...Some say they are the devil's work. I would like to find any scientific factual conclusions that either prove or disprove that Noise Cancelling Headphones aggravate tinnitus. Now, given that there seems little 'scientific conclusions' on tinnitus anyway, my hope to find one on...

So they block the car only with the noise cancellation on? I had some cheap ones before my ear trouble and they made a very hear able white noise to camouflage the surroundings :D White noise therapy?? :)

So wearing a good noise cancelling headphone on flights is recommended?

Thanks for your reply. Very helpful. Would noise cancelling headphones help?:)

Ey, @Damocles, wanna join me and @Exit in our new pot factory? Pay is above the poverty line (y), and we'll give you a pair of noise cancelling headphones as protection.

Fair shake of the sauce bottle, mate. I have Bose Noise Cancelling headphones and while they are amazing, comparing them to either custom plugs or correctly inserted earplugs is the difference between night and day as far as hearing protection goes.

Ohh, would cutting out all noise be a bad thing?? :/

noise cancelling bose headphones are the best for such travels , trust me

...doctors (GP, ENT, oto-neurologists) and even audiologists. Results : they did not even know the existence of such a device. Edit : tinnitus cancelling device don't exist (only white noise masking), but since noise cancelling device exist in industrial (noisy) sites, this question remains...

I would get a spike despite wearing earplugs. I began wearing Peltor muffs. I would still get a spike, but not as big as before. I will now try wearing my Bose noise-cancelling headphones. Thank you for sharing your experience.

...yawning etc? If so, you should be fine. You can take a decongestant and use Afrin before flying if you are worried about it. You can also gently pull on your earlobe while yawning to help open up your Eustachian tubes. I use normal foam earplugs and noise cancelling headphones when I fly.

I tried briefly the AKG N60Nc headphones and they were ok. I don't own a pair, but tried my friend's headphones... they sit on top of the ears, these headphones do not fully cover the ears as an earmuff would do. For me foar earplugs provide the best attenuation. It is normal that you sometimes...

I have read that noise cancelling headphones do not provide any noise protection.

My audiologist suggested using noise cancelling over ear headphones over in ear headphones

Maybe these? Decent Passive and Active Noise Cancelling http://www.noisebuster.net/product/PA4000.html

They are worse because there have been some posts here of people who think that they got T as a result of active noise cancelling headphones. This is why I would never wear noise cancelling headphones without earplugs. Earplugs dampen all incoming waves. So if there are waves produced by the...

True! But I meant as noise protection. They protect a little against high frequency noise, because they’re plastic clamped to the ear.

I agree with that. Had I used the Sony NC headphones + foam earplugs already last year probably my ears would be in a better state now.

Bose noise cancelling headphones eliminate low-frequencies similar to the hum you hear inside of an airplane cabin. This allows you to play your music at a lower volume. You can also use them to reduce the noise, and not to listen to music. === Thank you for the information, LadyDi!

Joined the forum for this thread. I "upgraded" from Bose AE wireless 2 head phones to the QC35s. These are really nice noise cancelling headphones. I got a severe head cold a week ago and used my noise cancelling headphones listening to music for a few hours continuously. Afterwards, I had...

Noise cancelling headphones are great at cancelling out low frequency sounds, I always have foam earplugs in and noise cancelling headphones over them. Just took 4 trans Atlantic flights in the past 3 months. I avoided the 777's but didn't have any lasting spikes from any of them. I've lost...

Hmmm, I cannot find the exact forum post I read earlier where the person with drug-induced tinnitus eventually had it fade to almost nothing, but here is something from Google’s AI search. I know it is not necessarily infallible, but still worth noting: Have you had a hearing test? That would...

Imagine taking your date to a room similar to the one from " Fifty Shades of Gray " that's full of earplugs, earmuffs and noise cancelling devices instead of cuffs, ropes and eye masks :)

Noise cancelling headphones have a software lag that can cause the inverted waveform to not match up perfectly with higher frequency sounds that can actually add them instead of cancelling them out. In this animation the two top waves amplitudes sum up and the bottom one is the result...

Sudafed is a decongestant. Afrin nasal spray is good too. I'm flying Saturday too. I bring gum, earplanes, earplugs, and noise cancelling headphones. If I had a cold I'd use a decongestant. Colds make T spike, and your ears were sensitive when the ambulance went by. I highly recommend the noise...

Although they're expensive, my Bose nose noise cancelling headphones do an amazing job of eliminating road noise. I only use them on long drives.

