I have heard of others doing this too. Might have to take that approach. I have so many cables coming out of my PC, not sure how it will work when I want to use it for VR too... I might be ok with just wearing noise-cancelling headphones indefinitely. Maybe I risk becoming too sensitive to...

I'm certainly of the belief that people with hyperacusis should not wear noise cancelling headphones for long periods. Wearing them to reduce environmental noise is all very well (and can lull the user into a false sense of security) but once the headphones are taken off, environmental noise...

Do you notice any change in your tinnitus after cycling? Does it change at all? Also, did you try cycling hearing music? Using noise cancelling headphones? I am thinking the noise cancelling headphones probably will not solve the problem of wind if they are over the ear headphones, but there...

I wear noise cancelling headphones. Not because I think the plane will cause me any harm, but it makes me more comfortable. Much better to do stuff like reading or watching a movie.

...You can wear ear plugs underneath Bose headphones, if you are worried about it. Note that these headphones allow you to turn on noise cancelling even when they are not connected to anything. So you don't have to be listening to music in order for Bose headphones to reduce the noise around you.

My Bose wireless noise cancelling headphones definately caused my tinnitus. I'd love to know if any other brand is involved... I've never had tinnitus before except after 1 concert 40 years ago. Now it's 24/7 constantly squeeling. Not happy...

^ yes I agree, noise cancelling headphones do not block noise at all in the same way as ear protectors do. I had to stop using my Bose NCs because of nausea. It seems I am not the only one... http://gizmodo.com/355678/noise-canceling-headphones-might-make-you-motion-sick

You are right. Anyone that has noise induced tinnitus and uses headphones, even at low volume is playing with fire.

I have same issues..sucks. I heard Bose noise cancelling headphones work well..though good luck not getting caught wearing them while driving lol.. of course there are the newer ear buds :)

...the Bose QC (Quiet Comfort) 20, which are earphones with top-rated cancelling, you can wear the peltor muffs over them. Stay away from the wireless Quite *Control* 30 as the noise cancelling sucks...

Okay so I'm freaking out. I'm a very healthy 37-year-old woman with no history of tinnitus except for one when I took Wellbutrin. It went away when I stopped taking it. I have been experiencing tinnitus now for about two weeks. I noticed its onset after a really weird migraine (I have history...

I'm trying to replicate my finding, but I must have been looking at a different product. Pretty pricey though.

I couldn't live without my noise-cancelling headphones. I highly highly recommend them. Bose makes the ANC earbuds so they are more discreet, don't block out as much noise as the headphones, but are still good. Just make sure you don't get ones with Bluetooth because you can't just shut off...

...reduce the background hum inside of an airplane, allowing you to play your music at lower volume. These headphones have an on/off noise cancelling button. You can just turn them on, and not play any music, while being protected. They headphones are said to create a wave that cancels the...

I've heard of "musician's ear plugs." Is that what you have? Also, I use noise cancelling headphones and it helps with the H in loud situations. Not a musician though but love music!

It sounds like these were noise-isolating or noise-cancelling earbuds from Bose. Given that earplugs reduce the noise by at most 30 dB, I doubt the noise reduction of his earbuds was considerably lower than that of earplugs.

For me the XM4 Sony headphones I'd say was the main cause of my tinnitus because of a malfunction in the noise cancelling, and then they gave a loud feedback, like a really LOUD beep noise and my hearing was completely messed up after that. But I'd still say it was partially my fault since I had...

wear the head set, but also use a hearing protector under it, if possible. or see if there is an alternative headset with adjustable volume control and with built in noise cancelling features.

I don't have noise cancelling headphones but I've been listening to audiobooks on my iPod for six months. I keep the volume limit locked at about 50%. It actually helps quiet my T a bit. I don't have noise induced T --so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me.

I cannot tolerate noise cancelling in any form , very sensitive to phase , makes me dissy and nauseous. Besides its very unnatural , and me personally will try to protect my ears from unnatural stuff.

...test and have slight hearing loss in my right ear, so my doctor diagnosed me with Meniere's disease. I was recently recommended noise cancelling headphones and borrowed a pair from my brother. They worked amazing and I got relief from the tinnitus for the first time in months! Unfortunately...

Isn’t the counter sound outside the hearing range? I use mine all the time and haven’t noticed an increase in my T or any adverse effect. I keep my volume low though because of the cancellation effect.

I can relieve some of the pressure but it doesn't completely go away. Maybe I will try the Afrin, thank you.

Oh, now I understand. You use more comfortable muffs that provide the same NRR when combined with earplugs. Are you against Bose noise cancelling headphones because you are worried that they might make your T worse?

