How well can you hear normal speech?

I'm not sure how you're using this, but you can people speaking at normal level. Not whispers. I wear it under a helmet, I hear my riding partner through the helmet and the obnoxious sound of a Harley. It blocks sounds over a certain db range that can cause damage.

So long as the little plugs are Not Inserted you can hear very well. Put the plugs in and everything is either silent or highly muffled.

You can hear normal speech when the inserts are out. When you put the inserts in it cuts the noise level down like a normal ear plug.

You can, however it's going to be muffled even with the plugs out. I got these expecting they'd work similar to electronic muffs, but expect them to work more like normal ear plugs.

Yes. I purchased the headphones for my father's Christmas gift. My mother is now able to listen at "normal" volume.

I bought the unit a year ago and would say the noise is normal, I can have a conversation easily while it is running.

I think it sounds great for normal conversation,You just have to have the sub adjusted to how you like it

I've had no issue with speaking volume and use just my normal speaking voice. The mic is sensitive and like many competitors background noise in a crowded area like a restaurant can be prevalent.

Not overly loud. You won't be able to hold a conversation, but it's not deafening.

I would say a medium level of sound. I've had quieter and louder than this.

Sometimes, while I'm talking to my friends, if they start talking while I'm speaking, I can hear my voice on their end. And honestly I sound amazingly clear. Like a-whole-nother person. Everyone can hear you clearly and I'm pretty sure it will work well with your Rosetta Stone. :)

I found the sound to be adequate if you had the player on your lap or very close. My hearing is not perfect but I do hear normal sound. It would depend on how badly your dad's hearing is impaired.

You can, but I was getting fairly substantial distortion. I would have to turn it up very loud to hear dialogue, but then there was a loud buzz.

My husband owns these headphones, and I sit about 3 feet away from him on my own computer often when he's playing online. If I listen very hard I can just hear the sound of voices, but not enough to know what they're saying. I have heard people though when they were excited and shouting, but still not audible enough to be distinctive. I don't think you'd be disturbing anyone in another room, other than by your own voice when speaking maybe. Hope this helps.

Sorry I don't have a better answer. It's pretty loud but not specifically designed for the hearing impaired.

If someone is speaking at a normal volume, 15 feet should be OK but it won't help with a soft spoken person. You may need to daisy chain a second device

Absolutely! My husband is a little hard of hearing (but he won't admit it) and he can hear perfectly fine no matter who he talks to. You can up the volume a lot, but I haven't had to. This is the best phone on the market.

The volume is certainly adequate. I haven't tried the microphone, so I can't comment on that feature.

Yes, you can hear very well. The only drawback is the charger plug is hard to get to.

Not really.. for general noise you would be better served with earplugs. This is for having regular hearing but drowning out sudden noises.
