They are not ambient sound amplifiers but bluetooh only.

I have found that if I scratch my head when wearing bluetooth earbuds,
the sound is louder than when I'm not.   FWIW I have hair.  I was
listening to webradio on my cell phone (see, an Android question!) with
wireless, bluetooth earbuds and when I scratched my head, it seemed
louder than I remember it.   I removed the earbuds and it wasn't as
loud.  I put the buds back in but turned off the webradio and it was
louder again.

How does the sound of my scratching my scalp get into the earbuds?

They probably have mikes, too, and they are enabled and active at the time.

Hmmm.  Maybe that's the case.  I have lueetooth earbueds both with and
without ambient sound amplification, and I can't find the ones that are
With.  Maybe these are they!  Clearly the ones With are more important
becuase they are more versatile, more expensive, and harder to find for
sale.

Many BT earphones for Android have in fact mikes, because they are
intended to be used with the phone, meaning having a phone conversation
is a certain possibility.

Has bitten me more than once because they can make a phone call tapping
the single button in a certain manner. And it phoned the first entry in
the address book, which was some one not pleased at me phoning her by

 LOL
 

mistake (I had her business phone number written for calls she made to
me, but she made the mistake of using her personal phone during the
pandemic, being forced to work at home. She could not understand how a
stranger had her personal number).

 LOL
 

I would like to have BT earphones with no mikes and no phone call making
capability!

 they sell BT  earbuds at the supermarket here for less than $10 and I'm
pretty sure** they don't have any way to make a phone call.  The problem
is that I read the instructions and think I'll remember them, but they
all blur together.  I should scan all my instructions so I can find them
years later.

Ohhh, yes.
Although I want better sound quality, so I don't go for the 10€ kind, so they try to be better and have mikes. Yep, I see.

 **Usually I keep them in the car but I brought them upstairs to charge
them and they are here.
 Oops, they did almost just what you said, diealed the most recent number
(not the first number) , when I tapped the middle button, twice I think.

Right! :-D
And they dial fast while one fumbles with the phone trying to abort the call. Not working.
