Customer Reviews of Angel Sales PSA 8000 Personal Sound Amplifier
Customer Review: Great starter hearing device
Summary: 4 Stars
This "Personal Sound Amplier" is a perfect starter hearing aide - for the person who is not yet ready to commit to a full hearing aide either in terms of cost or acceptance. It also works well for multiple users such as at the nursing home where I work. It can be use for interviews with seniors or to help them participate in group activites such as exercise groups, social meals, or crafts. Even with those who have severe hearing loss but refuse to wear hearing aides, it can be helpful to avoid misunderstandings and frustration. At this price, we don't even worry about losing the odd one if means independance for someone for a period of time. The easy and cheap battery replacement (AA batteries) also mean we don't worry about having forgetful seniors leave them on and let the batteries go dead. A real sense of freedom and independence with this device!Customer Review: Better than $2000 hearing aides I tried
Summary: 5 Stars
My hearing loss is moderate but severe enough that I cannot hear women's voices across a dining table. I wore cheap earphones with it and could hear everything clearly in a mixed gender group seated around the edges of a 20 by 30 foot room. The battery case can not be closed over the battery; unimportant! The earbuds included are unsatisfactory because they fall out easily; the best of several I tried are by Seinhauser. The earphones that hang on the ear plus the personal sound amplifier made by Cosby are no better than cupping the ear with the hand and asking people o speak up. I tried several other personal sound amplifiers and all were unusable including both from Radio Shack. What is needed is earphones that hang over the ear along with attached earbuds like those mentioned.Customer Review: Not bad

Angel Sales PSA 8000 Personal Sound Amplifier I bought this product for my mother who is 87 years old and has been needing the TV, etc. turned up really loud to hear it. My husband and I were getting headaches, so I thought I would try this. It does work, although you have to expect it will pick up all sounds, background noise, talking, etc. also. It does not differeniate between tv and other noises. But she is enjoying it and so are we. One thing, don't put the ear pieces and the box too close together when on or it will squeal. I am glad I purchased it.Customer Review: A good investment
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a handy little item for people who have trouble hearing other people in small groups. I put it on the table in front of me at a recent meeting of about 7 people who were sitting in a circle. I could hear everyone, even the "whisperers. The sound is a little hollow, like being in a large, empty room, but for my purpose it did just fine. It is a great little helper until you are ready to make the big investment in hearing aids.
I tried it while watching TV; it did not work as well, but it did help me hear two soft speakers in a therapy session. All in all, a good investment.

Customer Review: Waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
I was looking for a product to amplify sounds to an elderly, bedridden, family member. I bought this product thinking that it could be perfect for our needs.
The sound amplifier is very poorly made and worked about half the time. It will emit scratchy sounds and you have to constantly twist the plug in or take it out and put it back in until the sounds stop. Very frustrating to my father. Let the cheap price speak to the quality of the product. I can return to amazon, but still out shipping and handling. TOTALLY A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME.