Now I had time to do some research. These are expensive, but seems to be what I might be looking for: Sony WH-1000XM3

When I plug my ears, my footsteps make loud thumping noise which is very loud to me. I think if you walk on heel shoes, you get much less thumping noise...but I am a man. I`m thinking of getting Bose noise cancelling earphones and just wearing them all the time, like Object16 does.

Yes I only use my phone speaker with a noise cancellation app, the white noise. I only put it in low volume near my pillow it cancels the sound and puts me to sleep like a baby, and after that the app shuts itself down after like 15 to 20 minutes.

I agree. Ear plugs are supposed to help but the worse the tinnitus is, the worse it for wearing plugs because the tinnitus is isolated or not masked at all as outside noise is blocked off. I don't know if this is a good idea but noise cancelling headphones might muffle the wind enough? I dunno.

O' I use them a lot. The Bose quiet comfort headphones are great. Normally I use them in loud environments with earplugs underneath them.

In my initial stage I had hyperacusis as well and I bought noise cancelling headsets and played music in really low and maybe it was a contributor that has improved my h so much

@xyz Earplugs, earmuffs and noise cancelling headphones may offer some relief from your over sensitivity to sound or hyperacusis. However, this is not a long term solution and you could make your symptoms worse by overuse of these products. If you're not careful other conditions can develop...

Hey I fly a lot for work. . Make sure you have noise cancelling headphones. Yea stay away from loud bars etc.. or wear ear plugs. It's easier for females to hide them with hair.

If you need to block out noise, it is better you use earmuffs and / or foam earplugs. You do not need to shell out 300 bucks for noise cancelling headphones.

Sounds familiar, my room has a huge selection of foam earplugs, some ear defenders and filter earplugs :D

Yes, but they have their limits. They can't cancel out everything. They'll do a pretty good job at cancelling out most "normal sound" but don't expect them to be perfect in handling acoustic trauma bursts (like a gunshot): they are not designed to protect you against that.

While some folks like their noise cancelling headphones, others have had issues. The simple answer is for you to return them and stay away from them. A pair of passive ear muffs can get the same thing done for less for you.

My tinnitus always ramps up when I’m driving. I don’t want to wear noise cancelling headphones mostly because that would be dangerous plus it’s illegal in my state. Any suggestions on how to keep tinnitus from spiking while driving?

No. When you invert the wave of incoming sound and play it at the same time the two sounds cancel each other out. Musicians have been doing this in studios for decades to varying degrees of phase.

...my tinnitus but I want to take uber good care of my ears especially in this early stage... Would it make sense to wear over ear noise cancelling headphones when out and about even if I am not playing music into them? ie taking bus to work, at gym, ect. I know I've read earbuds are not good...

So with the noise cancelling mode on you only hear a very soft hiss and this only in a quiet room. Is this what you were hearing? My headphones also have a "masking" feature, a weird white/pink/rainbow noise :) that I've never used because I found it to be very annoying.

I have noise isolating headphones, but I don't like using them for long periods of time. The stupid server needs to be replaced, but that's another story.

...headphones. The earplugs are there to protect me from the headphones. Of course it isn't a good idea to be actually Using (i.e., play music) headphones. With Bose noise cancelling headphones you can turn on the noise cancelling and not turn on the music, which is what I recommend that you do.

I had flown for over 24 hours several times (while wearing earplugs and noise cancelling headphones or muffs), and ended up being fine...

Thanks Glynis for your quick reply! Before I bought the headphones I used the Apple-earbuds all the time and my tinnitus didn't get as bad as it is now. So is it really the noise cancelling?

Hi there, Need advice re noise cancelling headphones. I am concerned that they emit a sound frequency to cancel external sound. Is there any harm to an already compromised limbic system in the brain. Thank you Susi

...- for instance on a plane - to insert the custom made earplugs and place headphones over it to listen to some nature noise? Or use noise cancelling headphones on a plane to play some very soft nature noise over it? Especially Micheal Leigh's opinion would be interesting, including any...

...Feel free to throw out a few shapes whilst listening to see if that has an effect too. Out of curiosity, why are you using noise cancelling headphones? I ask as I bought a pair recently for the gym - they play rubbish music through bad speakers that was killing my ears. I find that after...

I'd recommend custom moulded earplugs, there are ones that support a handy lanyard and they are very quick to put in the ears. For many purposes I imagine those being more handy than noise-cancelling headphones...

...to be able to do normally), which makes me function better. I also told him (and a previous audiologist) about some over the ear noise cancelling headphones I had been given (Bose QuietComfort 2) and how I tried them with the noise cancelling feature on and had immediate benefit from them as...

A stack of plates fell down by themselves right next to me.

I think my boyfriend have some Beats that are noise cancelling, will check how good they work. I fly rarely, my last trip was 2 years ago :) But it will of course be of interest to buy a pair if I start traveling more!
