I think they're quite comfy.

I hate to say it, but a number of people on this forum are convinced that noise cancelling headphones made their tinnitus worse. :( There is no actual hypothesis about the mechanism of how this might happen. Nevertheless, people's tinnitus gets worse right after they use noise cancelling...

Why?

...will be surprised how quiet it is. Even if it is a Boeing plane, you ought to be ok, as long as you have earplugs underneath your noise cancelling headphones (as some people get T after wearing noise cancelling headphones (with no earplugs underneath) for a long time). Don't forget to have...

I just tried my electric toothbrush in my mouth with and without my noise-cancelling headphones on and it does appear to sound a lot louder in my head with the noise-cancelling headphones... might just be my model of headphones but it does seem to be some kind of occlusion effect happening, so...

I have both the latest Bose and Sony ANC headphones. The Sony's are a bit better for use in a car because they are a bit better at cancelling low and mid-range sounds. But the Bose is very close.

...I don't think the noise cancellation situation was caused by a lot of bass, it happened a couple of times and both times after using noise cancelling earbuds. I also have a pair of noise cancelling headphones and it never happened with those, which is weird. If my current situation is related...

Okay but the point still remains. Something is better than nothing and if it allows me to listen at lower volumes that has to be a good thing. Most importantly, does it harm your ears? It does not appear to be the case but I'm a little confused about that.

I don't understand noise cancelling headphones. Isn't it just using one noise to drown out another noise? So twice the noise?

Wearing the noise-cancelling headphones all day is not a good term solution, and probably making the noise sensitivity worse because your hearing is not used to be around noise anymore. I had a very long period that I was very afraid of noises because of my reactive tinnitus, but slowly I...

Talk to the dentist first. Make sure they are happy for the appointment to be a bit longer to allow for the rule: 5 seconds drilling 10 seconds off If they can use laser drills rather than conventional drills, so much the better. I use their noise-cancelling headphones rather than my own...

I understand everybody is different and the same experience might not apply to everybody but at least for me, looks like a 6-hour drive will temporarily raise my baseline level of tinnitus along with the reactivity more than a 6-hour flight. In fact, last time I flied, I didn’t have any spikes...

One further experiment I just did after posting that above: Bose Noise cancelling headphones in ears, noise cancelling ON. Not connected to any source, just headphones plus noise cancelling. JBL ANR E-series on ear headphones ON TOP OF the Bose. Switched OFF so no ANR in the JBLs, but...

...https://www.accidentlinedirect.co.uk/news/Tinnitus-from-bose-headphones-drove-young-man-to-suicide You can protect your ears using custom molded earplugs. I have also known a person who got tinnitus from using Bose noise cancelling headphones for 10 minutes at lower volume.

...to be effective because of the shorter wavelength. I have been thinking about buying some NC headphones for flying and wearing earplugs underneath, but I'm unsure. I don't see why manufacturers can't make noise cancelling and noise isolating earmuffs, but I can't find any that really do both.

I’ve been looking into TTTS. How would you describe the feeling of that? As I’m not really sensitive to loud noise (unless it’s very loud or high pitched, as I’m defensive due to my tinnitus - but not because it causes pain etc.). At the moment, sound doesn’t seem to affect the fullness. If...

So why should having less noise worsen your tinnitus except you can hear your own Tinnitus ring more and that drives you crazy. Noise cancelling is just cutting of tones from the outside nothing else.

I haven't used the earmuffs yet to be honest, I bought it after my last trip when the noise cancelling headphones was not working (and I realized that I needed something that would work without relying on technology, like they have to be charged and whatnot). Noise cancelling are really nice...

Yea that article states that noise cancellation protects your hearing by allowing you to listen to headphones at a lower volume, but nothing about protection from outside volume levels. Noise cancellation may reduce some low frequency sounds but that's about it: Noise Canceling Hearing...

My dentist provides noise cancelling headphones and I provide the music.

What about earplugs and headphones that are off?

Good luck Goofy. Do noise cancelling headphones actually protect your ears from noise?

I wear Peltor muffs. When I drive on the highway, I wear Bose noise cancelling headphones. I doubt those things will offer much protection against an airbag. In fact, noise cancelling headphones might actually make things worse.

Anyone tried these? http://www.amazon.co.uk/7dayshop-Active-Cancelling-Headphones-Aeroplane/dp/B00AXVURFY/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1437566344&sr=1-6&keywords=noise+cancelling I cant really afford a bose :)

Noise cancelling headphones do not offer actual protection as ear plugs and muffs do.

