Some people just need extra help in hearing for specific situations like watching TV, riding in the car, or just around the house. The Model HA20-DX is a great solution for people with a mild to moderate hearing losses.

Bruce Trainor's Product Review for March 23, 2005
Mine arrived by mail this morning and it works just great. I hav 2 BTE aids, the newer was 1700.00 Canadian, bought just 3 months ago from a continent wide franchise and manufacturer. This cost about 250.00 US with the extra receiver.
The body mount is superior in every way to the BTE aids and works out to about 15% of the cost.
There is no background noise at all and the mushroom ear things are, to me, far more comfortable than than the plastic things that go into the the ear. The only disadvantage is that everyone thinks I am wearing a walkman. Lots of people do that by choice so that doesn't bother me. Anyway pretty doesn't cut it with me, results do. This aid give darned good results. I am glad I bought it.

Richard Silbert's Product Review for July 2, 2005
I recently purchased the HA20-DX Body Aid and I love it. I wear a BTE, but find the body aid much better, and find myself wearing almost all the time. My girlfriend thinks I hear much better with the body aid than the BTE.
Jack's Product Review for June 28, 2008
I have had several highend aids, so I really didn't expect a whole lot from this device. I was pleasantly surprised to find the HA20-DX to be a very effective aid with great audio quality and battery life. My biggest problem was where to put it. I started with the shirt pocket, Too much rubbing noise and my breathing, the same thing happened when I clipped it to my shirt collar, then my belt, to far away, cords not long enough. Then I came upon the answer, I clipped it to the bill on my baseball cap, cut a small slit in the cap, ran the wires inside the cap, and oh my God, Beautiful.....Every where I looked I could hear, gone was the rubbing and wire noise, my biggest problems were solved. For the money this really is an excellent unit easily adjustable to what you like to hear. It is far better than going without! When you need to hear, it works!
Bob C.'s Product Review for January 26, 2009
I have been wearing in the ear and behind the ear hearing aids for at least 30 years. They all helped at different levels of hearing loss. The last bte set was over $3000.00 and worked very well at first but slowly became less effective. Living in the far northeast, moisture is a problem and performing outdoor activities sometime caused the aids to get wet and quit. Then I had to go through the drying process or sometimes a trip to the audiologist to get a complete drying. The ear molds get hard after a time and the tubes get stiff and both have to be replaced. Not a do it a home project. I mentioned body aids a time or two but got no response. This last time just one aid quit and with my loss one aid is worse than none. So off to the WEB and I found two different body aids. Did some more research and decided to try what I found at Lloyds site. Without consulting anyone I ordered one of the body aids and waited. A few days later I the phone rang and it was a rep fromLloyds (sorry I don't remember your name, hearing loss) and the young lady ask me some questions regarding my hearing loss, then suggested that I try the less powerful body aid. And let me tell you I could not be more pleased with the new body aid. When my wife and I travel in the car we can cary on a converstaion with no what did you say??? I recently attented a town budget meeting and committee members noticed very quickly that I could hear and respond to questions much more correctly than before. Other public meetings have gone much better than before. No the aids don't fix my hearing but they allow me to participate much more than I have for quite a long time. I have rambled on long enough, after just 11 days I say sorry I didn't look sooner.
