Is the 72 db output accurate? Nothing is worse than a radio @ full volume (for soft talkers), when an emergency tone blasts out your eardrums.

I have not measured the 72db output. I will tell you that you can turn this thing waaaaayyyyy down and still hear fine. I use mine on the fire department, and I get voice and tones just fine barely turned up from the lowest point on my volume dial.

Over all the audio is stable. I have not had to adjust it very much. The sound stays the same on the the radio transmissions. Emergency tones and regular communications. The Officers that I no that talk low is not a problem.

At full volume the sound is poor, definitely not capable of blasting your eardrums.

I would say no. In a live situation you have to speak into the mic. You could for radio purposes turn the volume way up but your going to risk picking up all sound in the room from creaking chair to whatever.

No, It's just a trigger. It needs to be fed into a sound module to generate a signal your ears can recognize. Sorry.

Yes, you can adjust it from no sound to full volume....does anyone bother to read the write-ups on products they are looking at??...this one is very well described in explicit detail...

Not at all...late at night you might not use it at high volume :)... but I'm quite satisfied with the unit

Most of the people answering this, aren't understanding the question. The question isn't referring to comfort. The person is asking about listener's fatigue, which IS an issue with the 990s due to the overemphasized treble response. It can be screechy, harsh, and overly hot. Paired up with a strong, boomy bass response, you have a combo of fatigue. YYMV, but yes, it can be a problem.

I see the entry below and wonder why. So far I've had an excellent experience with my unit. I bought it all and didn't really need the FM booster. Still, puts out sound like a full sized unit, in my humble opinion. Would I do it again? So far, you betcha'!!

You know, my original thought when I saw your question was,"I don't know." Then I started thinking my ears used to ring bad at times, and I haven't noticed it lately. I still have to say, of all the non Rx units Ibe used, it is STILL the best I've bought... Hope that helps.

You can easily hear it at half volume. At full volume you can hear it, easily, at 50 feet. You will be impressed!

To be very honest, I have not used this unit in quite some time. I am still trying to figure out HOW this damn thing works.I know all local frequencies by heart, but setting up which where who and how..... just to get the thing to scan is less than impossible. I have used other brands in the past with excellent results. I think this was a mistake. But to answer your question, some emergency departments have the burst of "static" sounding stuff at the end of each transmission. You might try turning down the SQUELCH. This may not help but I tried.

I tested this, and the music had to be really loud (old-school jungle at 120% volume loud) for someone next to me in a quiet room to report hearing anything. This is not, importantly, because of anything like "noise cancellation" (which messes with the signals themselves) but simply good design; you will have to turn the music off before you take them off your head in a library, because they do project some sound otherwise. Also, if you live in a city in which being annoying on public transport is considered unacceptable, please send brochures

Not at all friend. It has its limitations, including its frequency range and fidelity, It does the job very well though if you are looking for something decent...Regards.

Set the alert feature to "siren" mode and it will sound relentlessly. At its highest volume setting, I can not fathom anyone sleeping thorough the siren on this thing. If you do, then you need to have your hearing tested!

The volume is very good, maybe even too loud if maxed out. Slight hearing loss will not be a problem.

no. i only had it for a day before i sent it back. i must of received a lemon cause i could not bring the volume up past 24 without having the amp's safety turning off my unit. not interested in getting another one though.

On the contrary I turn up mine to 7 and hear the ring and also the caller at the other end. One needs to eek assistance to find a ring tone that one who is hard of hearing can be happy with. As a matter of fact I use two hearing aids and find the phone admirable

I have never tried to tell you the truth. I have never tried to tell you the truth. Sorry. I do enjoy the quality of the sound from this unit. I feel it is everything I wanted . Sorry I was not much help with your question.
