Does your musical modulation mask your tinnitus? With noise cancelling headphones. I can still notice mine.

Did you have tinnitus before using the headphones??

Glue cannot be removed by laser sadly, it's stronger than teeth.

...by 10 second pauses. Look into whether that glue could be removed using a laser. You should try it both with and without your noise cancelling headphones. I bet you will conclude that it makes no difference. I would choose Peltor muffs over noise cancelling headphones, but even that would...

Do you by any chance have a link to those Bose noise cancelling head phones you are talking about?

Yea it was probably because of the lack of sleep and sleep cycle being off more than anything.

Yes, I've flewn 6 times in total - with reactive tinnitus. I wore musician's earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones on top. Spike and fatigue: Yes. Temporary, shortlived: Yes. Anxious: Yes, but mostly the first time after my tinnitus became more reactive. In my opinion, with proper...

...luck. Many of the planes in Europe are made by Airbus and those aircraft are much quieter than Boeing planes. You will want to wear noise cancelling headphones (e.g., Bose Q35) - they work great in reducing the noise inside of an airplane. A small fraction of the users of noise cancelling...

There are only a few headphones that will reproduce the 2.8 MHz harmonic. The best is the Koss KTX-PRO1 and they are dirt cheap at $19. Another one is the earbuds by 1MORE brand called Triple Drivers. And then there is the Bose noise-cancelling headphones at $350.

...out, some waves might not get cancelled out - but might instead get amplified. This could happen at frequencies that one can't hear. Search this forum for "noise cancelling headphones" and you will find multiple people reporting getting permanent problems following the use of those headphones.

...can't remember what caused your tinnitus. If it was caused by "loud noise" I strongly advise you not to listen to any type of audio through headphones and this includes noise cancelling. I still advise caution to people using headphones whose tinnitus wasn't noise induced. All the best Michael

I have the Bose QuietComfort 35. The noise cancelling is excellent and help me with my T/H.

...the use of headphones. Earbuds are even more dangerous than over-ear headphones. It is also the case that some people got T (or got a T spike) after using noise cancelling headphones. I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones. This setup works very well when...

Could it be the noise cancelling headphones are more quiet than ordinary ones, and that some people notice a T that was there previously but was masked by background noise?

hello Zug, I may try that noise cancelling headphones soon as long as my t will not get louder.

I use the Bose headset. I love them! Is anyone still listening to music with hearing protection under thier noise cancelling headphones?

Just got the LiveMus!c HearSafe https://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Noise-Cancelling/dp/B00H2F87I8/ - 2 pairs, one with 29dB NRR and one with 23dB When I put them in it feels like they dont do anything... I've used 28db foam plugs and although i know that foam offer a better...

@Gosia Did the spike go away? Were you wearing noise cancelling headphones or plugs? Thanks.

Use the bose noise cancelling headphones. The cancel the most of airplane noise and let your ears do the pressure compensation. Put some low volume music and relax.

Do you have a source? I can certainly represent that with noise canceling headphones on I can listen at much lower volumes so I am skeptical of such claims. Moreover, not providing protection and causing harm are different. Noise-canceling headphones can help prevent hearing loss, if you use...

I am sure the noise cancelling headphones started my ringing. Spent many hours flying with them. Now they ring.

Just an add that noise cancelling headphones are a good bet also. But not during ascent or descent.

Do you have ear fullness? The spike can still happen for some days after the noise exposure. Those noise cancelling headphones are inadequate protection for most MRI scanners, and most will benefit from both plugs and muffs.

I was wondering the same thing. So what you get from noise cancelling headphones is actual silence?

...the higher frequency are harder to counter because of the shorter wave length? If yes, let me tell you that it is the reason why noise cancelling headphones don't actively cancel higher frequencies, they cancel (lower) these frequencies with normal passive noise reduction. This have been of...

Are you sure the app is reliable? I brought an actual dB meter on a few legs cross country this spring, and I was getting 84-89 dB range, enough that I feel okay about slapping bunny ears on.

I was concerned about flying when I got tinnitus, don't worry about it mate. I do wear noise cancelling headphones though. Enjoy Vegas.

John, you should have read my comment fully :D Yes, if there was a lag on a high frequency, it could potentially double the volume. BUT noise-cancelling headphones don't treat high frequencies for this exact reason. They only treat lower frequencies, that they are sure to cancel, because they...

Are noise cancelling headphones where you can listen to music? I have just basic ear protection headphones such as when mowing the lawn.

I wouldn't recommend noise-cancelling headphones, because they may cause nausea for some people. I do have the new Bose in-ear noise cancelling headphones still. :) Just get quality headphones which you like. Try them before buying. If you want advice what to buy, you can ask me. I know quite a...

