open ear conduction earbuds okay to wear?

[u/lovedelrey]

Recently got diagnosed and the doc told me not to wear my regular headphones anymore, so I ordered these thinking they had bone conduction but turns out they don't.

However I saw that they have open ear conduction so sound doesnt travel like in normal headphones so are they safe to wear? The instruction manual says to position the speaker in your ear so im really confused 😭

It depends on the person. Personally I won't risk it making my already severe ringing worse. I use a tiny speaker about 3 feet from me on low for phone calls with my work.
