Hard to tell but mine started when I was on tour and wore noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs inbetween every show - so it was either the shows (I played fully plugged) or the constant protection that sent things over the edge for me.

I haven't tried earbuds, but foam earplugs + noise-cancelling headphones is probably the best protection you can get when driving a car. It's also more comfortable than normal double protection as the noise-cancelling headphones do not sit so tight on the head.

Yeah ok, it would be the music that is affecting you, not the noise cancelling IMO. So it can still be used to reduce noise only.

Those active noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds do not provide 100% noise cancellation, and in fact, they are not even consistent across the frequency spectrum. Where I have used them effectively is when riding as a passenger in a car for a longer drive. I find that if I put some good foam...

Hi, this is my protocol: 1. If noise exposure is over 120 dB, or if it has caused significant pain, muffled hearing, or much louder or new-onset tinnitus, contact your ENT or doctor. In some cases, it may be best to go to the ER or urgent care to discuss the use of steroids. Peer-reviewed...

Noise-cancelling headphones work for me at the dentist. Earplugs would make everything louder internally.

David, would these headphones work for tinnitus mix? Sony Noise-Cancelling Headphones WH1000XM3 They are similar to the Boss noise cancelling earphones you mentioned earlier in this thread that you said work. These go up to 40,000 Hz.

I feel your pain and you are truly one of the more serious cases on this forum. That said, I agree with what others have said; you are extremely young and very much have age on your side. You have the best chances of healing/improving, the best chances of benefitting from a cure in the future...

Hmm, okay. I started using them after my tinnitus began and I noticed silence helped it. I'll try and go back to earplugs again and see if it affects anything.

I can't use earplugs, as I found I can't talk with them in. The occlusion effect or whatever it is is just too bad, and besides my ears start hurting pretty fast when wearing earplugs. It doesn't matter what type of earplugs they are. Earmuffs just lower volume too much, about 20 dB or more...

I am posting on behalf of my son, Kevin. He developed tinnitus ten years ago after firing a gun without ear protection. He eventually habituated. In September, he attended an outdoor concert with what he believed was sufficient ear protection. However, the exposure caused a tinnitus flare, and...

When tinnitus becomes severe, it can be a very cruel and demanding condition that few people, even those who "have tinnitus," can understand. You're doing the best you can. You have to keep living your life.

Hearing cell damage is cumulative over time with exposure to noise. Each episode of tinnitus you have had is an indicator of excessive exposure to noise and hearing cell damage. Every recurrent episode of tinnitus indicates a further increase in hearing cell damage. Tinnitus from excessive...

I’m so sorry to hear about your son, Linda. This is a truly cruel condition that takes so much. Is he currently taking any medication to cope with it? Some medications are known to make it worse, which can be a difficult balance to manage given how distressing tinnitus can be. There are a...

Similar issue, I was exposed to a faulty alarm. I very foolishly dealt with the problem by first removing the batteries (which didn't work) and then unfastening the hardwired alarm. I cannot believe I didn't use my noise-cancelling headphones but it was late and I was tired and sleepy. My head...

Fully agree. One of my biggest mistakes was amping up the volume of my earbuds when I was outside (going out for a run, for instance) to drown out the environmental noise. I'm sure my prolonged exposure to loud music in 10-15 years time attributed to my gradual onset of tinnitus. Active...

I can't remember if mine beep a "power low" alert but they do announce "power on" or some such when first turning them on as well as "power off " when turning them off, so you might want to first turn yours on before wearing them. I would experiment at home to ascertain as many quirks as...

I hope your ENT is right and that you'll go back to baseline. :) On a side note, I think I've read on Tinnitus Talk that electrical noise cancelling earphones or headphones don't actually prevent noise from entering your hearing. I could be wrong, though.

The article is informative and in-line to research. I would consider Bose noise-cancelling Headphones 700 and try using the 10th of 11 levels of noise cancellation. In time, you should be able to use levels of less cancellation...

The lag in the software in noise cancelling headphones can actually cause an amplification in high frequency sounds. "Many people get expensive noise cancelling headphones in the hope that they will somehow completely shield them from environmental noise. But when they switch on their...

Hi, Cris. Did you find what you were looking for? I need it too. Thank you https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/noise-cancelling-headphones-for-socialising-%E2%80%94-dangerous-for-hyperacusis.45676/#post-607592

Interesting. What I read from a Google search was that medication-induced tinnitus is usually permanent because it reduces blood flow to the inner ear and permanently kills the hair cells there. I have always had a little bit of hiss in my head, but it was only there if I wore noise-cancelling...

Noise cancelling headphones give spikes to some people (this is likely very rare). I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose noise cancelling headphones, to protect my ears from the headphones. The headphones are great at reducing the noise of an airplane.

@dh42 For mowing the lawn, those are ear muffs, and just reduce noise. Noise cancelling headphones send an inverted sound wave to cancel out the sound...

