My elderly mother is going deaf and likes to put both the radio and TV on full blast. Would these block most of the noise if i am in the next room?

They would probably do a good job softening the sound. I use them for drumming, and they soften the sounds so I can hear them, but they are not to loud.

Yes, they will work in either situation. However, they do not have noise cancelling properties. They're not ideal in loud/crowded situations, but they get the job done.

For the most part, at a low volume, you can block out most other ambient sounds, i.e. tv, talking in a room nearby, traffic sounds etc.

I wouldn't say these suppress exterior noise by much. I bought these because we have 3 people in our house that work evenings, and my wife can listen to the TV without disturbing anyone. She says she can hear the dishwasher a very small amount while wearing them. Just testing them myself some has to really direct their voice to you to be disruptive. A side note.....We LOVE these! The serve a great purpose and work fantastically!

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've been useing them with my computer and tv and have found they work really well without messing with the sound or volume. Hope this helps.

yes they should. they do not block sound, they reduce it to safe levels. It should,because it work as good as any regular ear muffs.

No. They provide a substantial reduction in the level of the noise, but you can still hear things muffled.

As with any listening device, it depends on how loud you have them turned up. Also do they have rabbit ears. I doubt they will cause a problem if you listen in "normal" volumes.

It is not very loud. I do not think it would interfere with you hearing the tv.

I have these. I can move a little but if I turn away from the TV I lose the sound. As long as you mostly face the TV you can still hear.

They'll block out a lot of noise, however if you're in an abnormally loud vehicle or other situation where there's a consistent droning noise you may want to look for active noise canceling headphones. If the sound you're trying to filter out is not loud and consistent active noise canceling will be useless. These headphones do _not_ feature active noise canceling but are closed back and will block out a lot of sound, such as people talking, TV in the room etc.

No but they may reduce the sound enough for you to concentrate. They do not block out the sound completely.

No idea, I would never listen to these with the volume full blast. It would probably cause hearing damage! The sound isolation is great, meaning the noise floor is low enough that I hardly have to turn up the volume much at all.

They don't block out ALL noise, but they definitely block a lot of noise. They don't mute everything though

Yes, considering they do not cover your entire ear they do block out a good amount of sound.

Agree with Amazon Mama's response. Good earphones but not the best for blocking noise.
