Since I am very sensitive to sound, I listen at a low level when I listen to music. Mostly I use them because I can use my phone hands free without plugging my ears. This is a safety issue in a car or with the horses. Also I hate that people plug their ears then scream when they talk. My brother is doing nothing for his hearing loss as I couldn’t convince him that he needed to, and now he is in hospice. 😏. I love these headsets but I was concerned about the steady bone conduction being a problem.
