 TV Ears didn't work Aug 14, 2008
Unfortunately, the TV Ears did not work. We set them up just like the instructions on the TV Ears website indicated (as they did not arrive with instructions of any kind), charged them for 24 hours, and voila! nothing. The company we purchased them from were very nice and gave us a number to return them, but it still cost over six dollars to send them back. We haven't yet received a refund, but they said we would...
 BEST PRODUCT!Jul 07, 2008
My husband enjoys watching TV once again. He can hear everything. I don't have a hearing problem and I enjoy them also. Some of the movies are garbled, but when you wear these you are able to hear everything. I would recommend these to everyone.
 My new set of earsJun 29, 2008
The TV EARS work just great I no longer annoy my wife with high volume,the only reason it didn't give it 5 stars was because the ear pads are very hard on the ears and starts to hurt after the first half hour, wish they provided a little more padding.

Poor Product + High Price + Costly Upkeep = Bad DealJun 03, 2008
TV Ears, 2.3 MHz, #10341
Poor Product + High Price + Costly Upkeep = Bad Deal
An Audiologist recommended this product to me saying she had "heard no complaints on them". She can't say that any more. This product has not lived up to its "billing" on any particular for me, and judging from some of the other reviews it is certainly not a blockbuster hit for everyone.
I have a hearing "problem" (loss but not Deaf), and have had an expensive Hearing Aid that does not solve my TV/Audio listening problem. Portable Earphones have helped immensely in the past, and this product looked very promising. The documentation is clear and easy to understand.
However, TV Ears Sound Quality is mediocre to poor 90% of the time, and the tone adjustment does not correct that. If you are out of sight of the Transmitter the "Noise Reduction" you get is nothing but loud static, and low level static if you pause the Sound Source when you are "in range". I remove them to deal with this.
The TV Ears Headset itself is uncomfortable mainly due to the Ear Tips that fit into your Ears, and the weight of the Battery dangling below your Chin. They have never been comfortable for me in the 75+ days I've had these things. Several reviewers mention this discomfort but added [it was OK] ".. after I got used to them". Some of these got their TV Ears as Gifts.
Also, these little Ear Tip Devils are high cost (at least to me) & they recommend replacing them every 30 to 60 days. An Optimist (60 days) would pay $19.95 plus S&H for 5 Pair which works out to about $5.00 + every 2 months (or twice that if you're not so optimistic -- or don't wash your Ears often enough I suppose). Note, they do give you a coupon for $5 off on your first Order. Snap Tip Adapters (that the Tips fit over) are $ 8.00 for one pair + S&H with an unknown life-expectancy.
The Battery has a life-expectancy of 1-2 years (depending on what literature you are reading). Replacements are also $19.95 plus S&H.
If you need a hearing assist, you really need it, but TV Ears has not worked for me. I wish I'd had a chance at a "Try before you Buy" program.
I'm going back to my Jensen JW120 (900 MHz) Headphone Set that has a range of 150 feet in any direction with no static, period and Big Time superior sound. And, it uses my choice of very comfortable, light weight, and cheap Radio Shack Earphones. Some times "newer Technology" is not such a good idea. At least for me.

TV Ears...the best!May 27, 2008
This is one of the best gifts I ever bought. My mother is 80 years old with very limited hearing. She cannot tolerate the sound of the tv as the noise is distorted. So for years, my father has been reading the captions. For my dad's 87th birthday I got him the TV Ears. Now he can listen to the tv with the captions on. Everyone is happy! He is enjoying his news programs and sporting events. The headset is light weight and it is cordless and easy to manage. The TV Ears are truely a very useful product!
