Those active noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds do not provide 100% noise cancellation, and in fact, they are not even consistent across the frequency spectrum. Where I have used them effectively is when riding as a passenger in a car for a longer drive. I find that if I put some good foam...

I haven't tried earbuds, but foam earplugs + noise-cancelling headphones is probably the best protection you can get when driving a car. It's also more comfortable than normal double protection as the noise-cancelling headphones do not sit so tight on the head.

Noise-cancelling headphones work for me at the dentist. Earplugs would make everything louder internally.

...something else, the more it'll learn to push it into the background. So, I'm trying to increase the time that I hear it by wearing noise cancelling headphones (Bose QC-35) while at work. Does this theory and my application make sense? Has anyone tried this before? Thanks and good luck...

Hmm, okay. I started using them after my tinnitus began and I noticed silence helped it. I'll try and go back to earplugs again and see if it affects anything.

I feel your pain and you are truly one of the more serious cases on this forum. That said, I agree with what others have said; you are extremely young and very much have age on your side. You have the best chances of healing/improving, the best chances of benefitting from a cure in the future...

Similar issue, I was exposed to a faulty alarm. I very foolishly dealt with the problem by first removing the batteries (which didn't work) and then unfastening the hardwired alarm. I cannot believe I didn't use my noise-cancelling headphones but it was late and I was tired and sleepy. My head...

David, would these headphones work for tinnitus mix? Sony Noise-Cancelling Headphones WH1000XM3 They are similar to the Boss noise cancelling earphones you mentioned earlier in this thread that you said work. These go up to 40,000 Hz.

Fully agree. One of my biggest mistakes was amping up the volume of my earbuds when I was outside (going out for a run, for instance) to drown out the environmental noise. I'm sure my prolonged exposure to loud music in 10-15 years time attributed to my gradual onset of tinnitus. Active...

I can't remember if mine beep a "power low" alert but they do announce "power on" or some such when first turning them on as well as "power off " when turning them off, so you might want to first turn yours on before wearing them. I would experiment at home to ascertain as many quirks as...

I hope your ENT is right and that you'll go back to baseline. :) On a side note, I think I've read on Tinnitus Talk that electrical noise cancelling earphones or headphones don't actually prevent noise from entering your hearing. I could be wrong, though.

I can't use earplugs, as I found I can't talk with them in. The occlusion effect or whatever it is is just too bad, and besides my ears start hurting pretty fast when wearing earplugs. It doesn't matter what type of earplugs they are. Earmuffs just lower volume too much, about 20 dB or more...

The article is informative and in-line to research. I would consider Bose noise-cancelling Headphones 700 and try using the 10th of 11 levels of noise cancellation. In time, you should be able to use levels of less cancellation...

Hi, Cris. Did you find what you were looking for? I need it too. Thank you https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/noise-cancelling-headphones-for-socialising-%E2%80%94-dangerous-for-hyperacusis.45676/#post-607592

Hi, I recently read your posts about the low pitch hum, and I’m really struggling with it. I was wondering if yours has improved at all. Does yours come in bursts, like a hummm every few seconds, or is it constant? I’ve also noticed an increase when driving, even for short distances. I believe...

I have 2 noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones. One is Bose, the other is Sennheiser. Both cancel airplane noise, lawn mowers, and such, but the Sennheiser's controls are incredibly confusing and unlabeled. I have to pull out the instructions every time just to use them, so I seldom use them...

The lag in the software in noise cancelling headphones can actually cause an amplification in high frequency sounds. "Many people get expensive noise cancelling headphones in the hope that they will somehow completely shield them from environmental noise. But when they switch on their...

Maybeeeeee you can find a pair of noise-cancelling earphones and place the earmuffs over them. I'm not sure how well it would work. I know it does not work with Apple AirPods Pro's as I have tried. The earmuffs brush the microphone on the AirPods and creates a very nasty sound. But the shape of...

Do you still use your noise cancelling headphones? Have you ever had a spike after using them? Thank you!

Noise cancelling headphones give spikes to some people (this is likely very rare). I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose noise cancelling headphones, to protect my ears from the headphones. The headphones are great at reducing the noise of an airplane.

Does anyone use noise cancelling headphones? My my own voice is so loud and sensitivity is at low tolerance at the end of the day ...

@dh42 For mowing the lawn, those are ear muffs, and just reduce noise. Noise cancelling headphones send an inverted sound wave to cancel out the sound...

I know everyone’s tinnitus is different, but my experience is to 100% not go anywhere near noise-cancelling headphones. I own a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4’s and will not be using them again. I wore them at our newly refurbished gym 10 days ago - their new music system must have been around (I’m...

Do you have an explanation on how people can have problems after using noise cancelling headphones? I fail to understand how it is possible.

