Product Review

For thousands of years, humans have cupped their ears to amplify sound. Now, there is a better way. The design of the Dixie Hear Cups is based on the 1900 patent number 656,182 by W. H. Ehrhardt, "Sound Collector For The Ears." Since then, there has been considerable study and development to improve this type of device. Despite this later work, we believe the simple, optimized design of the Dixie Hear Cups is the best way to amplify the human voice without using electricity. A great gift for those in your life who have trouble hearing normal conversation. The adjustable cord goes over your head and under your chin. The Hear Cups slip under the cord and over your ears. The cord can then be adjusted for comfort. Great for watching TV. TEST: perform this simple test to see if you will be satisfied with the Dixie Hear Cups: Turn on your TV. Cup both of your hands around your ears. If you find the somewhat louder sound volume helpful, then you will be satisfied with the hands-free Dixie Hear Cups. "Here's listening to you, kid!"
