I've done research and have determined that 3M Peltor X5A are probably the best earmuffs to get. I wanted name brand, high dB rating, and soft muffs. I haven't ordered them yet. I right now put wired earbuds under my earmuffs when e.g., mowing the yard to listen to YouTube or whatever. The stem...

So I’ve had tinnitus and hyperacusis for 4+ years and lately I’ve been learning to meditate with guided meditation. Problem is when I get into a deep meditative state, any noise I hear during (even the sound of my cat grooming himself), sends my nervous system off the charts, which results in...

His description sounds like my tinnitus. I recommend that he stop using noise-cancelling headphones for a while. They made my tinnitus worse.

...use the rotary grinder, but I decided to measure the noise afterwards, and it registered at 105 dB. I was wearing the Soundcore Q45 noise cancelling headset, which is rated to provide 20 dB of protection. I worked on and off for about 10 minutes, using the grinder for a minute and then...

I’m due to have some dental fillings later on this evening. Many posts have been made on this subject, with the main advice being don’t wear earplugs or earmuffs to avoid the occlusion effect, and get the dentist to drill 10 second on 10 second off. However, has anyone ever worn...

...Currently I am using earplugs + ear muffs when using a car or bus. Which makes it somewhat tolerable but still annoying. I have read that noise cancelling headphones are better at cancelling out low frequency sounds like engine noise. Is this true? Has anyone had any experiences with this?

I've been thinking a long time about getting some noise-cancelling headphones, that I can use in social settings when talking. Not big social settings, just settings with 3-4 people. I could use earmuffs, but I feel it is a little too dramatic as I don't (mostly) react severely to human voices...

Noise-cancelling headphones are useful for the constant plane noise. The earmuffs are better for dampening the engine noise during takeoff and landing. Earmuffs alone are probably good enough but they get uncomfortable for me.

...that I have been having for the last 2months plus exposure to loud music using earbuds. I have some question you regarding Bose noise cancelling system. I wore them for a few mins and felt some relieve and I could barely hear the ringing in ears with them on. Can the noise canceling...

Hello guys, Just wondering what the best noise cancelling earphones your guys can recommend for constant loud industrial noise, Thank you in advance Jade :)

Are noise-cancelling headphones safe to use at a low volume, for extended periods of time?

...asked for but I am looking for a few more specifics and thought you guys would probably be the experts! I am looking for a pair of noise cancelling headphones. I suffer from depression and anxiety and have been trying to get into the habit of reading in the evenings to de-stress and create...

Hello Guys, I want to buy some noise cancelling headphones for when I start school this upcoming Monday.

Hey all, I’m wondering what is the best way to block out bass in loud environments? I noticed the attenuation provided by earplugs is pretty bad in low frequencies. Anyone who has Bose noise-cancelling headphones has probably noticed how they crackle in loud environments or from loud bass...

If I use noise cancelling headphones, will they protect me from loud noises? I can't hear any outside noises with them on but does that mean they are protecting me?

I have AirPods Pros. They are great for most everything, but if you connect them to a Windows PC and the battery goes low, the beep is INSANELY LOUD. Like dangerously so, not just paranoid levels. Like you could literally hurt your hearing if it happens enough times in a row. This is non issue...

Anyone with tinnitus who has any experience of these noise cancelling headphones on intercontinental flights? Are they safe to use? Without listening to anything, just blocking out the noise from the engines? My worry is that since they do double the noise to cancel it by destructive...

Are Bose noise cancelling headphones used to block noise or to listen to music? Can Peltor muffs be used during a flight?

Can anyone recommend any noise cancelling headphones? I use ear plugs for loud noises (vacuuming, etc) but I've been looking at getting some headphones that I can quickly put on in the event of sudden loud noises (like a smoke alarm) for immediate protection. The ear plugs I have laying around...

...headphones would be a better for a long haul flight? Can you use your own headphones on a flight? I was going to get some active noise cancelling ones like the Bose quiet comforts, but I've been put off by some of the things I've read on here. Even though I don't personally believe they...

...and read for awhile. However, that was before, when I could experience silence, and now I cannot. I was wondering if getting some noise cancelling headphones to play low volume soothing sounds or light classical music would help mask the noise while I'm reading. Could this help or would it...

Hello guys, I'm looking for a pair of noise cancelling headphones to plug on my ears when I'm playing in a band and near loud speakers. It should come with a neck mount like in the attached picture. Without audio input. If someone knows of headphones like these, please tell me.

In an ideal world, our ears would generate their own noise-cancelling sound waves to fend off the incoming noises that aggravate us.

This year I have used my noise cancelling Bose headset every time I cut my lawn with my riding mower. And I had been using them at work at my desk. Suddenly, a few weeks ago I got tinnitus in my right ear. Has not gone away. I don't turn up the volume except when cutting the lawn. I'm...

Would noise cancelling headphones help me or hurt me? I found a pair of noise cancelling headphones while cleaning my mother's garage. My nephew, who works in landscape maintenance, left them there. I wonder if I could go to a ball game or mow the lawn again while wearing them? What are your...

I see. Which earmuffs did you use? I’m using the Peltor X5A.

...in tinnitus suffering, advice me with this: I need urgent advice, because I'm here with a new tinnitus spike. I want advice about noise cancelling BOSE headphones. Tell me please, did you use them? And if yes, which ones are better to choose, over the ear or in ear? I need them to protect...

...noise damage. I have 100% loss of hearing in my right ear with significant tinnitus. I have been experimenting with the use of noise cancelling headphones as a means to get some relief. Though my right ear is 100% deaf, the ambient sound waves entering my good ear has a major impact on the...

Yes, I emailed Opus, and this was the response from an employee there:

Hi all, I am quite new to this forum but I’ve read a lot of threads and I’ve seen people warn others that using Active Noise-Cancelling (ANC) headphones can be harmful to people with tinnitus. I apologise if these questions have been asked before. The question is: are ANC headphones known to...

Hi guys, I have a question about QuietOn's earplug. They claim to reduce low frequency sounds like bass, heavy traffic sounds and airplane noises by an active process. The earplugs blocks sounds and then transmits high and mid frequency sounds into your ear, therefore actively blocking low...

Anyone know if using Noise cancelling at the gym safe for T?

I will say that the new AirPods Pro 2 is probably one of the best active and passive noise-cancelling mechanisms out there. I have to be cautious about loud noises being played through them. However, playing brown noise through them while in a grocery store with active noise-canceling turned on...

...sore on and so tight. Once they trapped a nerve in my face (the sensation went away a few minutes after taking them off). Would noise cancelling headphones help? Or the bespoke ear plugs? Also I've got hearing loss since. Would it help to get the hearing aids with white noise? Thanks for...

...mild, high frequency tinnitus for about 8 months. I'm really confused by how I perceive it differently with two different kinds of noise cancelling devices. I have both in-ear and over-the-ear noise cancelling Bose headphones. When I use the over-the-ear one (QC-35) I hear my ringing very...

Hi, A brief backstory: no matter what I eat, my tinnitus does not spike. Even relatively loud noises usually do not affect it. Yesterday, my sister had a shouting rant. She was extremely loud and mean, and I was only a few meters away from her. I would guess it was over 100 decibels. I tried...

...it's 50dB. If you get above that limit, you have to have a practical test to prove you can hear what you need to hear. When using noise cancelling headphones, colleagues and friends have often asked me how it can be BETTER for your ears to introduce MORE noise. I try to explain about phasing...

...were signs, like strange sounds similar to seashell resonance when trying to sleep. It was also the first time I had ever used noise cancelling headphones so I'm pretty sure that is the cause, because a lot here got it the same way and my doctor said my ears looked fine and my hearing is...