I am in the U.S...

So you are supposed to ask if the drills are air powered or electric? So noise cancelling headphones reduce the noise a bit? I don't recall reading this until now.

Many people develop tinnitus after wearing noise cancelling headphones. I wear earplugs underneath my noise cancelling headphones (that I wear whenever I fly), those earplugs protect me from the headphones. I think your ears got hurt by the headphones and not as a result of you not taking the...

Hi Candy, I took a few flights since tinnitus onset and always had in foam earplugs and noise cancelling headphones. On my Airbus flight that was complete overkill, I agree with @Bill Bauer there. Maybe bring both and see how you feel.

I suspect the noise cancelling caused my sudden Tinnitus last week and that of others posting here. I wonder if this is because noise cancelling generates noise to cancel background sound. I notice that all those posting here had Bose headphones. I have had the 'eeee' that @subsonik described...

First of all, I was going to use EarPlanes earplugs under Bose noise-cancelling headphones, not just regular earplugs. Sorry about the confusion. It is also not very clear to me how Bose headphones could be bad for the ears. Search for "cancelling headphones" (with quotation marks) and you...

@billie48 thanks for your reply, will any noise cancelling headphones do?

Does the above include noise cancelling headphones like the ones sold by Bose?

Yes they were noise cancelling earphones. I didn’t and still do not have vertigo or balance issues.

Thank you for your answers. My question might sound stupid but are there headphones that protect from noise while not being actively "noise cancelling"?

Yes, NC headphones should work well for these kinds of noises. I use mine on planes. They work quite effectively.

...cars), and where / how far I'm driving. Some roads can be very noisy depending on how they are paved. I have found the Bose noise cancelling headphones to be excellent at cancelling out road noise when driving on the highway. Edit: If it's for the slim chance of airbags only, it's...

Hi Bill, Thank you for your response. Is it still bad if you use the noise cancelling headphones with them turned off? In other words, I put them on but do not turn them on. Just use them to dampen the annoying sound. If this still presents a problem for tinnitus I will discontinue and...

Hi does noise cancelling headphones able to equalize pressure during take ascending and descending?

Like the OP, I tend to hear sounds at higher volumes than most people. But there is noise, and then there is sound. To me, a waterfall is sound and pleasant, while other noises that are at the same decibel level put me on edge. If I'm on edge, my tinnitus is louder, or at least my awareness of...

These muffs are similar to the ones that those guys outside of the plane have: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Peltor-Over-Earmuffs-X5A/dp/B00CPCHBCQ I will be receiving my pair later this week. I am worried that they may not be as comfortable as the expensive Bose noise cancelling headphones.

I don't play any music on them. Just cancelling noise, used them for 3 hours.

...noise-cancelling headphones. It isn't clear why this might be happening, but data (even biased data?) trumps theory. I own Bose noise cancelling headphones. I wear them in airplanes and on a highway in a car. I make sure to wear foam earplugs underneath, and thus far I haven't had any...

Hi, could anyone possibly recommend noise cancelling headphones? I assume that they are safe for tinnitus? Thanks again...

You did not experience this worsening so no one will ? That's not how it is, unfortunately. Many people report a worsening of their T after the use of noise-cancelling headphones (with no music).

Don't use noise cancellation headphones, they are not safe, there are people on the forum who got tinnitus from noise cancellation headphones.

I used earmuffs.

@JohnFox @Deb2019 I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones. The function of the earplugs is to protect one from the noise cancelling headphones. In theory, NC headphones reduce the intensity of the sound waves reaching one's ear. However, a number of people on...

I have bose noise cancelling headphones . I fly often.. my T usually is the same.

I definitely think we can figure out a solution here. I’m in the same boat which is why I prefer noise-cancelling headphones over earplugs for gatherings and restaurants. But it is obviously kinda ridiculous unless desperate. I have custom moulded in-ear monitors for music and when held in...

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

...to one side, the most common reason is further exposure to loud noise or listening to audio through headphones, headsets, earbuds, noise cancelling and bone conduction headphones. If you use any of these devices, I advise you to stop using them even at low volume. It is probably a good idea...

Noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs could do the trick.

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

Glad those work for you. I will tell you there is a pretty significant difference in noise cancelling quality of the higher-end Bose and Sony which are probably the two highest rated, and the lower end. It basically comes down to much better cancelling, ANC circuitry quality and customization...

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