Review Summary:
In general, I am a big fan of the Maxi Pro Amplifier from Bellman especially for seniors and older adults with mild to moderate hearing loss that are looking for an easy to use alternative to hearing aids. The Maxi Pro has large buttons with high contrasting print and the familiar feel of a remote control.
You can use this one device for multiple uses: from hearing conversation more clearly to hearing your cell phone better to listening to TV. This makes it a great choice for people who don’t want to manage multiple devices. You may need a few accessories to operate some of the options through.
The only real drawbacks are that it isn’t a full featured, customizable system but most people will be ok with that. If you are looking for a system that offers more customizations or you prefer a more tech device, check out the Mino instead.
Pros:
Easy to use with familiar “remote control” feel
Bluetooth-enabled
Connects to multiple devices simultaneously
Use as a general speech amplifier, an audio booster for audio devices, a TV listener and works with hearing aids
70 hour battery life with 2.5 hours charge time
Rechargeable battery is replaceable
Buttons are easy to read and understand
Cons:
Few customizations for people with severe hearing loss
No telecoil system for hearing loop enabled venues
May need additional accessories for full use
