I am writing to let you know of the superior benefits and performance of your Contego FM Receiver. I have worn hearing aids for a number of years, and have experienced increased hearing loss every couple of years. Each time I upgraded to the most sophisticated hearing aids on the market. In doing so I found that there was still a problem in my ability to process words, not just hear them through increased volume.
A year ago I began experimenting with FM Receivers by various manufacturers, but was never able to find a solution that suited my needs. Most of the units required the person speaking to be holding the transmitter. In situations such as conference calls, business meetings and public forums, this just was not practical. As I continued in investigate products through the internet I came upon Comfort Audio and the Contego FM Transmitter & Receiver. The product description sounded like the product I was searching for, but I was skeptical since all others sounded good as well. My audiologist was able to get the Contego for me on a thirty day trial basis. It turns out that the Contego is the best investment I could have made. I maintain control of the Transmitter and it actually pulls voices from extended distances. I am now able to hear clearly at all types of meetings. By placing the transmitter near the TV speaker I am now able to watch, hear and understand television programming for the first time in a number of years. Previously I had given up watching TV because I would misunderstand so many words that the program would make no sense to me.
Contego has indeed given me a new and enthusiastic outlook on hearing loss. I know now that there is something out there that can relieve the anxiety and depression that hearing loss can create.
Having dealt with you personally about my Contego, I can't say enough about not only the product but the rapid response I received from you in addressing my issues. Thanks ever so much to you and Comfort Audio for making the Contego available to me and millions of others who suffer as I do from hearing loss.

"This wonderful machine has transformed my life! No longer do I have to sit in a restaurant or a meeting like some dumb idiot, but can join in to any conversation as long as the speaker is within close proximity to the receiving microphone. Five stars!"

"I wear two digital hearing aids and have a severe loss in both ears, this gadget has really boost my hearing. I can hear the TV from another room or even another person if he is wearing a transmitter. The units are really cute and discreet. You can even wear it under clothing and not lose the clarity. Highly recommended!"

"I recently purchased the Comfort Contego for my 95 year old mother-in-law. She has purchased three different expensive sets of hearing aids plus had dozens of visits to audiologists and ENT physicians over the past 3 years with no real benefit to her profound hearing loss (estimated to be nearly 90%). I gave your product to her on 1/9/08 and she was immediately able to hear normal conversations without any difficulty. She was able to attend a weekly lecture at her independent living facility on 1/10/08 and hear every word--for the first time in over 2 years. In addition, she can now hear and converse with others in the dining room of her residence for the first time in over 2 years. Many other hearing impaired residents at The Trillium/Dublin, Ohio were amazed at benefits my mother-in-law's hearing improvement and were interested in how they could get more information about the product for their own use. I have printed copies of your brochure so that my mother-in-law can give them to interested residents. I strongly urge you to find a way to advertise to this group of elders which are often much better served with a product like your Comfort Contego than with marginally effective hearing aids. I know an RN who serves elders in independent living and assisted living facilities in central Ohio who could act as a sales representative if you are considering that marketing channel. I am most disappointed that ENT physicians and audiologists did not suggest this product previously. I was able to find your incredible product only after hours of sifting through many internet sites. Feel free to contact me at [contact info removed] in Dublin, Ohio."

"I am so happy to report that Comfort Contego is a wonderful product. I have been using it myself in many situations including large meeting areas with great success. In the past I have not used FM very often but since the Comfort Contego is so easy to use and has quality sound I use it in my work and social settings."

"I think the design is very good. Both the receiver and transmitter have microphones that work in either omni directional or unidirectional (zoom) mode. One of the best features is that both microphones can be adjusted from the receiver (master) unit which makes fine tuning volume levels easy."
