I'm thinking that maybe because of the noise-cancelling headphones. Even though the spike began before using them. I used them for 2 or 3 days and I felt very good... I don't know what to believe anymore.

They also have a low noise cancelling setting, which doesn’t cause that sense of pressure full nc can.

Any type of headphone including noise cancelling, can make tinnitus worse for some people. I agree not everyone will be adversely affected. However, in my opinion anyone with noise induced tinnitus is taking a risk and playing with fire by using these dangerous devices. Michael

Noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs could do the trick.

...luck. Many of the planes in Europe are made by Airbus and those aircraft are much quieter than Boeing planes. You will want to wear noise cancelling headphones (e.g., Bose Q35) - they work great in reducing the noise inside of an airplane. A small fraction of the users of noise cancelling...

Nice headphones @aura :) Good article too: “Passive noise cancellation can lessen mid to high-frequency noises by about 15dB to 30dB.” So contrary to many people’s beliefs they do an okay job on middle frequency and a decent job on the highest! Depending on whether they sit sealed around your...

Hoping custom made earplugs and some noise cancelling muffs will keep my hearing and Tinnitus from getting worse.

Do you by any chance have a link to those Bose noise cancelling head phones you are talking about?

Did you have tinnitus before using the headphones??

Does your musical modulation mask your tinnitus? With noise cancelling headphones. I can still notice mine.

...out, some waves might not get cancelled out - but might instead get amplified. This could happen at frequencies that one can't hear. Search this forum for "noise cancelling headphones" and you will find multiple people reporting getting permanent problems following the use of those headphones.

...the use of headphones. Earbuds are even more dangerous than over-ear headphones. It is also the case that some people got T (or got a T spike) after using noise cancelling headphones. I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones. This setup works very well when...

...can't remember what caused your tinnitus. If it was caused by "loud noise" I strongly advise you not to listen to any type of audio through headphones and this includes noise cancelling. I still advise caution to people using headphones whose tinnitus wasn't noise induced. All the best Michael

I use the Bose headset. I love them! Is anyone still listening to music with hearing protection under thier noise cancelling headphones?

I have the Bose QuietComfort 35. The noise cancelling is excellent and help me with my T/H.

Could it be the noise cancelling headphones are more quiet than ordinary ones, and that some people notice a T that was there previously but was masked by background noise?

hello Zug, I may try that noise cancelling headphones soon as long as my t will not get louder.

...sleep. I read it was ototoxic so I stopped, I was also given Wellbutrin which I read the same so never took. I had used my Bose noise cancelling earbuds at work as the ambient noise can be 70 dB. I stopped that after seeing lots of people claiming it did more harm than good, and that...

Hi @Stoic turmoil, I am sorry to hear of the difficulties that you are going through with tinnitus. Noise-induced tinnitus usually gets better with time, so try to keep strong. I advise you to try and stop listening to audio through your headband as this could make your tinnitus worse and cause...

Do you have ear fullness? The spike can still happen for some days after the noise exposure. Those noise cancelling headphones are inadequate protection for most MRI scanners, and most will benefit from both plugs and muffs.

Just got the LiveMus!c HearSafe https://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Noise-Cancelling/dp/B00H2F87I8/ - 2 pairs, one with 29dB NRR and one with 23dB When I put them in it feels like they dont do anything... I've used 28db foam plugs and although i know that foam offer a better...

...me, no major issues on the tinnitus front. The front of the plane will generally be quieter. I carry some musicians earplugs and top of the line noise cancelling headphones with me. I thought I’d have more trouble with business lunches and dinners too, but that has been ok. Wishing you well...

@Gosia Did the spike go away? Were you wearing noise cancelling headphones or plugs? Thanks.

...the higher frequency are harder to counter because of the shorter wave length? If yes, let me tell you that it is the reason why noise cancelling headphones don't actively cancel higher frequencies, they cancel (lower) these frequencies with normal passive noise reduction. This have been of...

Use the bose noise cancelling headphones. The cancel the most of airplane noise and let your ears do the pressure compensation. Put some low volume music and relax.

Yes, they are noise-cancelling earmuffs. Sony WH1000XM4. "They are ineffective at high pitch noises and sudden transient noises but are effective for low frequencies like noise from engines, generators, appliances, etc". The problem is that I feel much better with them than with my Peltors and...

John, you should have read my comment fully :D Yes, if there was a lag on a high frequency, it could potentially double the volume. BUT noise-cancelling headphones don't treat high frequencies for this exact reason. They only treat lower frequencies, that they are sure to cancel, because they...

I was concerned about flying when I got tinnitus, don't worry about it mate. I do wear noise cancelling headphones though. Enjoy Vegas.

I am sure the noise cancelling headphones started my ringing. Spent many hours flying with them. Now they ring.

