A Review of the Songbird Disposable Hearing Amplifier
The concept behind the Songbird disposable hearing amplifier is for those that have mild to moderate hearing impairment or hearing loss. They can get a less expensive alternative to the pricey hearing aids that are custom fit.
For those that are hard of hearing, it is meant as a hearing amplifier that may be tossed away and acquired new rather than having frequent office visits and charges to maintain. Rather than $1500-$3000 per hearing aid, the customer pays under $100 every couple of months for a “new” hearing aid. After testing, it provided service that was better than other over the counter non fitted hearing impairment aids.
For those looking out for a brief fix for a hearing loss problem, this would truly work. The feedback issues do resolve themselves while the hearing amplifiers are taken out of the ear before volume adjusting. It does amplify everything though and will not replace digital hearing aid technology for having only particular tones amplified. The hearing aid comes sealed in a foil pouch that is not to be opened until the wearer is prepared to start using the hearing aid. Exposure to the air is meant to be what makes the battery last a shorter than batteries in a sealed unit but the can still last 3 months.
