I have very expensive Swiss made programmable [4 dif. programs] digital hearing aides, but they are generally more aggravation than not for many applications and they are independent of each other, requiring fiddling and adjustment & eat #13 bats.
What I have found is that Northern Hydraulics sells a small cigarette lighter sized amplifier w/a cord and two ear buds, bats included(!) for about ten bucks. It has a volume control on/off switch & a clip so that it may be attached to a shirt pocket or collar. It also has a small unobtrusive blue LED bat indicator light so you may see that it is 'on'. For going to a movie, it is simply great. It also works well for when you may need to have an intermittent need for having a conversation [pardon the wording, but its exact even if it sounds redundant at first*], but you must remember that it is an amplifier and not a hearing aide, so if you have the volume too high and there is a really loud noise, it is going to become REALLY loud, as in painful!
* like keeping in your range bag & using briefly when the "line is 'CLEAR' "
Anyway, thot to mention it for any who may benefit. I've no ties to the seller or maker. The one I have has been in use for over a year; much more 'off' than 'on', but does include three recent full length feature films and many short times for conversations and still has the original bats in it.
edit: I may have this in the wrong place, if so, please move to the correct spot. Thank you.
