Available at your local Rite aid. I paid $19.70 tax included. If you have a problem with it, easy return, save receipt and packaging. Works OK, remember you get what you pay for. I would not wear it all the time, just when you need to listen to something important.

I just bought one for my Mom of 80 years old who has hearing problem. But it will not fit in her ear. The problem is the “soft tip” is oversized to her ear. Do you have a smaller size soft tip? And any suggestions ? Thanks for help.

I bought the micro-plus at my local drugstore on Friday 2/15/2013. It quit that same night as I was wearing it. I assumed the battery was dead as batteries included with products are usually not of good quality. on Sunday 2/17/2013, I spent $11.99 plus tax for the 312 hearing aid battery recommended to replace the supplied battery. The device still does not work it will not turn on and there is no sound even with the volume all the way up. Problem #2 I can find no place on the net to get service or help with this product. You would think Bell & Howell would stand behind their products. Don’t buy it this is a rip off!

BEWARE. This product may carry the name Bell & Howell, but it is sold & marketed by Emson Inc., the second largest “As Seen on TV” marketer behind TELEbrands. And like TELEbrands, Emson frequently misleads customers & overcharges their credit cards. They also use bait & switch tactics, which is what I experienced. I ordered the basic model advertised on TV. After waiting nearly a month (my card was charged immediately after I placed the order), I was told via email that the base model wasn’t available & they were sending me the “upgraded” deluxe model. They then proceeded to charge my card the full price for the deluxe model, without my permission & without refunding the original charge. I’ve now been charged for both models plus shipping costs for both. That’s $19.99 + $6.95 for the first one and $34.99 + $6.95 for the deluxe model I never wanted in the first place, for a total of $68.88. I was able to cancel the second charge, but am still trying to get my money back for the first one. I am NEVER buying ANY “As Seen on TV” product direct from the advertiser again. I do have an “As Seen on TV” store at my local mall, so that’s where I’ll go next time.

Well you were lucky your battery lasted 10 hours. I have purchased several batteries and the longest any lasted was 3 hours. A BIG RIP OFF!!!

Thanks Ya’ll, I was actually quite interested in this when I saw it on TV but decided to check out the website first.(This is not my first rodeo!) Very glad I did and all of your comments were appreciated. I will not purchase the bell and howell micro plus now. I have a problem with sounds sounding jumbled anyway and it looks like this would make that problem worse. So thanks to everyone that put in a comment or review of the product.

Hello; I was told that my order would be in my hands any day, so I should keep my eye on my mail until it arrives. Well it has been three weeks since they told me that, and nothing has come yet. Plus I tried calling that number that they advertised on TV, and it is no longer accepting calls. If I don’t have the micro plus in my hands in the next 10 days, I will declare war on them.

My complaint is that I called in an order for the micro plus hearing aid three weeks ago, and I haven’t heard anything from them since they took the money from my credit card. I have tried to get in touch with them to see what is the status of my order, that particular number no longer accepts call. My next move will be the (BBB). Either I will get the product that I paid for, or I will have the monies they took from my credit card replaced. Johnny From Youngstown, Ohio.

So far I am nothing but dissatisfied – ordered one unit was processed for two my credit card has been charged over $40.00 and I have not received it was told 3-5 business days now am told over two weeks. I could have driven there and picked it up for less money! I live in the same state less than an hour from Wallingford, Ct where it was supposedly shipped from. Now they tell me it is coming from California – what incompetence. If this how the company does business I will return my order!!! Disgusted so far if I would have known it takes this long and was told different I would not have ordered it and of course, they charge it immediately to you.
