I used EarPlane plugs for 3 flights in one day and there was absolutely no problem. Honestly, with noise cancelling headphones I don't think the levels in the cabin are an issue. It's the take off and landing where you need your EarPlane plugs with earmuffs over the top.

I am creeped out by noise cancelling headphones ,the phase inversion sound awful to me. I dont trust that stuff to be healthy for your ears.

There Have Been horror stories on this forum where people say that they got T after wearing noise cancelling headphones. It is for this reason that I have been wearing earplugs underneath my noise cancelling headphones. The headphones protect me against the noise around me, and the earplugs are...

Were you listening to any content during the flight? (music, movies, etc)

I also would like to know about the Bose noise cancelling headphones. I use mine as well. Do they aggravate T?

It's the other way around. NC headphones are very good at cancelling out low frequency noise, but not so good for the high frequencies.

...the Cochlear hair cells..and i hope with time i could be better..probably now my Cochlea is much more sensitive. I have active noise cancelling headphones (bose quietcomfort,the best). I'm not sure that noise cancelling headphones are worse than normal headphones..because with my Bose i can...

So do I, and inside of airplanes and cars they seem to provide better noise reduction than "Peltor muffs + ear plugs."

They don't offer nearly as much noise reduction inside of an airplane, as noise cancelling headphones over earplugs.

I get a spike just from watching this.

...to my tinnitus. So noise-cancelling earphones or earmuffs would really help. But i don't want more problems. So what if i use noise cancelling/isolation earphones, but ALWAYS put on some music, or white noise, at low levels - say just below my tinnitus , or just a bit above it ...

There seems to be a big divide between people who think headphones are okay at low volumes and those who think you should stay as far away from them as possible. For those of you who do use headphones, have you found there to be any difference when using closed back noise-cancelling vs open...

Sorry I am new to this app... what musician ear plugs do you recommend? Also, should I wear noise cancelling headphones over them?

I always carry Peltor X5A muffs and 3M 1100 earplugs with me wherever I go. When I travel, I also carry Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones.

What can an ear-specific MRI diagnose that a regular MRI can't?

Noise cancelling headphones over earplugs ought to bring the noise down so much that there is a good chance that you will be ok.

@Laurac1960 I use noise cancelling headphones for my H which sounds a lot like yours. I can't have anything vibrating (Ac, fans, refrigerator, my husband's voice which is gravelly). It's seriously devastating! Does yours come and go? Mine does so when you do get a break, you live in constant...

I was wearing noise cancelling headphones plugged into my tv the morning my ear started to scream. I woke up, jumped up to the sound of a crowd laughter, and my screaming ear. Threw off the headphones in a panic. Went to Dr said I had middle ear fluid. Almost 3mos in I'm not sure which is the...

I have an upcoming dental appointment and my dentist actually provides noise cancelling headphones. While I don't use headphones/earphones any longer, I suspect I will use them this week.

...getting permanently worse after flying. Temporary spikes are possible. No guarantees of course, tinnitus can be unpredictable. Noise cancelling headphones are great tho', and I think with them you don't have to worry about tinnitus getting worse at all. Which make and model do you have...

In that case, you need to know that this is a problem for earmuffs (i.e., X5A, X4A, etc) too. Having said this, usually it is possible to avoid anything touching the earmuffs and plugs while one is wearing them. I think that you would be safer if you have ear protection than if you don't. If...

I might not be the vibrations be the noise. I was thinking the same thing Bill.

Thanks! 45dB reduction is impressive!

I use the peltor x5a for flights.

How do those things work?

I thank you for your suggestions, but hypercausis is now at a level, where noise-cancelling headphones are not a good option anymore. I tried several earplugs, both hollow in the stem, foam etc. but my ears always hurt from them, and my pain is elevated.

I have an MRI next Thursday and was planning on bringing foam earplugs and earmuffs. The earmuffs I have are noise-cancelling 23 dB. Should that suffice? My tinnitus is already screaming so don't want to make it worse and have some hyperacusis I believe too. So a bit nervous about it but...

Is this the first time you experience a spike after using the noise-cancelling headphones? I'm asking because something similar happened to me but I'm not sure if the headphones caused it.

I mean are there any sounds coming like voice prompts or various beeps when using noise cancellation feature. For example voice prompt saying battery is low etc.

making notch filter hearing aids would not be that complicated using phase reversal , same principle as noise cancelling hedphones. At least in theory.

