I tried briefly the AKG N60Nc headphones and they were ok. I don't own a pair, but tried my friend's headphones... they sit on top of the ears, these headphones do not fully cover the ears as an earmuff would do. For me foar earplugs provide the best attenuation. It is normal that you sometimes...

Yes, I've flewn 6 times in total - with reactive tinnitus. I wore musician's earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones on top. Spike and fatigue: Yes. Temporary, shortlived: Yes. Anxious: Yes, but mostly the first time after my tinnitus became more reactive. In my opinion, with proper...

Yes they do! And are very good at that. Perfect for plane trips. http://en-us.sennheiser.com/professional-dj-headphones-noise-cancelling-hd-280-pro Up to 32 dB of ambient noise attenuation other good ones, more expensive...

Here are several audiograms done by an audiologist, along with my own hearing test, which I conducted in greater detail using noise-cancelling headphones and computer software. This is what the chart shows: 1. My own measurements at 2000 Hz, 3000 Hz, 4000 Hz, and 6000 Hz are within 5 dB of the...

True! But I meant as noise protection. They protect a little against high frequency noise, because they’re plastic clamped to the ear.

Hi all, Just a tip that might help somebody. I have a set of aviation headsets that have noise cancelling built into them. Unfortunately these only cancel out noise coming from outside the ear, not inside - if I manage to invent a pair that do that rest assured I shall give them away for a...

Imagine taking your date to a room similar to the one from " Fifty Shades of Gray " that's full of earplugs, earmuffs and noise cancelling devices instead of cuffs, ropes and eye masks :)

I agree with that. Had I used the Sony NC headphones + foam earplugs already last year probably my ears would be in a better state now.

I definitely think we can figure out a solution here. I’m in the same boat which is why I prefer noise-cancelling headphones over earplugs for gatherings and restaurants. But it is obviously kinda ridiculous unless desperate. I have custom moulded in-ear monitors for music and when held in...

So wearing a good noise cancelling headphone on flights is recommended?

Did you listen to audio through any type of headphones regularly before the onset of your tinnitus? This includes: earbuds, headsets, noise-cancelling and bone conduction headphones? Have you listened to audio through any of type headphones regularly since your tinnitus started, even at low...

Thanks for your reply. Very helpful. Would noise cancelling headphones help?:)

Fair shake of the sauce bottle, mate. I have Bose Noise Cancelling headphones and while they are amazing, comparing them to either custom plugs or correctly inserted earplugs is the difference between night and day as far as hearing protection goes.

Ohh, would cutting out all noise be a bad thing?? :/

Maybe these? Decent Passive and Active Noise Cancelling http://www.noisebuster.net/product/PA4000.html

They are worse because there have been some posts here of people who think that they got T as a result of active noise cancelling headphones. This is why I would never wear noise cancelling headphones without earplugs. Earplugs dampen all incoming waves. So if there are waves produced by the...

...doctors (GP, ENT, oto-neurologists) and even audiologists. Results : they did not even know the existence of such a device. Edit : tinnitus cancelling device don't exist (only white noise masking), but since noise cancelling device exist in industrial (noisy) sites, this question remains...

I would get a spike despite wearing earplugs. I began wearing Peltor muffs. I would still get a spike, but not as big as before. I will now try wearing my Bose noise-cancelling headphones. Thank you for sharing your experience.

noise cancelling bose headphones are the best for such travels , trust me

My audiologist suggested using noise cancelling over ear headphones over in ear headphones

I am in the U.S...

Noise cancelling headphones have a software lag that can cause the inverted waveform to not match up perfectly with higher frequency sounds that can actually add them instead of cancelling them out. In this animation the two top waves amplitudes sum up and the bottom one is the result...

Bose noise cancelling headphones eliminate low-frequencies similar to the hum you hear inside of an airplane cabin. This allows you to play your music at a lower volume. You can also use them to reduce the noise, and not to listen to music. === Thank you for the information, LadyDi!

Many people develop tinnitus after wearing noise cancelling headphones. I wear earplugs underneath my noise cancelling headphones (that I wear whenever I fly), those earplugs protect me from the headphones. I think your ears got hurt by the headphones and not as a result of you not taking the...

Hi Candy, I took a few flights since tinnitus onset and always had in foam earplugs and noise cancelling headphones. On my Airbus flight that was complete overkill, I agree with @Bill Bauer there. Maybe bring both and see how you feel.

So you are supposed to ask if the drills are air powered or electric? So noise cancelling headphones reduce the noise a bit? I don't recall reading this until now.

Joined the forum for this thread. I "upgraded" from Bose AE wireless 2 head phones to the QC35s. These are really nice noise cancelling headphones. I got a severe head cold a week ago and used my noise cancelling headphones listening to music for a few hours continuously. Afterwards, I had...

Although they're expensive, my Bose nose noise cancelling headphones do an amazing job of eliminating road noise. I only use them on long drives.

Yes, NC headphones should work well for these kinds of noises. I use mine on planes. They work quite effectively.

