Product Description
Trouble Shooting
If your OTC hearing device is not working properly, more than 95% of the causes will be either obstructing wax or a low/defective battery.
- Wax: The sudden absence of sound from your device is usually the result of wax plugging the ear dome or the tube, It can be very difficult to see, refer to Page 28 for instructions to clean your device
- Battery: Make sure the battery is fresh, If there is any doubt, try a new one, After removing the pull tab, remember to wait one to two minutes before inserting the battery into your hearing aid Old batteries can cause a multitude of unusual sounds such as static, crackling, and chirping
- Whistling: Whistling occurs when the amplified sound returns to the microphone and is re-amplified The most common cause is a high volume setting, It is recommended that you set the Volume Level no higher than 8 and use Program 3, Alternatively, you can use closed style domes which almost always work
- Crackling Sound: A crackling sound may be corrected by opening and closing the battery compartment door, Sometimes this will improve the battery contacts and/or "reboot" the digital circuit
- When an object (hand, hat, person, wall, etc.) comes close to your ear while wearing hearing aids, you may experience whistling, This is normal for all microphones, not just microphones in hearing aids, To limit whistling from your device when changing volume/programs, approach the device from behind your ear rather from the top
- If whistling occurs when raising the volume, you should try closed domes or Zip Tips to reduce feedback and increase amplification
- Excess moisture may be distorting the sound, Using a hearing aid dehumidifier overnight is advised, Replace the tubing/dome if they appear worn
- For optimal performance, tubing and domes should be replaced every three months
Medical studies show that your brain requires approximately 21 days to adjust to your new Hearing Aids

1st 24 hours went well just had to learn to adjust it for the environments I am in at the time. If you have it turned up loud it you will think people are yelling at you. I exercise in the evenings so I remove it during exercise. I know I have some hearing loss.
Update 9/24/2017 The itching has stopped. Got my hearing tested yesterday. Hearing loss in both ears. Ordered one for my left ear. I also ordered from Otofonix the large closed domes for reduced feed back and better amplification of sound. (I do feel they should have enclosed a large closed dome instead of me having to order the Domes from the directly from Otofonix to get full use of the device and this is the reason for 4 stars)
Update 9/25/2017
I really do like this. When talking to someone I can adjust the volume until it is comfortable and not to loud and they just think I am playing with my ear. The weak link is the sound tubes. I would suggest ordering extras and keep them handy. But I suspect if handled correctly the sound tubes will last a decent amount of time. I am going to order 2 of each for the Left and Right ear.
Update 9/27/2017
I am pleased with the one for the Right ear at this point. The one for the Left ear arrives today. So we will see how it works. I did order a hearing aid dryer I will use daily to attempt to increase their life. humidity body sweat and rain water can decrease the life of hearing aids.
Update 9/28/2017
I received the one for the left ear yesterday. My ear canals are two sizes. I have known this for years. I am hearing better I am using the medium closed dome. I hear better with the closed dome if you have a good fit there is zero feed back. I am waiting on my order from Otofonix for my large closed domes I ordered 6 of them to reduce the shipping cost. What I am finding amazing is there has been no itching in my left ear. One thing with the closed dome I am sure I hear better. I am hearing sounds I have not usually heard walking around my office.
I have both set to program 2 Sound Level 4. I am amazed at what I have been missing. Cannot wait to try the large closed dome in my right ear. I am sure it will be a improvement.
According to USPS Tracking the large domes are scheduled to arrive today. So I can give a improved update tomorrow on how they are performing. So stay tuned.
Update 9/29/2017
Well USPS did not deliver the large closed domes. I am disappointed. I understand they will arrive today. One thing I noticed every sound . Including the turn signals on my car is easier to hear.
Update 10/1/2017
Hearing with the large dome are much improved. I am using one in each ear from what I can tell the large domes work better. I do not need a high volume when at home.
Update 10/4/2017
Using Medium closed dome in Left ear Large Closed Dome in right ear. Both set to Program 1 Vol. Level 1. I do not wear at home since I feel my son is yelling when he is not. I just wear now when out of the house. I am getting 8 days off the battery.
Update 10/5/2017
The left battery died after 8 days. Just changed the battery today for the first time.
10/10/2017
I switched to the open Domes over the weekend I believe they are more comfortable. My wife says I am not as loud when I talk now. she says I always sounded mad to people that did not know me. I have been told for 20+ years that I was loud. No telling how long my hearing has been bad.
