A drummer? Gonna have to pick your brain sometime! :troll::troll:

No form of headphones/earbuds are safe including noise cancelling ones, even if you use the best hearing protection in the world with them. You are taking a risk and if your tinnitus gets worse then you will learn, by that time it'll be too late. Be smart and forget headphones and listen through...

4 weeks ago I had a 11.5 hour flight. Didnt used earplugs but did used noise cancelling headphone to cancel somewhat noise. Guess what, no spike at all:). Flying is perfectly safe with Tinnitus if you would ask me.

Oh, what the heck.... That's me on stage, more than a decade ago, sweaty, with tinnitus BUT with noise cancelling headset though (and fitter to be honest) :D Simply seeing all this copper hurt my ears now :eek:

I am generally weary of noise cancelling devices because the way they work is to play sounds that are inverted waveforms of the external sounds.. if the cancelling isn't perfect it seems like it could still be blasting sound right in your ear

So, you don't think or don't experience that using headphones worsen your tinnitus? Yours is not noise induced, is it? So if it's probably noise induced, headphones are a no-go?

Did wear noise cancelling headphones. Just as Mick said noise is internal from bone conduction. I would have lived with the removable partial if I would have known was so loud. Marcini I do wonder about the stress part.

I don't think it's the sound of the electric car or it being electric will help as the road noise would be more than an engine in a regular one. I bought a Lexus and it is 50 dB driving under 40 mph. You might be like me and reactive to the vibration from the tires on the road. So the fact that...

Sure thing, Bill. Keep in mind that the noise-cancelling works best for continuous lower-frequency sounds. And it won't offer protection from impulse sounds. This is because the mic has to record the sound then the processor has to generate an anti-sound and this takes time.

Same here. I would always work/sleep with silence (I'd wear noise cancelling headphones at work for example) as sound would distract me and prevent me from focusing.

Have you tried driving while wearing earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones (e.g., Bose 25)?

They are full over the ear headphones and is suppose reduce up to 18 decibels of active noise reduction. I will also have earplugs with me.

I have been trying to protect my ears as much as possible, but it's simply IMPOSSIBLE to protect them from every loud sound. F.E. if you're walking and a guy jumps on his motorcycle and makes a shitload of noise, you first hear it and THEN take countermeasures if necessary. Sometimes the loud...

Hi David, I was going to give this a go. I was wondering if I could use my Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Headphones? In the UK it's quite tricky getting the KOSS but I could try and source them if the Sony are no use. Thanks.

Earmuffs or noise cancelling headphones? Which gives you better protection.

You will be just fine, try not to worry and relax....

...severe category. The gym I used to frequent would always have fairly loud music playing through their speakers. I used crappy non-noise cancelling earbuds (iPhone) at maximum volume levels in an attempt to block out their music so that I could listen to my very own music... so imagine that...

I am sorry you are going through this. If you have noise cancelling headphones take them with you. If they say they have them still take your own. Both enclosed and open MRI’s are extremely loud.

...Headphones and Tinnitus : https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tinnitus-a-personal-view.18668/ I strongly advise you not to use noise cancelling headphones or any other type especially if your tinnitus was caused by exposure to loud noise. Even if it wasn't I still advise caution using any...

I use Bose ANC headphones (Quiet Comfort) regularly and haven't noticed any change in my T. When I don't play anything in them and just use the noise cancelling feature, T seems louder, which I attribute to the lack of other sounds drowning it (it's the same as when I plug my ear).

How many hours?

Would you say they are better (as far as flying is concerned) than Bose noise cancelling headphones?

This points something I've been wondering about: has anyone found a safe way to listen to podcasts while jogging? Doing so was one of my consistent pleasures before my acoustic trauma, and I'm both terrified to cause further damage and also searching for some way to accompany myself on my long runs.

Perfect! Did you use noise-cancelling earbuds at the dentist? From what I've heard, earplugs are not an option because of the occlusion effect.

Noise cancelling headphones will not make tinnitus worse unless ofcourse you pump some music through them. I've been using them for about two years with no change in tinnitus, I only use them without music to block out noise in airplanes and other noise places and they work great.

Spike might be from physical activity, not noise. Such spikes are always temporary.

Did it happen right after using the headphones or was it a delayed spike? I didn't have this problem. As I said, I felt very comfortable using them. Bought them only for the car but realised that I felt better with them than with my Peltors especially in high traffic areas.

That looks like @Damocles behind that machine. According to how @aura has described him, I'd say yes that's him. No ear protection though, must like noise.

...kind of foam and a bit of plastic to hold it together. Foam blocks out some of the noise, in the same way as earplugs do. Active noise cancelling headphones are very sophisticated and (usually) expensive. Microphones 'listen' for outside noise and then your headphones play a sound that...

