I've often speculated that such amplifiers contribute to yet even further hearing loss, like loud headphones can damage the hearing of someone with normal hearing, it seems to me that it would do similar damage to someone with hearing loss. I have listened to music too loud in the past, and I have tinnitus, and I now avoid headphones.

Hi! I received this amplifier in the mail today and said I'd write to the list with my findings. Not much needs to be said, amp does all it claims to do. The device looks like a small fuse holder with a clip on the back for attachment to a pocket or collar. At one end is a lead for plugging into the dock of your iPhone/iPod whilst the socket for headphone connection is at the other. The controls are simple enough, a volume up and down, pause control in the middle with track back and forward buttons on the outside of the row. This amplifier gives you plenty of volume boost for your headphones if needed and perhaps I can illustrate what I mean by saying that I can hear the iPhone through my top of the line Senhiser model, normally I would only get this type of volume out of my Hi-Fi amplifier. I also have a 90% hearing loss so and - through these headphones - my iPhone/iPod can barely be heard by me at normal volume levels given out by these devices. I paid $25.00 for this amplifier and that to me is well worth the money. For Australian customers you can find the amp at <http://www.warcom.com.au/products/20124_fiio_e1_earphone_volume_booster_amplifier_for_iphone_white> For those living outside Australia? I'm not sure whether the online shop at the above link wil ship internationally but give them a try, I've found Warcom pretty good to deal with. Alternatively perhaps a few minutes with Google will track this amplifier down at other sites world-wide. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