Update 10/11/2017 The on off switch for these you open the battery door and let the battery hang on the door. Now my battery on one is sticking and has fallen out a time or two. I emailed Otofonix I am waiting for a response to my E-mail.
Response to my E-mail they are going to replace the one with the defective battery door. I just need to ship it to them.
Update 10/10/2017
The replacement arrived with the same issue. I did a simple fix I took a kitchen knife and pressed the battery tab down a little. Works perfect with no problem. I wish they had told me to do that.
Update 10/18/2017
Something I had been noticing and thought it was the PSAH but was not. I was hearing a low pitch beep every morning and could not figure it out. One of my co-workers was in my office and I asked if he heard it. He stated it was from my coffee maker. I did not even know it beeped until I got the PSAH so I really am impressed. Setting are presently at left ear program 1 sound Level 3 Right program 1 Sound level 4 I think this is the ideal setting. Going to change my review to five stars.
UPdate10/20/2018
I put these on in the morning as I head out the door and wear them until I get home. Do they help yes.
Update. 11/20/2017
I am still very pleased with them .I use them more during the week. Not sure how I am doing on Battery life have not really kept track .I know I do not change them that often. But I am very pleased with them.
Update 12/12/2017
I have been using Otofonix since September and they work very well. I can detect a major drop in my hearing when removed. I am Changing batteries about I believe every 7 to 8 days depending on how much I wear them. I forget I have them in most of the time. My wife and son are Loud so I usually remove them when I am home or turn the Volume down a little. But I hear so much better. I have not been out to eat since I got them. But we are having Christmas dinner at a Restaurant this year so I will report how they work in a noisy environment for me. But as of this time I am 100 percent pleased.
Update 12/25/2017
They helped during Christmas Diner with no problem at all. I have reduced the Volume both setting Level 2 and Sound Level 1 in Left Ear and Sound Level 2 in Right ear. My wife and son are both loud but there are time I have trouble hearing them. But if I turn the Volume up I am telling my son to lower his voice. If I need to in public I can always turn them up. Right now I am wearing them 14 to 15 hours a day.
Update 1/2/2019
The left aid died not sure if I am going to purchase them again 300 dollars a year is not a good bargain for me. Going to attempt some less expensive one.
**Update** Poor workmanship. Today the volume dropped to the point that it is no longer helpful to me. I own two of these and thought it was my hearing that changed overnight. But it was the device. I swapped ears and ear tubes and tips and the problem is in the device itself, not the tube or ear tips. The volume loss is about 60%. There is no discernible difference to me with the device in or out.
These PSAP devices are simply poor quality and disposable.
The Otofonix amplifiers arrived quickly, and were easy to set up, mostly based on my prior experience with hearing aids. They were immediately louder and more clear than my previous aids. Initially, EVERYTHING was louder, as is the case when you start with hearing aids, or have them adjusted. The brain adjusts, and within a day or two, things balanced out.
I have very small ear canals, and could only use the small domes. The closed domes do amplify better, but because they were too big for my ear, I experienced too much occlusion; my voice got really loud inside my head as the dome plugged my ear. Otofonix customer service really worked with me on this, and sent some smaller domes in different styles.
PROS:
-My friends say I'm not asking, "What was that?" all the time, and I am hearing the clarity of voices in my office and in small group settings much better than I was. I am much less frustrated!
-These are clearer and louder than my expensive hearing aids. For this, I give it the 4 stars!
-Otofonix Customer Service was great, and helped me through some initial issues on the phone, and even sent me some extra domes to try.
CONS:
-There are no signal tones to let you know the amplifiers are on, when you first close the battery compartment.
-There are no tones to let you know which volume level you are on.
-I experience more feedback with these than my old hearing aids. For example, sitting in front of my laptop at work, and playing music through it or a client, certain tones or notes will make a short and sharp squeal in the ear. Sometimes coming in close proximity to certain objects will also create this noise.
Wishlist!
-Alert tones for volume and when the units are first turned on
-A remote that would allow quick on/off or volume changes (I'm a musician, and can't tolerate wearing amplifiers when I play, but would appreciate being able to flip them on/off quickly to hear colleagues or the conductor)
Thank you, Otofonix for your research and development in this area, and for providing an affordable option for hearing amplification!
