He is a little hard of hearing, and the product has a very loud beep which is easy for him to hear. grazie a tutti voi. I decided to wear them around the house for a couple of days with thick socks, just to see what happened. **UPDATE** I pulled a goof and actually threw away one of the securing straps for this pad, so I ended up contacting them to see if I could get another strap. These slip on and off with ease. it may stay there forever! No brand label on them. Sure its an exercise in and of itself to get it on, but the results are worth it. Dont buy these. My 15 year old son loves this gaming headset I bought him for his quarantine birthday.
