffled by being covered. Hope this helps.

Loud noise (military service) damaged my high frequency hearing and speech is difficult to understand if mixed with background noise. I was told nothing will completely restore the loss and I'm sure other peoplehave different problems and symptoms. The life ear device is a greathelp for me, however, it did take a little while to get comfortable with.I have found there is no problem with wearing it with my right ear only.When driving, it allows me to understand my wife sitting on my right much better. If you have complete loss of hearing in one ear, I see no reason the wear the device for that ear. If you buy the pair that givesyou a spare at reduced price. Hope this helps.

Yes, each tube handles one channel of audio, unmatched tubes will give an unbalanced and most likely annoying sound signature.

The ZVOX 580 does a VERY good job at what it was designed to offer; that is, provide improved sound for listeners with impaired hearing. My wife has 65% hearing loss. This amplifier enhances speech and the lower tones that she can still receive. Frankly, while the amplifier performs well, its primary application is not meant for high-quality sound reproduction (the intended users could benefit little from that). So DTS is not all that important. I suggest you go to the website and read more about the equipment.

The use of the Williams Sound is more effective for people whose hearing aids don't help to communicate because of distortion and and not able to hear words clearly. This gadget is ideal for communicating one to one person in hearing disable individuals where hearing aids are useless. I am candidate for coclear implants as a last resource and with the Williams Sound I am able to have conversations and understand them. I don't think it will be useful for listening TV. I still have to depend on captions or subtitles when watching TV.

I'm afraid I'm not the person to ask. I'm not an audiophile and the only reason we purchased this is for use with our TV. Both my husband I use headphones, but we each need different amplification. This allows us to connect the two headphones and each of us can adjust the volume level to our own comfort. All I can tell you is that we are both satisfied with the quality of the sound. And, believe me, it WILL go MUCH louder than either of us is comfortable with.

I don't know. I use it as a great sound amplifier with my own hearing set ( over the ears type) because the in ear piece supplied with it by Reizen is very poor quality. This is a very powerful amplifier with good quality sound for people like me that have lost a lot of the hearing capability.

Would be plenty and if it it's too much you can always turn the gaindown for more sound control. I have two subs also, and I don't think it's too much personally.

No, the price Amazon shows is for one assisted hearing device. The device can be used for either ear with the included accessories.

Harry, Yes, but note that this product uses the dB(c) weighting, which is "flatter" across the frequencies, and more typically associated with measuring total sound exposure. For your use, the dB(a) scale (which more closely follows the sensitivity of the human ear to different frequencies) might be more appropriate, since I assume the amplification is so the audience can hear. Also, remember that this is only a single reading, and distribution is important for acoustics... particularly amplified ones.

No experience of dizziness, so can't comment on that. I would only add that hasn't cured my Eustacian tube problem, so for me it needs to be constantly applied for recurrent relief of hearing loss. My ENT specialist, because I had some repeat of SOM with effusion, recommended trying the EP rather than repeating myringotomy.

It is an expensive solution. It will give you the boost if your headphones can take it. There are probably much cheaper solutions.

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.

1 works perfect for me. I only use to refrence in mono and check balances and main vocal. I don't see myself ever needing the pair. But do make sure you have a good pair of mains and some room treatment.
