A:AnswerHello- Shokz here! Shokz OpenRun Mini bone conduction headphones are not hearing aids and do not amplify ambient sound, but their open-ear design allows them to be worn simultaneously with most hearing aids. They are excellent for streaming audio, phone calls, or music while leaving the ear canal free. We do have customers who use them to assist with hearing, usually by pairing the headphones to their phone and accessing a hearing aid app like Petralex, Ear Spy, Ear Trumpet, or Hear You Now. These apps use the mic on the phone to pick up surrounding sound and transmit it through the headphones. Please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team if you have any other questions. Thanks!