I don't think it's the sound of the electric car or it being electric will help as the road noise would be more than an engine in a regular one. I bought a Lexus and it is 50 dB driving under 40 mph. You might be like me and reactive to the vibration from the tires on the road. So the fact that...

This points something I've been wondering about: has anyone found a safe way to listen to podcasts while jogging? Doing so was one of my consistent pleasures before my acoustic trauma, and I'm both terrified to cause further damage and also searching for some way to accompany myself on my long runs.

Do you use them headphones just for the noise cancelling, or do you listen to music through them as well? Any spikes from listening to them?

You can try noise-cancelling headphones: they'll let you listen to content at low volume.

What if the MRI spikes you permanently? :(

@Thongjy, yes of course you can. Just don't increase the volume too loud. @SoulStation, noise cancelling headphones are NOT a good idea, because they actually increase the amount of sound to the ear by cancelling out sound. They can also disturb the inner ear and make some people feel nausea -...

So what’s the best protocol to follow when flying? Muffs or headphones (no music)?

I used to use noise cancelling headphones which work great in reducing cabin sound.

A few thoughts from someone with long-standing tinnitus who's been on well over a hundred flights around the world with tinnitus: (1) Does my tinnitus get worse after a flight? Not noticeably, maybe for a little while because all loud noise, including plane noise, spikes my tinnitus for at...

...severe category. The gym I used to frequent would always have fairly loud music playing through their speakers. I used crappy non-noise cancelling earbuds (iPhone) at maximum volume levels in an attempt to block out their music so that I could listen to my very own music... so imagine that...

i'm just being goofy but it'd be nice if this noise cancelling circuit cancelled my fuggin tinnitus.

...a pair of Bose QC 20 earplugs. They have noise-cancelling that very effectively lowers continuous low-frequency sound. They are expensive, though. Most noise cancelling headphones are ineffective. Bose seems to have mastered the tech. But for most noise situations, earplugs/earmuffs are best.

Ok thanks, so probably i will get the 25:). I think i will use them mainly just for noise cancelling on flights so i don‘t want to spend a fortune. Altough maybe i will use just ear plugs, not too sure yet:)

For dentistry? No. Noise canceling headphones offer no more protection against bone conduction of noise than do earplugs. Stephen Nagler

Well I just bought Bose's new Quiet Comfort 20 in-ear noise cancelling headphones. They are quit amazing. Read a review here: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/travelers-sanctuary-bose-quiet-comfort-20-noise-canceling-earphone

Did it happen right after using the headphones or was it a delayed spike? I didn't have this problem. As I said, I felt very comfortable using them. Bought them only for the car but realised that I felt better with them than with my Peltors especially in high traffic areas.

Or noise cancelling headphones, as mentioned a few messages ago.

...headphones in from the car, but as I suggested I think the seal would have been a bit too tight with my own ones, even though the noise cancelling may be a bit better. The thing was that my dentist was desperate to play music through them for me, even though that's something I avoid because...

That looks like @Damocles behind that machine. According to how @aura has described him, I'd say yes that's him. No ear protection though, must like noise.

No form of headphones/earbuds are safe including noise cancelling ones, even if you use the best hearing protection in the world with them. You are taking a risk and if your tinnitus gets worse then you will learn, by that time it'll be too late. Be smart and forget headphones and listen through...

What are they like? Are they ones that play sounds to mask tinnitus?

They are headphones https://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Wireless-Headphones-Cancelling/dp/B0756CYWWD

Oh, what the heck.... That's me on stage, more than a decade ago, sweaty, with tinnitus BUT with noise cancelling headset though (and fitter to be honest) :D Simply seeing all this copper hurt my ears now :eek:

I'm about to fly around the planet twice, so you don't think foam plugs are enough?

I haven’t found any. I know that noise cancelling headphones and earbuds do the job and they make your voice not sound loud in your head but they have a slight’ pressure’ sensation.

Have you tried wearing earplugs and noise cancelling headphones? Bose 25 headphones can really make a difference, as far as car noise is concerned.

@Steve @TuneOut Do noise cancelling headphones like the bose qc35 actually give you protection like earmuffs and plugs? or do they just cancel out the noise without actually giving you any db protection?

Hi David, I was going to give this a go. I was wondering if I could use my Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Headphones? In the UK it's quite tricky getting the KOSS but I could try and source them if the Sony are no use. Thanks.

A drummer? Gonna have to pick your brain sometime! :troll::troll:

Thanks, that's expensive, but I'm sure they are nice. Are there any that act as earmuffs (canceling outside sound that way) and just have headphones inside? Is it safe to use them moderately noisy environments?
