A:AnswerHello- Shokz here! Yes, Shokz OpenDots ONE could be a good option for people with certain types of hearing loss, as their open-ear design keeps the ear canal unobstructed, which can improve comfort and safety. However, they are not a universal solution for everyone with hearing loss and should be considered alongside more traditional bone conduction headphones and with a hearing professional's advice, as their technology relies on air conduction, not bone conduction. Please reach out to our Customer happiness team if you have any other questions. Thank you!

A:AnswerHi there- Shokz here! Shokz OpenDots ONE are not designed to block out sounds, including your own breathing.

Thank you!
A:AnswerHi there- Shokz here! The Shokz OpenDots ONE do not use bone conduction technology. They utilize air conduction technology combined with DirectPitch™ and an open-ear design, according to Shokz. This means sound is delivered to your ears through the air, like traditional headphones, rather than through vibrations on the bones of your skull. Please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team if you have any other questions. Thank you!

Thank you!
