I did try the songbirds a few years ago. I thought, they're cheap, so I should give them a try. As most have posted, they are simply an amplifier and might not help you at all. For my hearing loss, they were not the best fit, but what they did do, however, was convince me that I needed some sort of hearing device.

I finally purchased a proper set and for the cost, I thought they should have come with a steering wheel! The $1500 from insurance, that was mentioned, was not even enough for one ear. That said, I did get the top of the line, at the time.

Hope this helps.... If you're not sure a hearing device will help you, a trial of the songbirds will help you make up your mind.