A few thoughts from someone with long-standing tinnitus who's been on well over a hundred flights around the world with tinnitus: (1) Does my tinnitus get worse after a flight? Not noticeably, maybe for a little while because all loud noise, including plane noise, spikes my tinnitus for at...

I did mean buds with isolation but I didn't think about this concept - interesting - though I don't really understand fully how canceling out noise could increase it. I think the sure se215s I use are just isolating and they block out a ton of sound...

Hey man, just seen this thread, probably way too old by now but you should be okay if you wear a good pair of noise cancelling headsets I think :)

I wear my noise cancelling headphones on the plane all the time (and for the duration of the flight generally). It's great to cut down on engine noise.

...hearing be damaged? I notice that when I play even with earplugs my tinnitus is very strong afterwards. Is this just normal, should I worry about it? How do these drummers do it for 20 years in a rock band? Metallica, Foo Fighters and so on? Are the in ear monitors even more noise...

My Bose noise cancelling earphones gave me tinnitus.. .I think there must be something that they emit that is detrimental to hearing... Never had tinnitus before, only ever used them to watch sbs movies at low volumes

The QC 25s are on sale right now (corded version of the QC 35's). $115 is a pretty good deal. Apple devices: https://slickdeals.net/f/12309235-bose-qc-25-noise-cancelling-headphones-for-apple-devices-115-qc25?src=frontpage and for android devices...

Bose noise cancelling headphones seem to be doing a good job of filtering out airplane engine noise. 3M Peltor earmuffs are also very good, are a lot cheaper, but are less comfortable.

...at work? My initial tinnitus was set off by noise exposure at work. :( I don't know if you've looked into it already, but noise cancelling headphones (like the bose quietcomfort) are very good at canceling out low frequency noises. They aren't as good at canceling high frequency sounds...

That might explain your spike. You could try Peltor earmuffs + earplugs or noise cancelling headphones + earplugs.

...of noise exposure so Tinnitus as a result of noise exposure seems more likely for me. It did not immediately follow a loud noise, but seems to be from an accumulation of noise damage. Is it possible to heal? Can overuse of noise cancelling headphones at a moderate volume lead to Hyperacusis?

...to have some one that they can test new approach without lengthy process of official human trials. Also, please dont use active noise cancelling headphones! they actually produce "negative" sound wave that you dont hear much but it effectively screws up your cochlea. i wanted to buy these...

Noise cancelling headphones can give you nausea for some people. I am one of those. I had to sell my new Boses after only a few weeks of use. http://gizmodo.com/355678/noise-canceling-headphones-might-make-you-motion-sick

Did you not say your tinnitus had gone away?

Have you considered Noise Cancelling Headphones?

Not sure. Maybe someone else with real world experience of noise cancelling headphones could chip in?

Thanks for the reply Michael. I know you are right. Would 80 dB at 45 minutes on noise cancelling headphones be a risk? With protection such as Nicotinamide Riboside and/or NAC? I can see it’s a risk that most wouldn’t take on this forum.

What can an ear-specific MRI diagnose that a regular MRI can't?

According to him, would it be ok to wear earplugs under noise-cancelling headphones?

If the airplane is worse than Airbus A380 then yes, upgrade your seat. Get basic 3M 1100 earplugs and optionally earmuffs on top of them. Noise cancelling headphones are good too (on top of earplugs).

How can noise cancelling headphones cause tinnitus? this sounds weird? and yes I did a search...didn't find much - hate those regular earplugs, they hurt my ears... I thought the change of airpressure with take off/landing could possible make my tinnitus worse - up in the air the noise and...

what's the brand of your headphones?

Earplugs absorb sound waves and stop some sound from getting in your ears, Noise cancelling technology creates an opposite of the sound waves so that they are cancelled out and prevented from getting in your ears. Both offer a dB reduction. Same sort of thing but achieved differently. I'm...

i need the BOSE noise cancelling technology to protect my ears on the street, not for the music. I never play music in my ears. You think it is better not to? It's an expensive way to block out noise! Or do you play talk audio?

Hi, Hope you're doing well. would it be possible to connect with you? I seem to have gotten Tinnitus using Noise Cancelling Headphones. You're help would mean a lot to me, really!. Thank you.

My vacuum makes high pitch noises that Bose 35 doesn't seem to filter well...

Another fascinating thread on Tinnitus Talk. This forum is interesting to say the least... not sure what to think of this one. Who knew getting tinnitus would expose me to all of this :) What are the Sony noise-cancelling headphones that have worked with Tinnitus Mix, David? I have the MX3. I...

Ear muffs cut all noise, noise cancelling headphones only the constant noise.
