is this a good headset for the hearing impaired?

Yes, it should serve that purpose with its adjustable amplified headset output. However, it was designed for gaming usage with PC's or laptops. You may have to study the several recommended installation options on their website to determine which connectivity is suitable for your application. For example, I purchased it to use this headset/boom mic combo with my cell phone in my car for long trips. It provides the additional volume to overcome loud background road noise. I did have to provide a separate 12-volt power adapter to substitute for the built in USB power cable to PC. It's a bit clunky because of unused cables but it works well non-the-less.

Well, the volume gets pretty loud, and the speakers are pretty clear. A person with no hearing impairment can hear sound better as well as more of the details you don't hear with standard speakers. Without knowing the degree of impairment, however, I can't give you a definitive answer.

Yes. This is the best headset on the market! It is light and has the best sound. I have two. I use one in my vehicle and the other with my computer for dictation and Go-to-Meetings.

Although my hearing is going bad, it is not that bad. The volume is adjustable and you should be able to make it loud enough on the handset, in my opinion. We occasionally use the speakerphone feature and also find that to be very loud, but adjustable.

I use it for Dragon speaking. It has good quality sound. For gaming you might want a full headset for stereo sound though.

I have mild hearing loss and the Sennheiser makes it easier to listen to many tv programs. If the dialogue is rather low, this may assist the wearer to understand what is happening. It may not be the solution for someone who has a bad hearing impairment.

I use this headset primarily for webinars, once per month or so. The audio quality is great, in fact better than using my phone handset. It should work well for you.

It is acceptable for the size of the speaker. Rather expensive for non hearing aid use, I believe, but it is definitely a quality product. With hearing aids, it is absolutely perfect - just make sure that it is compatible with the hearing aid model no. compatibility listing is on the Phonak web site.

Hi, I was very satisfied with it and still love it!!! It can be made very loud and clear. I would recommend it. I have mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears and this machine worked great :) Hope you like it too.

Yes, if you have that activated as it is an option. You may also adjust the volume of your voice I find these to be the best headset for gaming. Well worth the price to game for hours and hear everything.

Yes it is, however these headsets we HORRIBLE! I returned both of them. I would advise not purchasing them.

Yes if course. This headset has adequate mic and sound quality for that. Tho I do have to admit, when using this for long, hurts my ears. But that's coz I got small ears. The blue LEDS on the ear cups is super pretty :)

Yes, It is worth getting. I am enjoying my headset. It is easy to sync, fits good behind the ear and good sound.

Not sure why it is not. I have been using mine with a cordless Panasonic phone since I purchased it. I have had absolutely no issues and I have a hearing disability. I can hear better with this headset without my hearing aids than I can with them on without using the headset.

On a scale of 1-10, I would say 5, I can listen to my music just fine, but if the surrounding noise is to loud, you won't be able to hear all the details of your audio. The volume of the sound is good, its not a earphone so if you're listening to anything on a very high volume it will be heard by others near you, but it won't be very clear. The volume on the headsets is good so you won't need to turn up the volume to enjoy your audio.

you can hear everything. steps, guns reloading (like other people have said), you can even hear things off in the distance. the headset is amazing. it's definitely worth the money.

Yes! The person wearing the headset has the ability to turn the volume as loud as they need it in order for them to hear the sound of the TV. Anyone else sitting in the room is able to listen to the TV at whatever volume it is, which would more than likely be lower than the person with the headset. I do believe this saved our marriage...:). It has been a blessing for my husband who has hearing difficulties and the TV does not have to be blasting me out of the room. Strongly recommend to everyone with a hearing disabled family member!
