You need to stop using all types of headphones even at low volume, otherwise your tinnitus is at risk of getting worse. The tinnitus will probably reduce over time but this doesn't mean it has gone completely away. I assure you that it hasn't! If you continue to listen to audio through...

I hate to say it, but a number of people on this forum are convinced that noise cancelling headphones made their tinnitus worse. :( There is no actual hypothesis about the mechanism of how this might happen. Nevertheless, people's tinnitus gets worse right after they use noise cancelling...

This is completely wrong. Noice cancelling cancels out soundwaves from the jet engine to a great extent, and I experienced a huge difference when I flied here using noice cancelling and when I turned off noice cancelling. I sat on the plane and turned it on and off frequently as I am also...

Yea that article states that noise cancellation protects your hearing by allowing you to listen to headphones at a lower volume, but nothing about protection from outside volume levels. Noise cancellation may reduce some low frequency sounds but that's about it: Noise Canceling Hearing...

I think they're quite comfy.

Where did you read that? Amazon shows a very solid rating, with a pretty solid distribution. I have the previous generation and am very happy about it.

...will be surprised how quiet it is. Even if it is a Boeing plane, you ought to be ok, as long as you have earplugs underneath your noise cancelling headphones (as some people get T after wearing noise cancelling headphones (with no earplugs underneath) for a long time). Don't forget to have...

Why?

Noise-cancelling headphones don't always work well in response to sudden mechanical noises or piercing train whistles. They are better with constant predictable noise that's not too high pitched. You may be better packing a pair of folding earmuffs in your bag for the commute if earplugs aren't...

Talk to the dentist first. Make sure they are happy for the appointment to be a bit longer to allow for the rule: 5 seconds drilling 10 seconds off If they can use laser drills rather than conventional drills, so much the better. I use their noise-cancelling headphones rather than my own...

One further experiment I just did after posting that above: Bose Noise cancelling headphones in ears, noise cancelling ON. Not connected to any source, just headphones plus noise cancelling. JBL ANR E-series on ear headphones ON TOP OF the Bose. Switched OFF so no ANR in the JBLs, but...

I don't understand noise cancelling headphones. Isn't it just using one noise to drown out another noise? So twice the noise?

Which ones? The QC 35? I have those already.

...https://www.accidentlinedirect.co.uk/news/Tinnitus-from-bose-headphones-drove-young-man-to-suicide You can protect your ears using custom molded earplugs. I have also known a person who got tinnitus from using Bose noise cancelling headphones for 10 minutes at lower volume.

Aren’t noise canceling headphones harmful to ears?

...to be effective because of the shorter wavelength. I have been thinking about buying some NC headphones for flying and wearing earplugs underneath, but I'm unsure. I don't see why manufacturers can't make noise cancelling and noise isolating earmuffs, but I can't find any that really do both.

My dentist provides noise cancelling headphones and I provide the music.

So why should having less noise worsen your tinnitus except you can hear your own Tinnitus ring more and that drives you crazy. Noise cancelling is just cutting of tones from the outside nothing else.

I haven't used the earmuffs yet to be honest, I bought it after my last trip when the noise cancelling headphones was not working (and I realized that I needed something that would work without relying on technology, like they have to be charged and whatnot). Noise cancelling are really nice...

What about earplugs and headphones that are off?

I wear Peltor muffs. When I drive on the highway, I wear Bose noise cancelling headphones. I doubt those things will offer much protection against an airbag. In fact, noise cancelling headphones might actually make things worse.

Noise cancelling headphones do not offer actual protection as ear plugs and muffs do.

Good luck Goofy. Do noise cancelling headphones actually protect your ears from noise?

Anyone tried these? http://www.amazon.co.uk/7dayshop-Active-Cancelling-Headphones-Aeroplane/dp/B00AXVURFY/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1437566344&sr=1-6&keywords=noise+cancelling I cant really afford a bose :)

You must do what you feel is best Optic Axis. Take care and I wish well, Michael

...for work also. I just put in foam earplugs and put noise isolating headphones over the plugs for flights. I've tried (borrowed) noise cancelling headphones for flights and they are comparable to my big X5A earmuffs. I'm thinking about getting a pair for myself. As far as noise...

