My husband is completely deaf in one ear and some hearing loss in the other. Would he only need l??

If he's completely deaf in one ear, I don't think ANY device can help. I'd buy only one hearing assistance device.

I would think that he would need only 1. I have hearing loss in both ears and find it hard to use 2 hearing aids, as it may be because I am not use to it, and it throws me off balance. I would try one at first and if you think 2 would work better then try 2

You need just one. Please note that this device is OK for occasional use. Shouldn't depend on it if you really need a hearing aid.

I also have the same question as the first couple of posts. My husband is hearing impaired and it is hard to watch TV with him having the volume so loud. So, if we have our TV hooked up to a reciever and get him a wireless head set and hook the head set up to the TV will we both be able to watch TV and each be able to control the volume to suit each of us?

i didnt pick a specific ear when ordering. My father only needed for one ear and it worked fine. It is still working great.

Assuming that both ears are in the mild to moderate category, itd be best to fit the weaker ear to balance the sounds. If one of your ears are more severe to profound, fit the better ear. Our device is not recommended for those with severe or profound hearing loss and we ask that you seek a medical professionals opinion on hearing aids.

I think it would depend on the size of his ear. My ears are small and I can use the hearing aid. If I am wearing my reading glasses, sometimes the part on the ear falls down but doesn't come out of my ear, so no big deal. The advantage of hearing outweighs other things.

I have two but I am only using one on the worse ear. I haven't tried using two.

Joan, my wife, has ahearing aid and has no ,trouble using the phone. However, this may not be true with every hearing aid. Joan's is a Costco hearing aide.

I guess it depends on how loud he's actually speaking, how light a sleeper you are, and how far in you are willing to press in those earplugs (lol). Personally, I must be a very light sleeper, because even if my husband is just sleeping with his mouth open and hasn't even BEGUN to start snoring yet, it wakes me up. So, I find I have to really press a wad of these wax-like earplugs into my ear enough to block out even light sounds. As I've said before, tho', these are the ONLY earplugs that have worked for me in many years for heaving snoring (plus, it seems that the older I get, the less soundly I sleep). I hope they will help you filter out your husband's nighttime story-telling!

I have to change my husband's about once a week due to wax build up. The hearing aids do not work if the wax guards need changing.

Hi, sorry to hear about your husband. The controls on these headphones are on the right hand side, if he has use of his right hand he should be able to get along fine. I hope this helps. B

I would say no depending on the hearing aid-in-ear or over-ear. The great thing about amazon though, if it doesn't work, send it back!

My husband says, "Yes". He says when he stops taking it the tinnitus gets worse. I have allowed him to run out a few times....now keep the back-up bottle on hand.

This device did not work at all for my husbands hearing. It was unable to pick up any sound that he could hear. Wish the product would of worked for us.It is not broke that we can tell. Just not able to perform as was expected.

My hearing loss is pretty bad. what I have done is place my timer on the countertop with nothing close by to absorb the vibrations, and therefore I can hear it just fine even with the wife listening to TV.I tested the signal while in the bedroom and was able to know it was running. It is small enough to put in my pocket if there are several people talking at once.

There is a hearing aid for one ear only. The eight pieces refer to the spare batteries and three different sizes of ear pieces.

Hi Kim(: My husband could stand to have a hearing aid but he won't get one. He had no problem with hearing the ringer on his Boulder. In fact, I'm going to order him another as his was ran over by the lawn mower. (:
