Loud noise (military service) damaged my high frequency hearing and speech is difficult to understand if mixed with background noise. I was told nothing will completely restore the loss and I'm sure other peoplehave different problems and symptoms. The life ear device is a greathelp for me, however, it did take a little while to get comfortable with.I have found there is no problem with wearing it with my right ear only.When driving, it allows me to understand my wife sitting on my right much better. If you have complete loss of hearing in one ear, I see no reason the wear the device for that ear. If you buy the pair that givesyou a spare at reduced price. Hope this helps.

No it will not help. All you will be able to hear is the back-ground noise. You will not be able to hear the people close to you. You would be better to get a device with volume control.

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.

they can hear what you hear through your ear piece - not what's low volume around you. So if you are a heavy breather, cover the mic or switch to mute.

I'm afraid there seems to be no simple answer. I read all the warnings about large ones and got standard: they were way too small. Maybe my ears are bit big (I'm an adult man) or maybe standard is really small (as they used to label it). I suppose one unsatisfying answer is that they're cheap for what you get: try one of each and give away (after cleaning) the one that doesn't fit.

It is very likely that it will help. Maybe start with an Otovent kit and try that first. If the Otovent works and the problem is chronic, then invest in the Earpopper...

They will help but they are more tuned for music. Let in a lot of sound but cut down on the harsh frequencies. I would suggest getting regular foam earplugs for that.

I'm not a doctor so not sure if it works for "hearing impaired". I guess it depends on how impaired your hearing is. I know you can turn the volume up much louder than is comfortable for me. Hope this helped :-)

I have a large head as well. The headphones fit, but the fact that I use glasses makes it uncomfortable and sometimes painful on my ears. I'm not sure if this is because of my head/ear proportions or just that I use glasses.

one ear loop and i think 5 ear buds of several sizes are included. I do offer a strong bit of advice I learned a long time ago, go to a local shop that sells high quality hearing aids. bring your blue tooth headset and the ear buds with you. Pick a ear-bud that you wouldn't use I always choose too small of one for me to use. Tell them you want to get a custom earpiece like for a hearing aid. they will put a little piece of foam rubber in your ear and then inject over it into your ear canal a gel that will harden and then pull it out. If your headset has a tube like this one or a piece like many other brands that must rest against your cheek for the noise filtering to work that they understand the position that is REQUIRED for the Bluetooth headset to work properly. They send it with your ear gel off and you typically get it back at their office in about 72 hrs when you go back bring your phone and your bluetooth headset. Make sure you turn your volume way DOWN or it will be like a cartoon when something is loud and blows out the other ear. You will find out that the headset will have the best volume that you ever had and you will be able to jump up and down, you could even lay down and put your head on a pillow and it will stay on and in position! Hope this answer and additional info helps.

Thank you for your description detailing the position of the earpiece loop. I readjusted the earpiece so the loop would go in as you described, and it appears to have eliminated the discomfort problem.

Yes they help with that and left/right ear orientation. Surprisingly I only notice them initially and then forget they are there.

A few others have answered and this is a few months old, but yes! I wear a BTE aid in my right ear and these are light, comfortable, and do not cause feedback.

The Bose A20 Headset have been disigned foroptimum function wearing it correct! It is marked for each ear so you dont wear it wrong, Left and Right.

It will help, but you must use both plugs and cap..Use the wax plugs you can make fix into the ear.

My experience is that it comes through both sides. I would check the placement of your earpieces and make sure they line up properly. That may be part of your issue. Other then that it appears not to be functioning correctly.

Not being a doctor, not sure if they would help hard of hearing people or not...although, I would think some help would be there....first of all, you wouldn't be susceptible to other noises in the room....the ear phones would isolate the TV sound....you would have to try them, I would think....good luck..