Since some devices are able to "cancel" certain noises by emitting opposite frequencies, can we imagine that tinnitus cancelling devices would exist one day? Or is it absurd to think so because T is not a "real" noise?

Hello, I have seen many positive reviews about Sony and Bose noise cancelling headphones - especially about the Sony. I have both tinnitus and hyperacucis but the latter one is a much bigger issue for me. I have earplugs at home but I don't want to use them all the time since they irritate my...

Hyperacusis went away after 2 weeks of zero hours of noise cancelling headphones use. Looks like overprotection was an issue? Hmm. Okay...

Hi everyone, I have mild tinnitus, but after trying Sony WH-1000XM3 noise cancelling earphones once without any input sound, my tinnitus flared up loudly. I left it for a day and the tinnitus calmed down, late that evening I tried the noise cancelling headphones again for about 2 minutes, and...

...flight in just over a week. Last long haul I did, I used a pair of my husband's ear muffs (industrial grade, not sure of the brand). Which ear muffs are best for cutting out low frequency noise? What about noise cancelling headphones? Any that offer protection as well? Thanks in advance! Sam.

I’m almost a year into my tinnitus experience and still have not habituated. I continue to struggle with sleep, which remains the most difficult symptom I deal with. Getting good sleep is at the top of my list of needs. I do take medication to help with that. Most nights, I take 1 mg of...

I'd like to try noise-cancelling headphones but always been worried about them setting off whilst I am wearing them with a beep or voice - or a 'battery low' message etc... Do you get this with noise-cancelling headphones? I am planning a flight next month for the first time.

I believe mine started when I accidentally blasted myself with music while wearing noise-cancelling headphones. It took a few days for the symptoms to really come into effect. Prior to that accident, I had already had tinnitus for about eight years but had grown accustomed to it.

Question to the community: Do noise cancelling headphones *actually reduce* the decibels and sound waves hitting the ear? Or do they just create algorithms that keep your ears from *noticing* those decibels/sound waves? If they actually reduce decibels, that's amazing obviously. If they only...

I want to purchase a pair of lower-priced over the ear noise-cancelling headphones for protection only. I don't want to listen to music with them, at all. I don't need Bluetooth, or anything like that, and they must be over the ear. I would likely wear earplugs under them, as Bill Bauer does...

He does not have regular tinnitus. He has something similar to what I have, and it is brutal. He is going to need a lot of support, especially from others who are severely affected. Do you have weird tones like this too? I am going absolutely insane. I wear earplugs all the time and I am...

I see. Are noise-cancelling headphones better at protecting from the noise of the plane than earmuffs are?

Hi! I recently purchased some noise-cancelling headphones and although I love them, I think they may have given me tinnitus. :( It became noticeable around two weeks ago, when I first purchased the headphones. I may have turned them up a little loud when I first got them, but nothing crazy...

Have any of you tried wearing electronic earmuffs designed for people who shoot guns? If so, how do they differ from regular noise-cancelling earmuffs? Are they basically the same and just marketed toward different types of customers, or are they significantly different in quality and intended...

Are there any noise canceling devices we can install in a car to reduce noise?

...to the cinema and ever since I got tinnitus (over 2 and a half years ago) I’ve been too scared to go back as I know they can often be around 100-110 dB! I have now purchased some noise cancelling headphones that are NRR 28. Do you guys think it would be safe for me to go back to the...

...it is that I sleep with in ear ear phones. Although they are not loud they are on most of the night. Sometimes I will just use the noise cancelling function. Could this be the reason for my tinnitus? Also it seems to change. At night it is triggered with noise from the tv or breathing and...

I am about to have a flight in few days so I bought online a pair of used noise canceling headphones (sony mdr 100abn) and noticed that they produce low-level static noise regardless whether noise canceling is switched on or off. Is it normal or did I just get a faulty unit? They work quite...
