The Clearest Hearing Booster
Courtesy Able Planet
For decades, people who needed reading glasses have been able to pick up a pair at the local drugstore. The Able Planet Personal Sound Amplifier brings the same convenience to the 20 million Americans with mild or moderate hearing loss. The Amplifier is the first over-the-counter device that works similarly to expensive prescription hearing aids: It selectively boosts the frequencies of voices to raise them above the din. $500–$900