...for work also. I just put in foam earplugs and put noise isolating headphones over the plugs for flights. I've tried (borrowed) noise cancelling headphones for flights and they are comparable to my big X5A earmuffs. I'm thinking about getting a pair for myself. As far as noise...

Noise-cancelling headphones don't always work well in response to sudden mechanical noises or piercing train whistles. They are better with constant predictable noise that's not too high pitched. You may be better packing a pair of folding earmuffs in your bag for the commute if earplugs aren't...

Maybe give noise cancelling headphones a try?

Which ones? The QC 35? I have those already.

I believe my tinnitus was actually caused by cheap headsets. Without noise-cancelling capability, I normally max out the volume to hear the music playing especially when I'm outside. With noise-cancelling you don't have to do this. I was also into white noise when it started by over time, I...

I love going on road trips. I recommend that you wear noise cancelling headphones (over earplugs to protect against the headphones - as some people get tinnitus as a result of noise cancelling headphones). They are comfortable, go a long way towards eliminating the road noise, and prevent...

Yes noise reducing ones :)

Noise level with my tinnitus did decrease. I’d say that since 2023, I stopped paying attention to it entirely, and even in the bedroom, I really had to focus to hear it. My hyperacusis also improved. It was in 2024 when I noticed that fan noise, car brakes screeching, beeps, and high-frequency...

I do not use headphones on a regular basis but I do still use them. If I’m on a plane, I use the Bose noise-cancelling headphones and they help me get through the flight. I sometimes stream audio through my in-ear maskers at the lowest level to help me concentrate at work. I do not use them...

I have had the opposite experience. I tried both, and the noise cancelling headphones seemed to definitely provide more protection than my X5A muffs. I guess it depends on a plane.

Well, you know, there's a reason they are called "noise cancelling" ;) They allow you to listen at low volume since they cancel the external sounds, so you don't have to crank up the volume to drown them.

I am also concerned about this. My plan is to wear earplugs with my noise cancelling headphones. I also plan to alternate wearing noise cancelling headphones with over-the-ear shooters muffs, during the flight...

I'm wearing my Bose noise cancelling right now. Love them :)

Just curious: Doesn't using ear plugs and headphones make your tinnitus that much more noticeable?

Aren’t noise canceling headphones harmful to ears?

I can't use noise cancelling headphones at all, they make me feel ill and unbalanced. Agree with one of the posters above that the lawn mower could be a culprit. You should use industrial ear muffs for ear protection and not noise cancelling headphones. Give your ears a rest and hopefully...

I have very reactive tinnitus that will spike from the background noise and, after serious initial concerns, have now completed many domestic and international flights over the last 2+ years using 3M earplugs with noise-cancelling headphones on top - the lack of sound input causes my tinnitus to...

You must do what you feel is best Optic Axis. Take care and I wish well, Michael

I'm happy with my Bose noise cancelling headphones. They cancel out outside noise so I can keep the volume low and still hear my content.

Noise cancelling headphones worked for me. I had huge old amalgam filling replaced. No problems with NC headphones. Much quieter.

No.

I use noise cancelling headphones with quiet music on it.

Will noise cancelling headphones help with reactive tinnitus?? I listen to regular headphones and they don't affect my tinnitus.

Noise cancelling headphones seem to provide a little more noise reduction. They are also more comfortable - after wearing them for many hours, you won't feel like your head is in a vice (something even the best muffs will likely do after a couple of hours). Of course I understand where you are...

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...

I can't get noise cancelling earplugs anymore, my MRI begins soon. :(

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...

...plugs? i never tried molded ones, but i heard that they're not as irritating as foam ear plugs. maybe try silicone ear plugs + some noise cancelling headphones, without even turning the noise cancelling option on, or something like that. i wish you good luck and i wish myself good luck with...

You need to stop using all types of headphones even at low volume, otherwise your tinnitus is at risk of getting worse. The tinnitus will probably reduce over time but this doesn't mean it has gone completely away. I assure you that it hasn't! If you continue to listen to audio through...

I had molded earplugs, and they never bothered me. It's just something I experience with the foam ones. I've been wearing noise cancelling headphones to get some protection when I walk on noisy streets, and I've only been wearing foam plugs when I absolutely have to--basically when I'm taking...
