Consumer Reports magazine recently took an in-depth look at hearing loss and the hearing aid industry, including the newest "hearing helpers" — less expensive, over-the-counter devices that may help some people with mild to moderate hearing problems. ," the report included the results of a fall 2015 survey of more than 131,000 of CR's subscribers.

Nearly half reported they had trouble hearing in noisy environments, yet only 25 percent had had their hearing checked in the past year.

The two lowest-priced devices — the Bell & Howell Silver Sonic XL () and the MSA 30X () – were found not only inadequate, but also potentially dangerous.

The two PSAPs that fared better were the Sound World Solutions C550 (0) and the Etymotic Bean (4 each, 9 for a pair).