I have a pair of Sennheiser overear noise cancelling headphones that might be the next best thing. Tinnitus spikes aren't really my problem, rather I seem to get ear fullness and soreness after noise exposure. I've ordered a set of musician's earplugs because those rolly foamy ones are starting...

...sleep. I read it was ototoxic so I stopped, I was also given Wellbutrin which I read the same so never took. I had used my Bose noise cancelling earbuds at work as the ambient noise can be 70 dB. I stopped that after seeing lots of people claiming it did more harm than good, and that...

I'm thinking that maybe because of the noise-cancelling headphones. Even though the spike began before using them. I used them for 2 or 3 days and I felt very good... I don't know what to believe anymore.

I can't quit my job. What about buying active noise cancelling headphones/ear muffs/whatever for when I'm at home?

Just got back from a 7 1/2 hour flight and used Bose noise cancelling headphones. They work great.

...can make my tinnitus louder if I listen to a podcast or audiobook in a quiet environment. I've given up using them for music on a regular basis. But if you're using it purely for the noise cancelling effect and not putting any music or speech through them, I don't see how it could be a problem.

Nice headphones @aura :) Good article too: “Passive noise cancellation can lessen mid to high-frequency noises by about 15dB to 30dB.” So contrary to many people’s beliefs they do an okay job on middle frequency and a decent job on the highest! Depending on whether they sit sealed around your...

Do earplugs and/or noise cancelling headphones increase the bone conduction of the sound of the drill?

Did you listen to audio through any type of headphones regularly before the onset of your tinnitus? This includes: earbuds, headsets, noise-cancelling and bone conduction headphones? Have you listened to audio through any of type headphones regularly since your tinnitus started, even at low...

Hello, how loud is the atmosphere? 70 dB? 80 dB? What kind of work is it? If I may ask. Yes, noise cancelling headphones emit waves that cancel the noise of the external noise. Bose Quietcomfort is an example of NC headphones.

It depends on your tinnitus. I used 33db earplugs and Bose Noise cancelling headphones. It keeps it simple and easy.

...like to know how you perceive sound in these situations: 1 - Wearing on-ear headphones (these do not totally cover the ear or have noise cancelling, just sit on top of the ears), if you play music low and someone talks to you. Do you understand them better or worse than without the...

I'm bumping this thread up in case anyone is willing to share more opinions on noise cancelling headphones. I just saw a very knowledgeable tinnitus and hyperacusis doctor whose opinion is that noise cancelling headphones would calm the hyperacusis and most likely would not make the T worse...

Some audiologists (but not all) know of the risks someone with noise-induced tinnitus takes, when listening to audio through earbuds, headsets, noise-cancelling headphones, bone conduction headphones and SleepBuds even at low volume. The tinnitus can get louder and might not return to its...

No. There is a little light on the side of the headphones, which comes on when you turn noise cancelling on. It starts blinking when the battery is low, and it turns off when the battery is dead. These headphones will help you with the noise of the AC, but they won't work if, say, there is...

Flights went well, whole trip (both work and vacation part) went well. I highly recommend noise-cancelling headphones over earmuffs. They're more effective and comfortable.

...after my tinnitus onset. At first I thought they were great, but it didn't take long to notice they tended to exacerbate my tinnitus. I've since read a testimonial by a man who didn't have tinnitus at all, got some noise cancelling headphones for work, and tinnitus started after about a week.

Ok the gym was great, but the music was loud I had my noise cancelling headphones on but still got a spike.

Yep, got my tinnitus from my Bose headphones.

How well does this work? Is it the same as normal muffs?

I’m taking a flight Boeing A380... 8 hours. Should I wear hearing protection such as noise cancelling headphones? It’s supposed to be relatively quiet. What do frequent flyers do?

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

@Spirriz, thank you for your feedback. I am also very interested in this subject because i have an ear condition that makes my ears extremely vulnerable to changes in pressure. At this point I'm not so concerned about the noise that can be very efficiently killed with noise-cancelling...

Thanks John. I was glued to my noise cancelling headphones from about 6 months before my T. I hope everything is well with your situation.

Yes, they are noise-cancelling earmuffs. Sony WH1000XM4. "They are ineffective at high pitch noises and sudden transient noises but are effective for low frequencies like noise from engines, generators, appliances, etc". The problem is that I feel much better with them than with my Peltors and...

I will ask.

...me, no major issues on the tinnitus front. The front of the plane will generally be quieter. I carry some musicians earplugs and top of the line noise cancelling headphones with me. I thought I’d have more trouble with business lunches and dinners too, but that has been ok. Wishing you well...

...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."
