About
I am a minimalist! So I only acquire things that are useful to me. For items which I have no use (even when they are still in good condition), I will give them away either to friends who need them or to The Salvation Army.

Pocket Talker 2.0 is stylish and compact. It is great for beginners!
The Pocket Talker 2.0 amplifies the sound adequately. Although it has a maximum output level of 5, we find it adequate at 2.5. It comes with a built-in microphone as well as a 12 foot long cable that can connect to the external microphone. The design is stylish and I love the colour white!
The downside is there is quite a lot of noise in the background. So for the user, it can be quite disturbing. Mum uses the Pocket Talker 50% of the time, meaning, she will wear the ear piece for a period of time and after a while, she will remove them from her ears.
When she removed the ear piece, she would not be able to enjoy the TV Programs. As she has dementia, she does not understand why she could not hear the TV sound and she will start to call our names frequently.
For a start, this is a good product since it does not cost S$6,000 - S$12,000 unlike those professional hearing aids. So even if mum decline to use it all the time, it is ok.
