TweakTweak Focus+T OTC Hearing Aid Device With Programmed Listening Modes For Personal Sound Volume Control | With Personal Accessories Kit Included (Beige Single)

I have used a Tweak Focus for a year and a half. I have only moderate to light hearing loss, but I have trouble with voices in noisy environments, so I bought two. One gave up after a year. The other is still going well. I replaced the defective one with the Tweak Focus +. It was just as good, but it failed after only a short time. Same with its replacement. I was disappointed. I bought another product and found that its volume overwhelmed my ear.I like the two microphones. It can really help to block out noise behind me sometimes--not always. Volume controls are effective.I suppose that any hearing device takes some getting used to. That is the case for me, for sure. I will purchase another Tweak Focus for my better ear. Time will tell.I am glad that I have bought insurance for electronic devices.I looked for the Tweak Focus, but could only find the Tweak Focus +. I do not need the plus, but it is not a hassle. I am wondering if this device is soon to be discontinued totally. A shame.I said that the Tweak Focus is not of good quality because they have not all held up for me. Reviews that I read before purchase said the same.

About 7-8 years ago I knew I needed hearing aids in order to continue working in a hospital. Went to an Audiologist, found out I had significant loss in the higher tone ranges. I was fitted with $6000 behind the ear hearing aids that were bigger, bulkier, and not as comfortable as these Tweak amplifiers. Plus they had a fitted set of vented "domes" that completely filled my ear canal. They were horribly uncomfortable and drove me crazy. Every little noise at work was amplified as if two railroad boxcars had smashed together right in front of me. I could hardly wait to get in my car after finishing my shift and yank them out of my ears , Sometimes I had to just sit in silence for several minutes to "decompress". I hated them. Since they were essential to my work I also bought a pair if OTC "hearing aids" online for about $300 as spares and was chagrined to find out they worked almost as well as my expensive ones, although they were also bulky and had uncomfortable domes. After retiring five years ago I just stopped wearing my hearing aids, but my poor wife suffered as she had to repeat everything she said to me at least once, and we found it necessary to both almost shout to each other, her because she had to for me to hear, and me because it just came with not hearing myself talk well enough to realize I was speaking so loudly. Life became increasingly less fun as I could not hear conversations with friends or understand my grandsons, but I just dreaded wearing those hearing aids. I started looking at OTC hearing aids again several months ago in the hope that I could find something that worked for me at a reasonable price. I narrowed it down to three widely highly reviewed units, including these Tweak amplifiers, which got the nod because our Church now has telecoil and the Tweaks I bought are +T equipped. Let me start talking about the Tweaks by saying that I would not now buy any unit that does not have telecoil capability. These Tweaks are just fabulous but the cherry on the icing on the cake was the first Sunday I attended Mass and heard the sermon as if it was broadcast personally to my ears from the microphone. When the Tweaks came several days after I ordered them (thanks for the fast delivery!) I was amazed at how small, light, and comfortable they were. I was skeptical that such a little unit could work well, and also was certain that I'd have to instill the domes and suffer having them in my ear canal for the units to work well. But I was wrong on all counts. The minute I slipped them in my ears (they almost install themselves it's so easy) and heard my wife's clear, beautiful voice again for the first time in maybe ten years I was thrilled that I bought them. I have now worn them for about two weeks and I intend to keep them and continue to enjoy the best sound amplification that I've had from any of the three units that I have owned. The sound is clear, crisp, and just perfect. I find that they have plenty of volume, and the "noisy environment" setting is perfect for helping to hear what needs to be heard and dampening out was doesn't. And again, the telecoil benefit is the bomb. Batteries seem to last six or seven days, and I couldn't be happier with these Tweak +T units, and think they are a real great value.If you think you might benefit from something like the Tweak sound amplifier I strongly recommend that you give them a risk-free trial. I'm sure glad that I did.

I bought this for my 94 year old mom. It worked fine about 5 separate uses. Then stopped working. Replaced the battery and it was no help. Very disappointed. Don’t see anyway to complain to company. Finally found a way to contact the company and they were no help. Waste of money.

Its not too bulky but not the smallest I have had. The sound is clear, crisp and under-standable for the most part but it does not amplify soft noises and does not rival with the hearing aid that I paid thousands of dollars. For this price range it is not bad.

Came quickly but would not funtion.

I purchased two of these separately. When the first one arrived it was not a Focus +T but a Tweak LITE. I returned that one and purchased an actual Tweak Focus + T. I have tried other brands and, so far, this one works best for me. The noise cancellation works well and I can hear my students fairly well. Few people notice I have it on unless I tell them. I will likely get another. The downside is that it has no on/off switch so you have to open the battery door to turn it off.

I have a long history with hearing aids which led me to Tweak. I've been happy with Tweak for 5 years now. Twelve years ago an audiologist sold me my first hearing aids for $3500. In 4 years one of them stopped working and couldn't be fixed. So I went on Amazon and bought a Tweak for $325. Now I had $325 in one ear and $1750 in the other. The performance of both was equally good. Out of curiosity I bought another brand device for about $350 to replace the $1750 one. It worked well, too. What sold me on the Tweak was it's ability to quiet noise in the back and side of you and focus on the sound in front of you. Great for noisy restaurants. The Tweak has 2 microphones, one focused in front and one all around. You just turn off the all around ones and focus on the person you're speaking with in front of you. They allowed me 30-day trials. How could I lose?The size and shape of the cone in your ear makes a difference in how well you hear. Try the different ones that come in your sample pack. I believe the difference in price between Tweak "Personal Sound Amplifier" (PSA) and an audiologist's FDA approved "Hearing Aid" is not the technology but the cost of the audiologist and the approval process. If you have special hearing problems or need personal support, go with an audiologist. Otherwise test the PSA's yourself.
