I am deaf in one ear....will these work for my deaf ear?

Not being a medical doctor, I can not answer this with the assurance my answer will be accurate, but from what I understand is that it works off contact with the bone structure and creates vibrations, so my guess would be that it may give you some auditory input. I would love to know if you buy them and how it really does work. God Bless.

It depends on which kind of hearing loss you have. If you have conductive hearing loss, where the problem lies with the outer or middle ear, they'll work great! If you have sensorineural hearing loss, where your inner ear or auditory nerve has been damaged, they won't work. If you have mixed hearing loss (that's a little bit of both) they should help somewhat. Good luck! Be sure to let us know how well they work for you.

I am also partially deaf in both ears but especially in the right ear and find it hard to hear on a telephone using my right ear. I do not use hearing aids (as found them fairly useless!!!), but find I can hear clearly with the Shokz Wraparound in both earphones, so I should imagine you would be ok with them. I was surprised how good the sound was with the Shokz earphones. Good luck with them.

I am somewhat deaf in both ears and these work for me however it depends on what caused your hearing loss. No one can tell you based on what you have said here. That being said these are not ear buds, these are sound conduction ear phone. Please look that technology up to see if it can help you. See Direct bone conduction systems can be more effective than hearing aids. We hear sound in two different ways&#8213;air conduction and bone conduction. Air conduction hearing is when sound waves travel from the outer ear, through the middle ear to the inner ear. In contrast, bone conduction hearing is when sound vibrations travel directly to the inner ear through the skull bone. In cases where there is damage to the outer or middle ear, or when one of these parts does not function, an air conduction hearing pathway cannot reach the inner ear. Instead of trying to push sound through the damaged area, as is done with hearing aids, direct bone conduction systems send it directly through the bone, naturally stimulating the inner ear. Most hearing healthcare professionals agree that direct bone conduction systems are a more effective solution than air conduction devices (like hearing aids) for patients with mixed hearing loss, conductive hearing loss or single sided deafness.

If you use one ear at a time I don't think they would be ideal unless you can find a replacement designed for that use. But they sound great and would recommend them for sound quality.

yes find but issues is that I cannot hear from one side of the headphones. hopefully no such issues happened to you.

Of course it depends on the size of your ears!!! They are designed to fit over the ear.

They work like any other headphones, As long as it has a port for it they will work :)

You should have any issue. The headphones are great quality and each ear has it's own volume control. I don't have bad hearing but I think they will be just fine.

They say they are for the left ear but they work on either ear. I routinely swap ears every couple of hours because my ear starts to hurt.

My ear buds are just one, so never have tried 2. I can hear just fine with one.. Just used them in our Choir recording!!Bought the ear bud through Amazon too. Hope it works for you!

I am not sure if they will work for you. I do not have small ears and ended up requiring the smallest size bud available. Though I prefer smaller ear buds so they might work for you still. My main complaint with them was that they broke only after 5 months of use. Be careful with them.

I answered earlier that they work pretty well for this function. However, about 3 weeks after I posted that, first one ear, then the other just stopped working. So they only lasted less than 2 months--which in my opinion isn't adequate at all. Though I would have recommended them, now I won't.

It depends on the size of the ear bud. If they are "typical" in size, then they should work.

I can only say for sure that they fit my ears. They are quite wide one one end so I expect they should fit anyone.

no the headphones only work one or the other say talking or listening. They don't work like they should where you can talk and listen.

I don't see why not, they don't fit in your ear, the go over your ear. So if the hearing fits inside the ear, (not the ear canal but inside the ear) they should go over it.

I sorry, but I purchased this item as a "spare" pair and I haven't used them. However, I bought them with the understanding/assumption that the questions you asked could be answered with a "yes." I have what appears to be an identical pair of earbubs and they can do everything you asked about.

Not sure if they'll work for that. I bought these specifically for the HTC One. Which is the phone I use. Honestly, these headphones are good, but the ear pieces will not stand up to rough use, so if you have them in a purse, or if you plan to use them on an everyday basis, I'd find some that are a little tougher.

They will but I will tell you that less than a month after purchase they stopped working...no sound nothing. Save you money.
