I have hearing loss and I use hearing aids. That rules out ear buds. These use bone conduction. I can leave my aids in if I choose. I can use them without my aids and still get great fidelity. I am extremely satisfied with them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That is correct. I have limited hearing out of one ear and still comes through very clear like I don’t have a problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Bone conduction bypasses eardrums. The bone conducting headphones decode sound waves and convert them into vibrations that can be received by Cochlea. Ear drum is not involved. The vibrations cause air to move into outer ear, triggering bones of middle ear to move...resulting in sound. The headphones transmit sound without blocking or plugging the ears. Sound goes through skull, not ears. Less chance of losing hearing. Allows awareness of surroundings .
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The answer is YES to both. If you listen close you can actually hear sound coming from the headset, but they use bone induction to essentially turn the bones in your head into a giant speaker. They work great. I too have damaged hearing and have no problems listening to music.

There is actual sound coming from the headphones; however it uses a different form of transmission through the skull bones so it doesn't process down the ear canal and through the eardrum. It depends on where your hearing damage originates in your ear structure on whether these would work for you. You may want to talk to your audiologist or other hearing specialist to see if these fit your needs. Or you could buy them, try them, and return them within Best Buy's return window if they don't work for you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This headset does use vibration to transmit sound into the ear bones. If the device is at a normal listening level no one but you can hear them. I cant speak for the device specifically working with people with hearing issues but I have heard they work well for people with hearing disabilities.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sound is conducted through your jawbone. There is sound that comes from these. Depending on your hearing loss, you may or may not be able to hear when you use these.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can feel the vibration slightly if at all, but you cannot hear it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can hear a little bit of sound coming from these if you do not have them on your cheekbones. The real sound, which is great, comes from vibration when these are touching your cheekbones. Depending on the cause of your hearing loss, these may or may not work well for you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The first wearing I had a very positive impression; light, good sound and volume, non-isolating. However, on the 2nd wearing, I stood up after watching TV for a couple of hours and almost fell over from loss of balance. My balance has been effected for a couple of days now. I suspect that the direction conduction, of whatever it is, to the inner ear without going passed the ear drum has caused some damage. I wonder what testing was done on these. I am hoping that the balance issue resolves in short order. Oh, and before you suggest that the volume was too high. It wasn't, in fact the TV says the volume was at 32 - 38 out of 100. WATCH OUT - THIN ICE - NO GUARD RAILS - NOT WORTH IT
