Q: How do you clean this equipment and would this be something used for multiple patients or one patient use?

A: When my father-in-law was in the hospital they provided him with this device using headphones. So I am assuming that they cleaned it between patients and that the foam over the speaker is washable? We quick bought one for him to use when he came home. He likes the earbud better than the headphones.

Q: What is the shipping charge and in case it doesn’t work well for my mom what is the return policy? Thank you for your time! Pat

Hearing with a Heart
Better than a hearing aid for some people. My clients enjoy the sound quality and the ability to adjust the settings to fit their hearing needs.

Perfectly Simply - Absolutely Effective
Williams Sound - Pocketalker Ultra PKT D1 Personal Amplifier: After using the Pocketalker Ultra for a few days I had to wonder if we sometimes over-think solutions to our everyday problems. This small, unassuming, pillbox sized amplifier with built-in microphone can solve troubling hearing problems. The Pocketalker takes a straightforward approach to augmenting failing hearing. It captures room sounds (TV sound, conversations), amplifies them using a rugged plastic box that has an amplifier inside. This gray device fits in my hand (2.25”x3.4”), and delivers the amplified sound to my ears through the provided lightweight headphones or the even lighter earbuds. Couldn’t be simpler. Couldn’t be more reliable. And it is effective. SETUP: Load the 2 AAA batteries (provided), plug in either the folding headphones or earbud, and use the Volume dial to turn on the hand-held amplifier. The on-off switch is also the volume control. The other dial is a tone control, allowing the user emphasize or reduce treble sounds. It’s subtle but I could hear added detail as I spun the tone dial. There is an included lengthy (12ft) cord that allows a user to place the amplifier closer to the TV. PERFORMANCE and SUMMARY: I was just listening to a great streaming mystery which had forced me to use captioning in order to understand the fast, often-times mumbled dialog. Simply turning on this Pocketalker, placing it on the table next to me and setting the headphones on my ears improved my viewing experience. I had my own personal volume control which made the programming seem like it was filling my room even though the actual TV volume was quite low. Williams Sound’s Pockettalker takes the most direct line to solving a situational hearing deficiency. Want to attend a meeting or Bingo night and hear the conversation and call-outs? Clip the Pocketalker to your shirt or set it on the table, and place the earbuds or headphones on your head. Plug the earbuds/headphones into the device. Play with the volume until you’re no longer straining to hear the sound. Problem solved. You’re part of the party. And I’m happy for a solution that doesn’t break the bank.

Portable personal amplifier – Simple & easy to use
Pocketalker is ideal for anyone who has trouble hearing conversations or listening to television and needs the voice amplified to pickup the sound. This personal amplifier is good and provides up to 50dB amplification and features an omnidirectional electret microphone that captures crisp sound with minimum background noise. We got this device for my aging father-in-law who had trouble hearing and always keeps the volume of television at higher level which was little annoying and frustration to my kids. This device has really helped him to hear well during watching movies, televisions, conversing with family members and friends. This device resembles the Walkman device and is portable to easily carry or travel in pockets. It does come with 2 AAA batteries, 12-foot microphone extension cord, lanyard, mini earbud, folding headphone. Battery seems to be good and is advertised for 200 hours of operation. It does have external rotary tone and volume controls for easy and simple adjustments. Pros: Simple setup process, easy travel, portable, longer battery life, good amplification, easy to use, adjustable volume and tone control knobs, 5-year manufacturer warranty, very ideal for television listening or conversing in car or outdoor. Cons: Old design, basic headphones, no USB charging or rechargeable option Overall, this device has made watching TV a breeze and seamless and helps to hear what you want to hear.
