Personal Amplified Listener
Overview
The Amplified Listener picks up ambient sounds and amplifies them
for easy listening. Take the Amplified Listener with you on field trips to
enhance nature’s sounds. Or, use the Amplified Listener to increase the
sound level while you watch TV or listen to music without disturbing others.
Low-Noise Amplifier –
boosts the microphones’ signal and sends
to earpiece.

Lightweight Compact Design –
easily carry the amplifier
anywhere.
Hi Boost –
boosts the sound of high frequency (3 KHz) to
compensate for the ear’s limited sensitivity.

(especially your own voice) for more comfortable hearing.
