Customer Reviews of Magni Ear Plus Sound Amplification System
Customer Review: Angel Sales Magni Ear Plus
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted to write this review for people who have a small to normal ear canal. This hearing aid is way too big. Although it is nicely made and does work, it will not stay in your ear despite the different size ear cushions. I wouldn't mind the size but it sticks out of your ear way too much in addition to not staying in. I did order the Walker's Game ITC Ear Ultra Ear (Pair) and they are much better. They will stay in your ear. Just a note on these though the volume control is very hard to manipulate but they will work and stay in your ear.
It's difficult to order hearing aids online but if you are looking for something cheap instead of thousands of dollars it's worth it. I am looking for a mini hearing aid still, one that will stay in your hear and yet not show on the outside. If any of you hearing aid manufacturers are reading this I hope you will sell something like this here on Amazon.com or if any customers are reading this and have found something cheap like that, please post, thanks!
Customer Review: Dangerous & Waste of money!

This stuff just doesn't work! I got this for my dad to try after seeing it advertised everywhere (tv, fliers inserts). My dad has fine hearing but wanted to be able to 'boost' sound for tv, phone conversations, etc. For $16 you get the ear piece with spare batteries and brush. I tried it on myself to see how well it works.. no surprise, it doesn't. It has crappy construction and is very inconsistent. You do hear amplified sound from your surroundings but in a muffled kind of way (kind of like when you plug your ears and hear yourself talk). The volume dial doesn't always work, sometimes it turns volume up, but other times nothing happens. Occasionally meddling with the dial produces a sharp, high pitch sound which cannot be good for your hearing. This looks more like a toy than a real hearing aid, but what do you expect at this price. Still I didn't expect the product to be harmful to your ears. Even with a refund, I'm still out the s/h fee. This stuff can be hazardous and should really be banned!Customer Review: Excellent AMPLIFICATION system!

After both of my hearing aids were damaged beyond repair, I could not afford new ones. I needed something so that I could continue to work. I bought these to use in the interim of getting new digital aids. After carefully reading others' reviews, I was ready for anything.
I was pleasantly surprised by how well they worked! They are slightly uncomfortable (especially compared to my personally-molded hearing aids) but more than worth the price! They do amplify ALL sound and cannot "cancel out" ambient noise like digital hearing aids can. But they work beautifully for me!
Word to the wise: these are AMPLIFIERS, not hearing aids. My husband wanted to try it on and was quite surprised at the difference in sound through the amplifier. It sounds the same as my first experience with an aid; it seems as if everything you're hearing is coming through a microphone.
Customer Review: Not much good for voices

I didn't expect a lot, so I can't say I'm disappointed, and this might work for some things. For instance, if a person was profoundly deaf and couldn't hear a knock at the door, the beep of the microwave oven, or a car honking at them as they wandered through traffic, this would probably make a real difference.
However, for speech it doesn't help, at least in my case. It actually does amplify the speech, but if you can't read lips it will be hard to understand what's going on... sounded so distorted that if I listened with my eyes closed and my finger in my "good" ear, I couldn't understand anything being said around me. I could tell they were talking, but that's all. I think this may give the illusion of hearing better, since there IS sound coming out of it, but for understanding speech it isn't useful.
Customer Review: If this works like the reviews I have read it will be GREAT!

I bought 2 state of the art hearing aids from beltone some 6 years ago at the cost of $2,300 for both. one got broken in my pocket and the other stopped working . So I took it to a beltone dealer and he looked it over then called the main company it seems the opra model I had gotten had been discontinued for months prior to me getting them looked at. When I got them they were a new line and now they can't fix them this really stinks since they were a new line when I first got them I will never recomend Beltone to anyone just because of my experance with them. I can't wait till the ones I just ordered get here . I spent enough on what was suposed to be execlent quality that a reptibale company won't stand behind there $2,300.00 hearing aids screw them !