Active noise cancelling isn't safe. If you search this forum, you will see many testimonials where people describe having problems after using noise cancelling headphones. I wear Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones when I fly. I wear earplugs under those headphones, to protect myself from the...

Does anyone use noise cancelling headphones like the Bose QC35?? https://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Wireless-Headphones-Black/dp/B01E3SNO1G/ Not being able to listen to music is killing me. Over speakers music just sounds like the speakers are broken :( With the Bose headphones I can...

Did you ever consider the 'noise cancelling headphones' contributed to your problem?

I don't know. They might work. It is weird how some very expensive headphones will not form the 2.8 MHz harmonic and then the $19 Koss KTX-PRO1 headphones do. You can try them but if you get no results, switch to the Koss.

Sorry what I mean here is to put the sleep buds under the noise cancelling headphones.

Quick question: Do you have SNHL?

That is my experience too. I am using noise cancelling headphones in a van. I then turn up the radio and the higher frequencies are getting through better than lower frequencies. The lower frequencies of road and engine noise are down to a luxurious level.

...Dohm to drown out all the noise outside my apartment. It worked really well. White noise drives my tinnitus nuts now, so I can't use it anymore. If you sleep on your back, a pair of noise cancelling headphones might block it out. Just turn on the noise cancelling, don't play any audio on them.

Normally people turn on the noise cancelling and don't play Any music. The damage is due to noise cancelling. (But it's good to wear noise cancelling headphones on a plane, just wear earplugs underneath.) Given the multiple reports about it, it certainly seems possible.

When you wear earplugs for flying don't you get problems with pressure between the eardrum and the earplug or is that not an issue?

You do realize millions of people have tinnitus, use headphones, or noise-cancelling headphones, and they never get worse or have the need to venture to online forums. You are going to get extremely biased anecdotal reports here. Basic common sense dictates that all kinds of headphones...

Quick update. I made the journey on Tuesday, and honestly it wasn't bad. I followed previous advice and just wore noise-cancelling headphones. They actually work real good for me. No other earplugs underneath, just a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones, a cheap pair for £40 off Amazon...

Hello! Today I put on special noise-cancelling headphones when the neighbors made repairs, but then, when my phone rang, I somehow very quickly took them off, although I usually take them off carefully, so I felt the pressure drop on my eardrums. Could this really hurt my ears? How do you...

They are good quality noise cancelling headphones, and quality costs money. I tried other noise cancelling headphones but the Bose ones are by far superior.

@Simon85, thank you for the reply!

Tinnitus After Using Noise-Cancelling Headphones? Hi! I recently purchased some noise-cancelling headphones and although I love them, I think they may have given me tinnitus. :( It became... Thread by: subsonik, May 2, 2018, 49 replies, in forum: Support

I've recently read about a potential danger for tinnitus sufferers concerning these types of headphones. I only used them on flights, and also had a small spike afterwards, not sure if it's related though.. That's why I am making a poll to see if this is a real danger.

Do you know which Bose headphones you have? It’s just they range between £190 - £400?

Nope, it was the headphones with noise cancellation. I could listen to music with the noise cancellation off and my tinnitus was unaffected (low volume setting each time). You can always buy a pair and give it a go; nothing to lose but a bit of cash and exacerbated tinnitus.

Hello everyone, I have a long history of ear issues (otitis and traumatic otoplasty during childhood, things like that). I started to feel pain overusing the old Nokia 3100 (2003). After that, I could never touch a cell phone to my ears. Then, I had episodes of hyperacusis during a period of...

@Michael Leigh, question, what is the evidence for low volume noise-cancelling headphones causing issues? If the volume is low, and given an equal safe dB level coming from a speaker vs a headphone, what would be the harm to the auditory system? Or are you just referring to possible exacerbation...

I have the Sony WH1000XM2 noise-cancelling headphones and they are comfortable to my ears.

...before then, but I'm sure most people don't, which is why they end up here, unfortunately. I should mention I don't actually use the noise cancelling function becuase the padding of the headphones is pretty thick and it muffles outside noise pretty well, even without active noise cancelling...

Does it reduce the sound more than Peltor earmuffs?

Yes, so the earbuds had a noise cancelling setting, which just is basic white noise that drowns out sounds around you. And then I had downloaded a pink noise mp3 to my phone and would play it to listen through them. I'd use them separately. They were Bose Quiet Control Wireless Headphones. So...

So this acoustic trauma happened over a year ago and your spike is still subsiding? That gives me some hope as I'm 2.5 months into a spike and I haven't seen any improvement.

Yes that's what I meant. I just used white noise as a layman's term, wasn't sure what else to describe it as since that's what it sounded like. Sorry, I don't know much about this stuff. Either way, I still got worse. I used the noise cancellation setting for going outside and being around loud...