Sudafed is a decongestant. Afrin nasal spray is good too. I'm flying Saturday too. I bring gum, earplanes, earplugs, and noise cancelling headphones. If I had a cold I'd use a decongestant. Colds make T spike, and your ears were sensitive when the ambulance went by. I highly recommend the noise...

I used earmuffs.

...noise-cancelling headphones. It isn't clear why this might be happening, but data (even biased data?) trumps theory. I own Bose noise cancelling headphones. I wear them in airplanes and on a highway in a car. I make sure to wear foam earplugs underneath, and thus far I haven't had any...

Hi Bill, Thank you for your response. Is it still bad if you use the noise cancelling headphones with them turned off? In other words, I put them on but do not turn them on. Just use them to dampen the annoying sound. If this still presents a problem for tinnitus I will discontinue and...

Yea it was probably because of the lack of sleep and sleep cycle being off more than anything.

I suspect the noise cancelling caused my sudden Tinnitus last week and that of others posting here. I wonder if this is because noise cancelling generates noise to cancel background sound. I notice that all those posting here had Bose headphones. I have had the 'eeee' that @subsonik described...

Yes they were noise cancelling earphones. I didn’t and still do not have vertigo or balance issues.

Hi Michael, Although your profile states that the cause of your tinnitus is unknown, there is often an underlying reason. From your post, I suspect your tinnitus may be noise-induced, which is one of the most common causes. Since you've asked for help, my advice is to lower the volume of your...

...cars), and where / how far I'm driving. Some roads can be very noisy depending on how they are paved. I have found the Bose noise cancelling headphones to be excellent at cancelling out road noise when driving on the highway. Edit: If it's for the slim chance of airbags only, it's...

First of all, I was going to use EarPlanes earplugs under Bose noise-cancelling headphones, not just regular earplugs. Sorry about the confusion. It is also not very clear to me how Bose headphones could be bad for the ears. Search for "cancelling headphones" (with quotation marks) and you...

Does the above include noise cancelling headphones like the ones sold by Bose?

Thank you for your answers. My question might sound stupid but are there headphones that protect from noise while not being actively "noise cancelling"?

@billie48 thanks for your reply, will any noise cancelling headphones do?

Hi does noise cancelling headphones able to equalize pressure during take ascending and descending?

These muffs are similar to the ones that those guys outside of the plane have: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Peltor-Over-Earmuffs-X5A/dp/B00CPCHBCQ I will be receiving my pair later this week. I am worried that they may not be as comfortable as the expensive Bose noise cancelling headphones.

Hi, could anyone possibly recommend noise cancelling headphones? I assume that they are safe for tinnitus? Thanks again...

Don't use noise cancellation headphones, they are not safe, there are people on the forum who got tinnitus from noise cancellation headphones.

I don't play any music on them. Just cancelling noise, used them for 3 hours.

@JohnFox @Deb2019 I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones. The function of the earplugs is to protect one from the noise cancelling headphones. In theory, NC headphones reduce the intensity of the sound waves reaching one's ear. However, a number of people on...

You did not experience this worsening so no one will ? That's not how it is, unfortunately. Many people report a worsening of their T after the use of noise-cancelling headphones (with no music).

Some audiologists (but not all) know of the risks someone with noise-induced tinnitus takes, when listening to audio through earbuds, headsets, noise-cancelling headphones, bone conduction headphones and SleepBuds even at low volume. The tinnitus can get louder and might not return to its...

There are only a few headphones that will reproduce the 2.8 MHz harmonic. The best is the Koss KTX-PRO1 and they are dirt cheap at $19. Another one is the earbuds by 1MORE brand called Triple Drivers. And then there is the Bose noise-cancelling headphones at $350.

I have bose noise cancelling headphones . I fly often.. my T usually is the same.

...can make my tinnitus louder if I listen to a podcast or audiobook in a quiet environment. I've given up using them for music on a regular basis. But if you're using it purely for the noise cancelling effect and not putting any music or speech through them, I don't see how it could be a problem.

Do you have a source? I can certainly represent that with noise canceling headphones on I can listen at much lower volumes so I am skeptical of such claims. Moreover, not providing protection and causing harm are different. Noise-canceling headphones can help prevent hearing loss, if you use...

Glad those work for you. I will tell you there is a pretty significant difference in noise cancelling quality of the higher-end Bose and Sony which are probably the two highest rated, and the lower end. It basically comes down to much better cancelling, ANC circuitry quality and customization...

Glue cannot be removed by laser sadly, it's stronger than teeth.

...by 10 second pauses. Look into whether that glue could be removed using a laser. You should try it both with and without your noise cancelling headphones. I bet you will conclude that it makes no difference. I would choose Peltor muffs over noise cancelling headphones, but even that would...

@Spirriz, thank you for your feedback. I am also very interested in this subject because i have an ear condition that makes my ears extremely vulnerable to changes in pressure. At this point I'm not so concerned about the noise that can be very efficiently killed with noise-cancelling...
