Not worth the price if it was free. Background noise distorts sound making it useless. Heard better without it.Product Review: Honest reviewers saved me $$$ - Thx!

Like everyone else, I am looking for an inexpensive yet reliable personal sound amplifier. I am already wary of merchandise from Bell & Howell, as I happen to know that the original company went out of business some 20 or more years ago. The B&H name was purchased, and no longer represents the high-quality electronic equipment that the original company produced. And, once again, my concern about the quality of this item from B&H is confirmed by honest reviewers. Thank you all for your input! :^)Product Review: Not so Silver
Summary: 2 Stars
Was not pleased with this product, there was a buzzing/humming/white noise type sound that was constant. Although it did amplify the sound the noise ruined the effect.
The company I purchased from (Combined Shipping) was awesome to deal with and handled the return transaction very professionally and efficiently. I hope to do business with them again in the future.
Product Review: Not the Best Choice
Summary: 2 Stars
A while back I bought a hearing aid from Beltone for around $900. Later I bought the Secret Stealth and the Silver Sonic XL. All 3 devices have a lot of ambient noise background (wind, fans, traffic noises, feet on the floor, etc.)
The only one I found that does not have a lot of ambient noise amplification (in addition to the desired sound amplification) is called Loud 'N Clear. It's unfortunately not available via Amazon but it works just great. It can be had for around $25. It's not rechargeable like Stealth, but the batteries are inexpensive (312 hearing aid batteries) and they last a long time.
FDA approved hearing aids, like the one I got from Beltone, are a bit of a racket. The manufacturing costs are no more than the $25-40 devices like Stealth or Loud 'N Clear, but because of the FDA label, manufacturers jack up the price a thousand fold.
Try one of these cheaper devices before buying an actual hearing aid. There is really no difference in performance--only price.

I decided to try the Sonic XL just for the hell of it, I figured what the heck, $20. Well I went online and like a previous gentleman wrote, I ended up with two purchased when I just wanted one. They have no way to edit or correct an order. This outfit is pretty awful, I immediately called to correct the order and was told that they couldn't correct it until it had been in the system for 24 hours. I have purchased quite a bit of stuff on the internet and had never been told anything like that. The next day I was traveling so my wife called and, get this, they said so sorry but they have been shipped. Now I am certain that was bs because that was 10 days ago and they have not been received. They could have been packed on a slow mule and been here by now. I am convienced that this company is crooked as can be and they need to be investigated by someone who has some control over "(lack of) Truth in advertising.
I am really getting tired of the bogus ads on line, it seems like they have gotten worse over the last year.
I would not have given them one star if I had the option of no stars!!
