coniler Bluetooth Hearing Aids, Noise Cancelling, Pitch Elimination, 16 Channel In-Ear Digital Hearing Amplifier with Portable Charging Case for Seniors

Three years ago I went through the whole testing thing for hearing aids.They sold me 3,000$ worth of aids that needed batterys every 3rd or 4th day.They did not work for crap unless they were shoved WAY up in. Where they itched like fury.After 3 weeks they got thrown in a bottom drawer where they still are.THIS unit WORKS. I can HEAR my wife.It is rechargeable. gives 15-20 hours use with 2.5 hr recharge. So I set it on the charger when I go to bed at night, put it on in the morning.It remembers settings for mode and volume. I have been using Mode 2 as I get less external noise, better quality on voice which is what I wanted. Reading from the company it should last for 3-5 years before the battery gets weak. Battery's are not user changeable. Which is my ONLY downcheck for this product.Unit comes with a thicker flexible tubing w/ 90 degree fitting. Just needs to be cut to the right length and fit a cup on it. I have been using the smallest cup and just barely inserting it. Then place unit over/behind ear.Frankly I'm impressed. This 110$ unit works better than the 3000$ unit, is rechargeable. Not endlessly having to change batterys, spend money on stupid air battery's.Sound quality is good, it does NOT itch at all, causes no problems, And I can hear.And if I want a nap reach up and hold button for 3 seconds turns it off and its quiet time for nap.I lost my first one (got caught in a dang covid mask and flung into the street someplace.Went and bought 2 more. I won't be without this product again.Simple, inexpensive, easy to operate, no hidden costs. It simply works as it should.Coniler thank you!

The background noise is to loud and over power foreground noise.

No product support! Have returned the one I use for the left ear 4 times. It just quits and will not turn on even though charged. The right one works fine. I have tried using a different charger to no avail and I was hoping the company would respond to the returns but they just keep accepting the returns?

This hearing amp is very good value for the money and an extremely good investment for someone with mild to moderate hearing loss. But there are several aspects to the design that could be improved:1. The packaging is nice - cardboard and plastic with a tight fit to indicate quality. But the tight fit is unnecessary and makes it difficult for some users (such as the one that had to saw the packaging apart) to get the product opened (the user manual gets caught in lip of the box and often need to be yanked hard to open). All the required parts are included - including two different ways to attache the hearing tube to the amplifier and multiple sized earplugs.2. The user manual is more extensive than many other consumer products from China but the product is more complex than most so many crucial issues are not emphasized. The youtube videos and Amazon pictures are useful but again several caveats should be stressed.3. You should try to find the best fit for the tubing and earplug so that there is no gaps in the fit (do it with the amp off). Poor fitting ear plug will produce a very annoying high pitched feedback whistle and cause the user to immediately abandon and return the product. After you find the best tight fitting earplug, it will be physically comfortable, it will avoid high pitched feedback, and it will not fall out.4. More discussion of the controls would be helpful. The power on/off button is straightforward enough but the mode switch (quiet/noisy environment) impact is not clearly explained. The rocker switch for volume is easy to use but the number of positions and approximate amplification is not explained. Understanding these controls better will enable you to get better performance from the device.

Got this for my 97 yr old mother. She previously had a Britzgo BHA220 (https://www.amazon.com/Amplifier-Britzgo-BHA-220-Audiologist-designed/dp/B0194OSS4C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501281981&sr=8-1&keywords=britzgo). She liked the Britzgo but they tended to just stop working after a year, and so thought we'd try something of a little higher quality.For the Coniler:PROS:Rechargeable base *with overcharge protection*Base has room for two aidsUnits sit down easily in the base without having to push or press them inOn/off button on aid turns red when charging, and green when fully chargedNice sound qualitySeems well madeCONS:If the user doesn't have a lot of dexterity they can accidentally turn it off when trying to adjust volumeThere are only two programs which might not serve all needsThe rechargeable battery is not replaceable, so once it's at end of life (15 months or so?) you'll have to buy a whole new deviceDetails...........BASE UNIT: This unit is really nice. The hearing aid sits down easily into the charger without having to press it in or position it perfectly. When it makes the connection, the ON/OFF button on the aid lights up red to let you know it's charging then turns green when charged, which only takes a couple hours. However you can leave it in the base overnight without worry, since it has overcharge protection. The aid will work about 20hrs on a full charge. So pop it in at bedtime... then wear it all day and night until bedtime again. Very convenient and well done!PROGRAMS: It does only have two programs. Program 1 is the "normal" one for every day situations (like at home), and Program 2 is for outside environments with background noise. While the programs are bare-bones, one nice thing is that when you switch programs the device beeps either once for P1 or twice for P2, allowing you to know which one you're in.By comparison, the Britzgo has 4 programs which boost particular frequencies: Low frequencies (P1), mid-range (P2), mid-to-high (P3), and high frequencies (P4). This might be more useful for some people who know what frequencies they need boosting but a big drawback is that the press of the program button on the Britizgo cycles through each program with no indication of which program you are in. For someone who is hard of hearing it can be difficult to tell which frequencies are being boosted, without taking time to really focus in. And if the button gets accidentally pressed, it's a hassle to find the right program again. So while the programs are nice, they aren't exactly simple to use. Kudos to the Coniler on that count, for at least having a beep to tell you which program you're in.TUBES: Comes with two tubes - one for right ear, one for left. So it can be used with either. Also comes with a cleaner.DOMES: Ours came with 2 small, 1 med, and 1 large dome. There is a distinct difference between these domes and the ones that came with the Britzgo. The Coniler domes have a very VERY small sound hole in the center of the dome. Nearly pin-prick sized. The Britzgo domes have a larger sound hole, closer to a thin toothpick. Mom could not hear as well with the Coniler unit until I put the Britzgo dome on the Coniler tube (when I noticed that sound hole was much larger) and now she really likes it and can hear everything. But she wasn't happy before because she couldn't hear good enough. (If the buyer has a dome already from a different hearing aid, chances are it will fit on the Coniler if you feel you need more sound, not more volume.) Domes can also be purchased separately from various places.DEXTERITY: The ON/OFF button is on top of the unit. One long press of 3s turns it on or off. A short press changes the program. The rocker switch is below this, for volume. Both work well. When the volume is pressed either up or down you get a short beep to let you know you've adjusted this. That's a nice feature. However my mother has arthritis in her hands and has lost some feeling in her fingertips as a result, so when she tries to adjust the volume she often accidentally presses the ON/OFF button without realizing it. She has to get used to it. But for comparison, the Britzgo has a separate switch at the bottom that needs to be flipped to turn it on/off, which requires some force, so it's not accidentally activated. However, the Britzgo uses batteries that need to be changed every week or two, so it's also more trouble that way.BOTTOM LINE: Since I've mentioned the Britzgo so much I will say I tried both to test them before giving them to my mother (I have good hearing) and the Coniler has superior sound imo. The Britzgo sounds more like you're in a tin can with a little background whooshing, but the Coniler is quiet and the sound more natural. The Coniler's rechargeable battery and overcharge protection are also top-notch, and saves her from having to mess with tiny batteries and battery doors with her limited dexterity. I do wish the domes had larger sound holes, but that's an easy fix. If the rechargeable battery was replaceable at end-of-life, I'd give it 5 stars. But it comes pretty close, especially for the money. (We got it on sale for $99 for one hearing aid and the base.)I would definitely recommend it.
