They say they don't allow noise above 82 decibals but it doesn't say how loudly they amplify. They're only about $60. Maybe you could buy some and experiment. Good luck.
I used some earbuds one time with my computer and I noticed an immediate fall off of sensitvity to noise after I took them off, so I stopped using them.
I later talked to a sound engineer and he said that earbuds are never worn by sound engineers because they can do a lot of damage over the years. All sound engineers use full ear muffs.
Lou,
Many thanks for the link; I just now called them with my question about amount of amplification for hearing impaired folks :)
If you wouldn’t mind, would you get back to me with the results of your research? I’d like to know what the dB of amplification is with these. I had them on full and when I thumbed the safety off my AR15 it sounded like someone hit a car wheel with a hammer.
