What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Pocketalker Ultra is a small personal amplifier that boosts the sounds closest to you, so one-on-one talks, TV, and noisy places like restaurants are easier to follow. You wear it on a belt clip or neck lanyard (it weighs 2.7 ounces with batteries) and listen through the lightweight headphones. It has separate tone and volume controls, so you can shape the sound to what you hear best. Two AAA batteries are included and run it for about 99 hours. The kit also has a plug-in microphone and a TV listening cord with microphone clips. It amplifies sound for you but is not a hearing aid.