Does anyone use noise cancelling headphones like the Bose QC35?? https://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Wireless-Headphones-Black/dp/B01E3SNO1G/ Not being able to listen to music is killing me. Over speakers music just sounds like the speakers are broken :( With the Bose headphones I can...

Maybeeeeee you can find a pair of noise-cancelling earphones and place the earmuffs over them. I'm not sure how well it would work. I know it does not work with Apple AirPods Pro's as I have tried. The earmuffs brush the microphone on the AirPods and creates a very nasty sound. But the shape of...

Do you have an explanation on how people can have problems after using noise cancelling headphones? I fail to understand how it is possible.

Active noise cancelling isn't safe. If you search this forum, you will see many testimonials where people describe having problems after using noise cancelling headphones. I wear Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones when I fly. I wear earplugs under those headphones, to protect myself from the...

Did you ever consider the 'noise cancelling headphones' contributed to your problem?

Sorry what I mean here is to put the sleep buds under the noise cancelling headphones.

I have 2 noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones. One is Bose, the other is Sennheiser. Both cancel airplane noise, lawn mowers, and such, but the Sennheiser's controls are incredibly confusing and unlabeled. I have to pull out the instructions every time just to use them, so I seldom use them...

Do you still use your noise cancelling headphones? Have you ever had a spike after using them? Thank you!

That is my experience too. I am using noise cancelling headphones in a van. I then turn up the radio and the higher frequencies are getting through better than lower frequencies. The lower frequencies of road and engine noise are down to a luxurious level.

Normally people turn on the noise cancelling and don't play Any music. The damage is due to noise cancelling. (But it's good to wear noise cancelling headphones on a plane, just wear earplugs underneath.) Given the multiple reports about it, it certainly seems possible.

Hello! Today I put on special noise-cancelling headphones when the neighbors made repairs, but then, when my phone rang, I somehow very quickly took them off, although I usually take them off carefully, so I felt the pressure drop on my eardrums. Could this really hurt my ears? How do you...

I don't know. They might work. It is weird how some very expensive headphones will not form the 2.8 MHz harmonic and then the $19 Koss KTX-PRO1 headphones do. You can try them but if you get no results, switch to the Koss.

Does anyone use noise cancelling headphones? My my own voice is so loud and sensitivity is at low tolerance at the end of the day ...

They are good quality noise cancelling headphones, and quality costs money. I tried other noise cancelling headphones but the Bose ones are by far superior.

I've recently read about a potential danger for tinnitus sufferers concerning these types of headphones. I only used them on flights, and also had a small spike afterwards, not sure if it's related though.. That's why I am making a poll to see if this is a real danger.

When you wear earplugs for flying don't you get problems with pressure between the eardrum and the earplug or is that not an issue?

...Dohm to drown out all the noise outside my apartment. It worked really well. White noise drives my tinnitus nuts now, so I can't use it anymore. If you sleep on your back, a pair of noise cancelling headphones might block it out. Just turn on the noise cancelling, don't play any audio on them.

You do realize millions of people have tinnitus, use headphones, or noise-cancelling headphones, and they never get worse or have the need to venture to online forums. You are going to get extremely biased anecdotal reports here. Basic common sense dictates that all kinds of headphones...

Tinnitus After Using Noise-Cancelling Headphones? Hi! I recently purchased some noise-cancelling headphones and although I love them, I think they may have given me tinnitus. :( It became... Thread by: subsonik, May 2, 2018, 49 replies, in forum: Support

Congratulations! Ford made a noise cancelling doghouse. Ford's noise-cancelling dog house can keep your pup calm during fireworks and thunderstorms. Daily Mail Online

Quick update. I made the journey on Tuesday, and honestly it wasn't bad. I followed previous advice and just wore noise-cancelling headphones. They actually work real good for me. No other earplugs underneath, just a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones, a cheap pair for £40 off Amazon...

Quick question: Do you have SNHL?

Hi, I recently read your posts about the low pitch hum, and I’m really struggling with it. I was wondering if yours has improved at all. Does yours come in bursts, like a hummm every few seconds, or is it constant? I’ve also noticed an increase when driving, even for short distances. I believe...

I have the Sony WH1000XM2 noise-cancelling headphones and they are comfortable to my ears.

I know everyone’s tinnitus is different, but my experience is to 100% not go anywhere near noise-cancelling headphones. I own a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4’s and will not be using them again. I wore them at our newly refurbished gym 10 days ago - their new music system must have been around (I’m...

...before then, but I'm sure most people don't, which is why they end up here, unfortunately. I should mention I don't actually use the noise cancelling function becuase the padding of the headphones is pretty thick and it muffles outside noise pretty well, even without active noise cancelling...

If you will be flying, make sure you wear ear plugs.. or buy bose noise cancelling headphones or even other brand noise cancelling headphones.

Hi all, I am thinking of purchasing noise cancelling headphones. Which is the best model? I would love to hear experiences with noise cancelling headphones. Are they better than earmuffs for flying? Thanks!
