Bose Corporation does not provide a noise reduction rating (NRR) or
attenuation specification for our QuietComfort headphones.
The 1970s-era NRR standard for rating industrial hearing-protection devices
was developed long before active noise reduction headphones were
commercially available. In fact, NRR, as defined by the government,
cannot be determined for this product because the test method specified
by law is generally recognized to be inaccurate when applied to active
devices.
Bose Corporation does not make any claims about relief of tinnitus,
hyperacusis or autism, and we have not conducted any long-term clinical
studies of the headphones' effect on these conditions. Tinnitus,
hyperacusis and autism are complex conditions that are not easily
addressed. Some consumers have reported the headphones improve
their situation, but others have not experienced any improvement.
With the Bose Corporation 30-day trial period, we can suggest consumers
try the QuietComfort 25 headphones personally to see if they experience
an improvement.
