An alternative to hearing aids is a “Pocketalker”. The Pocketalker is simple personal amplifier used to amplify specific sounds or voices. The Pocketalker uses ear buds or earphones to give a direct connection to a microphone.  It works for one-on-one communication with someone close to the listener.  The volume is easy to adjust and can be used with mild to severe levels of hearing loss. 
 
A big Lion Roar for Lion Eric Steen  for donating Pocketalkers to Marion Downs Center, our partner for Lions Hearing Conservation.