Yes noise reducing ones :)

I believe my tinnitus was actually caused by cheap headsets. Without noise-cancelling capability, I normally max out the volume to hear the music playing especially when I'm outside. With noise-cancelling you don't have to do this. I was also into white noise when it started by over time, I...

Maybe give noise cancelling headphones a try?

I love going on road trips. I recommend that you wear noise cancelling headphones (over earplugs to protect against the headphones - as some people get tinnitus as a result of noise cancelling headphones). They are comfortable, go a long way towards eliminating the road noise, and prevent...

Just curious: Doesn't using ear plugs and headphones make your tinnitus that much more noticeable?

I have had the opposite experience. I tried both, and the noise cancelling headphones seemed to definitely provide more protection than my X5A muffs. I guess it depends on a plane.

I'm wearing my Bose noise cancelling right now. Love them :)

So they block the car only with the noise cancellation on? I had some cheap ones before my ear trouble and they made a very hear able white noise to camouflage the surroundings :D White noise therapy?? :)

...yawning etc? If so, you should be fine. You can take a decongestant and use Afrin before flying if you are worried about it. You can also gently pull on your earlobe while yawning to help open up your Eustachian tubes. I use normal foam earplugs and noise cancelling headphones when I fly.

I am also concerned about this. My plan is to wear earplugs with my noise cancelling headphones. I also plan to alternate wearing noise cancelling headphones with over-the-ear shooters muffs, during the flight...

Well, you know, there's a reason they are called "noise cancelling" ;) They allow you to listen at low volume since they cancel the external sounds, so you don't have to crank up the volume to drown them.

I'm happy with my Bose noise cancelling headphones. They cancel out outside noise so I can keep the volume low and still hear my content.

Noise cancelling headphones worked for me. I had huge old amalgam filling replaced. No problems with NC headphones. Much quieter.

I can't use noise cancelling headphones at all, they make me feel ill and unbalanced. Agree with one of the posters above that the lawn mower could be a culprit. You should use industrial ear muffs for ear protection and not noise cancelling headphones. Give your ears a rest and hopefully...

Ey, @Damocles, wanna join me and @Exit in our new pot factory? Pay is above the poverty line (y), and we'll give you a pair of noise cancelling headphones as protection.

Will noise cancelling headphones help with reactive tinnitus?? I listen to regular headphones and they don't affect my tinnitus.

Noise cancelling headphones are great at cancelling out low frequency sounds, I always have foam earplugs in and noise cancelling headphones over them. Just took 4 trans Atlantic flights in the past 3 months. I avoided the 777's but didn't have any lasting spikes from any of them. I've lost...

No.

...to one side, the most common reason is further exposure to loud noise or listening to audio through headphones, headsets, earbuds, noise cancelling and bone conduction headphones. If you use any of these devices, I advise you to stop using them even at low volume. It is probably a good idea...

Like the OP, I tend to hear sounds at higher volumes than most people. But there is noise, and then there is sound. To me, a waterfall is sound and pleasant, while other noises that are at the same decibel level put me on edge. If I'm on edge, my tinnitus is louder, or at least my awareness of...

I have read that noise cancelling headphones do not provide any noise protection.

Noise cancelling headphones seem to provide a little more noise reduction. They are also more comfortable - after wearing them for many hours, you won't feel like your head is in a vice (something even the best muffs will likely do after a couple of hours). Of course I understand where you are...

I use noise cancelling headphones with quiet music on it.

...Some say they are the devil's work. I would like to find any scientific factual conclusions that either prove or disprove that Noise Cancelling Headphones aggravate tinnitus. Now, given that there seems little 'scientific conclusions' on tinnitus anyway, my hope to find one on...

...plugs? i never tried molded ones, but i heard that they're not as irritating as foam ear plugs. maybe try silicone ear plugs + some noise cancelling headphones, without even turning the noise cancelling option on, or something like that. i wish you good luck and i wish myself good luck with...

I had molded earplugs, and they never bothered me. It's just something I experience with the foam ones. I've been wearing noise cancelling headphones to get some protection when I walk on noisy streets, and I've only been wearing foam plugs when I absolutely have to--basically when I'm taking...

I can't get noise cancelling earplugs anymore, my MRI begins soon. :(
