Hey there! Our headphones work by sending vibrations from the temporal bone through the inner ear to the cochlea. Customers who benefit most from our products seem to be those with damaged ear drums, but a healthy cochlea. Even though our headphones aren't hearing devices, we have some customers who use them to assist with hearing, usually by pairing the headphones to their phone and accessing hearing aid apps. These apps (i.e., Petralex, Ear Spy, Ear Trumpet, and Hear You Now) use the mic on the phone to pick up surrounding sound and transmit it through the headphones. *Note: AfterShokz has a strong community of individuals that are hard of hearing, however; as a sport headphones company, we don't have the expertise to confirm whether our headphones can work for any particular person or medical condition.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I myself am not diagnosed with a hearing impairment, but I'm in my 50's and do often have a hard time hearing people and when using a Bluetooth device I find that I need one that sends sound to both of my ears at the same time or I still can't hear what people are saying. So I'm not sure how that compares to your impairment, but with mine I find that I can hear very well with this device. If I'm in a noisy environment I find that I may have to plug my ears in order for the bone conductive technology to be more effective. Also Best Buy has a 15 day no-hassle return policy so you can try it out and if it doesn't work for you then you can return it for a full refund. I hope that helps.
