WARNING!!
Background noise might be frustrating, but this kind of device is dangerous- you might very well severely damage your hearing.
THIS TYPE OF DEVICE IS NOT A "HEARING AID": genuine hearing aids are designed to compensate for sounds that are softer or louder.
If you are watching something with a constant loudness, you might be able to set this to a comfortable level. However, if suddenly the sound becomes considerably louder, it is similar to someone's shouting in your ear. You have set it to what is comfortable, but suddenly something is blasting.
Again, no device such as this is safe.
