I know one of you will be able to clear this up for me.
I have a pair of Bose X nopise attentuating headsets - and they are great at cancelling out all the unwanted noise in the cockpit - especially on props.
However, my question is this - and it probably stems from my lack of knowledge of how the whole system works - Does the gadgetry in the headphones actually reduce the sound, and therefore the potential damage to my hearing......or does it just alter the sound so that i can't hear it.....i can't really word what i'm saying, but hopefully one of you will know what I mean!
