Is this a true bone-conduction speaker? Will the person sleeping next to me hear it at all? (thanks!)

When I raise my head from the speaker, I don't hear the sound.But the only other body on my bed is my dog, Buster.It doesn't bother him at all.

I don't think it is a true bone-conduction speaker but my husband can't hear it. I can only hear it, away from my ear, if the radio station comes on very loud.

No, is a regular speaker, you place your ear directly on it.. And no, the person slerping next you will not hear it. It will sound large and present to you and you might be surprised at first no one else can hear it.

it depends on where you set the volume. My husband doesn't hear it during the night. If you have the volume up they will. I put the speaker under my ear so the volume can be low, just make a dent in your pillow and put you ear on the speaker works great for me.

Hello, purchased this for my husband. He would to play the radio in the middle of the night when he'd wake up and couldn't sleep. It would wake me up. This speaker is a god send for me. Now I never hear the radio with this speaker and he can listen when ever he chooses.

I sleep next to a user and, yes, sometimes i can hear it if he does not have his head right on top of the speaker.

I hear it too sometimes - sounds in your skull are amplified. Try chewing gum or tapping on your forehead and you'll see what I mean. When you walk with solid heels the shock goes all the way through your spine into your skull and you actually hear it. I wear nice cushy athletic shoes often and I don't get the thump (as much) with those. I also get some microphonic cord noise - and have to clip the cord away from collars. I still think it's worth it. These are the only phones you can use in the NYC subway and still get good sound.

Its either constant _________ noise or *-*-*-*-*- noise. its just like a speaker. What you send it, it will play. You send/give it signal of power it will sqwauk.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I guess it's all relative. It's loud without being abrasive. I have decent hearing, so I liked that it gradually increases (over about 15-30 seconds) so I can usually turn it off before it gets too loud. I have used it in two different apartments and can always hear it, even while in the shower. But it typically doesn't seem to stir my sleeping fianc, who is a very heavy sleeper. Hope this helps.

It is not silent and it is not noisy. You can easily hold a conversation while standing next to it. It is quieter than window air conditioners I've been around. If it is running next to the head of the bed while you are trying to sleep, there is no doubt you will know it is there. Will it annoy you? My wife is phonophobic and on low speed it didn't bother her: she described it as a white noise she could overlook.

I have a thirty(30%) hearing loss, so my expereince may not be normal.I hear thr alarm fine, but , when I first wanted to confirm it was working, I had to hold it to my ear to hear the ticking.The alarm itself is easlier heard. the ticking, in my opinion, will not interfere with the homework

Yes, it can be heard in another room. Our caregivers are awakened in the night if my mother tries to get out of bed. I suppose the others in the house will also be awakened by the alarm as it is loud enough to be heard from about 30 feet away.

the pager is fairly loud. I usually keep it right next to my bed and seems loud enough to wake me. I would recommend keeping the batteries fresh on the pager and the alarm. enjoy!

It is one speaker but sounds great. Just loud enough to fall asleep. Most small electronics like smartphones have only one speaker. I enjoy this pillow.

It is not any louder than a drill or scroll saw. I don't think it would wake a person in another room.

You can barely hear the click, I highly doubt it could disturb someone while they're sleeping.

I really am not sure, as i never tried it on myself or with such a condition. I can tell that it has very nice sounds but i couldnt tell if its helpful with the probably very annoying ringing sound in the ears. I would probably try an mp3 player w some tranquil yoga or white noise music on it to block that kind of sound. Thats what I do to block pain/or loud noise and to put me to sleep when i am restless.

Contact the seller. I believe it is by design. In my case it was loud enough to disturb my sleep.

Dear Lenora----it seems to work just fine for me---. I purchased two of these items and both work just fine. There is an amplifier that must be switched on (uses 1 AAA battery) in order for the volume to really work best---if the amplifier isn't on or the battery is dead there (essentially) is no volume. As long as the battery is good and you have the amplifier turned on (that is by the way how the volume is adjusted) all is well and for just a little speaker it can be quite loud --- but that is a function of how close it is to your ear. For me and my purpose I have no complaints and it's my opinion that you'll be just fine. Dear Lenora----it seems to work just fine for me---. I purchased two of these items and both work just fine.

I found I could not hear thu my pillow. I did enjoy, while sleeping on my side, laying one on my ear, not the ear on my pillow. Unfortunately, eventually a wire must have broken next to the plug. I no longer get sound from either speaker.

So, I actually have some roommates who can be rather noisy at night, if you catch my drift. It's mad annoying, so I've taken to trying to block it out when it happens. I can say that the noise isolation (with no music) is solid, but not incredible. But honestly, it's about as good as any non-fitted pair of earplugs I've tried. If you combine that with actually playing some really light music (I literally put my iPod on the lowest volume setting it can go), then usually you're in good shape. The only downside is that you've got earplugs in while you sleep. Which means you either have to sleep entirely on your back (which I can do sometimes). Orr... I take one out, sleep on my side, and keep the other one in. This also works decently well since my ear without an earplug is in the pillow, and thus solidly blocked from sound. Also, for music, I recommend chill instrumental music. I've tried other things, but have occasionally been woken up by random parts of a song that get loud.

No. They can hear me perfectly. I love this product. Very clear to listen to the other person's voice.