Are noise cancelling headphones where you can listen to music? I have just basic ear protection headphones such as when mowing the lawn.

Just an add that noise cancelling headphones are a good bet also. But not during ascent or descent.

I was wondering the same thing. So what you get from noise cancelling headphones is actual silence?

I have a pair of Sennheiser overear noise cancelling headphones that might be the next best thing. Tinnitus spikes aren't really my problem, rather I seem to get ear fullness and soreness after noise exposure. I've ordered a set of musician's earplugs because those rolly foamy ones are starting...

Are you sure the app is reliable? I brought an actual dB meter on a few legs cross country this spring, and I was getting 84-89 dB range, enough that I feel okay about slapping bunny ears on.

...like to know how you perceive sound in these situations: 1 - Wearing on-ear headphones (these do not totally cover the ear or have noise cancelling, just sit on top of the ears), if you play music low and someone talks to you. Do you understand them better or worse than without the...

I wouldn't recommend noise-cancelling headphones, because they may cause nausea for some people. I do have the new Bose in-ear noise cancelling headphones still. :) Just get quality headphones which you like. Try them before buying. If you want advice what to buy, you can ask me. I know quite a...

It's just fucking crazy. I can't believe what we have to deal with. Hope you feel better soon.

I can't quit my job. What about buying active noise cancelling headphones/ear muffs/whatever for when I'm at home?

Hello, how loud is the atmosphere? 70 dB? 80 dB? What kind of work is it? If I may ask. Yes, noise cancelling headphones emit waves that cancel the noise of the external noise. Bose Quietcomfort is an example of NC headphones.

Just got back from a 7 1/2 hour flight and used Bose noise cancelling headphones. They work great.

I thank you both for the warning. I'm trying my best to be active and not put my ears at risk. I vacuum, use power tools with noise cancelling headphones and when I go to the movie, I wear custom musician earplugs. Even at the gym when some dumb kids drop plates I put earplugs in, you don't want...

Do earplugs and/or noise cancelling headphones increase the bone conduction of the sound of the drill?

So noise-canceling headphones work better than 3M PELTOR X5A? I thought noise-canceling headphones emit sounds, which are used to cancel external sounds, but still emit sounds. Wouldn't that spike your tinnitus? Can someone explain how they work without spiking tinnitus?

It depends on your tinnitus. I used 33db earplugs and Bose Noise cancelling headphones. It keeps it simple and easy.

No. There is a little light on the side of the headphones, which comes on when you turn noise cancelling on. It starts blinking when the battery is low, and it turns off when the battery is dead. These headphones will help you with the noise of the AC, but they won't work if, say, there is...

I'm bumping this thread up in case anyone is willing to share more opinions on noise cancelling headphones. I just saw a very knowledgeable tinnitus and hyperacusis doctor whose opinion is that noise cancelling headphones would calm the hyperacusis and most likely would not make the T worse...

With mine switched off, everything just sounds boomier than not wearing them at all. (Also Sony.)

I bought the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones this week and the noise cancelling is amazing, plus they are super comfortable. Sony have brought out a new version which are better again albeit more expensive. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-WH-1000XM4-Cancelling-Wireless-Headphones-Black/dp/B08C7KG5LP

...it 'feeling' too loud. When you are in a coffee shop, you also need to drown out all the ambient noise and you are tempted to increase the volume further. Try noise cancelling headphones at a very low volume. If those give you trouble, it's best to avoid headphones or any loud sound exposure.

Flights went well, whole trip (both work and vacation part) went well. I highly recommend noise-cancelling headphones over earmuffs. They're more effective and comfortable.

I’m taking a flight Boeing A380... 8 hours. Should I wear hearing protection such as noise cancelling headphones? It’s supposed to be relatively quiet. What do frequent flyers do?

...after my tinnitus onset. At first I thought they were great, but it didn't take long to notice they tended to exacerbate my tinnitus. I've since read a testimonial by a man who didn't have tinnitus at all, got some noise cancelling headphones for work, and tinnitus started after about a week.

Even at low volume bone conduction headsets can make tinnitus worse? I just bought some in hopes I could use them for masking as my tinnitus is brutal.

How well does this work? Is it the same as normal muffs?

Ok the gym was great, but the music was loud I had my noise cancelling headphones on but still got a spike.

Can I ask which headphones you use? Do you wear the headphones on top of the musician's earplugs? Thank you~

Thanks John. I was glued to my noise cancelling headphones from about 6 months before my T. I hope everything is well with your situation.

Yep, got my tinnitus from my Bose headphones.

I will ask.

I use headphones - though rarely - as well, and recently bought noise cancelling ones just to be able to listen to music or whatever without having to play it loud.
