Hi, Cris. Did you find what you were looking for? I need it too. Thank you https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/noise-cancelling-headphones-for-socialising-%E2%80%94-dangerous-for-hyperacusis.45676/#post-607592

David, would these headphones work for tinnitus mix? Sony Noise-Cancelling Headphones WH1000XM3 They are similar to the Boss noise cancelling earphones you mentioned earlier in this thread that you said work. These go up to 40,000 Hz.

Do you know which Bose headphones you have? It’s just they range between £190 - £400?

The article is informative and in-line to research. I would consider Bose noise-cancelling Headphones 700 and try using the 10th of 11 levels of noise cancellation. In time, you should be able to use levels of less cancellation...

...something else, the more it'll learn to push it into the background. So, I'm trying to increase the time that I hear it by wearing noise cancelling headphones (Bose QC-35) while at work. Does this theory and my application make sense? Has anyone tried this before? Thanks and good luck...

I know everyone’s tinnitus is different, but my experience is to 100% not go anywhere near noise-cancelling headphones. I own a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4’s and will not be using them again. I wore them at our newly refurbished gym 10 days ago - their new music system must have been around (I’m...

So this acoustic trauma happened over a year ago and your spike is still subsiding? That gives me some hope as I'm 2.5 months into a spike and I haven't seen any improvement.

I can't use earplugs, as I found I can't talk with them in. The occlusion effect or whatever it is is just too bad, and besides my ears start hurting pretty fast when wearing earplugs. It doesn't matter what type of earplugs they are. Earmuffs just lower volume too much, about 20 dB or more...

The tinnitus I experience is generally not reactive, although can be on bad days. I have successfully used noise-cancelling headphones. This really reduces the sound of the jet engines to a very large degree. Mine charge via USB. In addition, you can pipe in an ocean sound or something very...

Maybeeeeee you can find a pair of noise-cancelling earphones and place the earmuffs over them. I'm not sure how well it would work. I know it does not work with Apple AirPods Pro's as I have tried. The earmuffs brush the microphone on the AirPods and creates a very nasty sound. But the shape of...

I have had two pairs of noise cancelling headphones that were great for continuous loud sound, airplane engines for example, but allowed in other sounds, even people talking. Just wanted to give you a heads up in your search. Best of luck with it. Maybe there are headphones capable of cancelling...

@Simon85, thank you for the reply!

Does anyone use noise cancelling headphones? My my own voice is so loud and sensitivity is at low tolerance at the end of the day ...

Do you still use your noise cancelling headphones? Have you ever had a spike after using them? Thank you!

Nope, it was the headphones with noise cancellation. I could listen to music with the noise cancellation off and my tinnitus was unaffected (low volume setting each time). You can always buy a pair and give it a go; nothing to lose but a bit of cash and exacerbated tinnitus.

It was a couple of years ago I tried the Bose ones out but IIRC, Bose was the leading brand back then when it came to noise cancellation. I don't know about specific models but I'm sure there are lots of reviews and rank lists out there for noise-cancelling headphones that are currently on the...

Here are several audiograms done by an audiologist, along with my own hearing test, which I conducted in greater detail using noise-cancelling headphones and computer software. This is what the chart shows: 1. My own measurements at 2000 Hz, 3000 Hz, 4000 Hz, and 6000 Hz are within 5 dB of the...

Noise-cancelling headphones are great for reducing the low hum whilst in flight. You may want to pack earmuffs as well for the takeoff and landing. I've flown several times with tinnitus and only once had a slight spike for a few days after taking an indirect flight with two changes along the...

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...

Quick question: Do you have SNHL?

I had suspected that could have had some effect which is why I now only wear noise-cancelling headphones when I have earplugs on, for short road trips and such. Plus I don't wear the noise-cancelling headphones for more than 30 minutes per week. Yet my tinnitus won't stop worsening, so that's...

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...

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...

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...

@Michael Leigh, question, what is the evidence for low volume noise-cancelling headphones causing issues? If the volume is low, and given an equal safe dB level coming from a speaker vs a headphone, what would be the harm to the auditory system? Or are you just referring to possible exacerbation...

I don't know. They might work. It is weird how some very expensive headphones will not form the 2.8 MHz harmonic and then the $19 Koss KTX-PRO1 headphones do. You can try them but if you get no results, switch to the Koss.

...Dohm to drown out all the noise outside my apartment. It worked really well. White noise drives my tinnitus nuts now, so I can't use it anymore. If you sleep on your back, a pair of noise cancelling headphones might block it out. Just turn on the noise cancelling, don't play any audio on them.

Yes, so the earbuds had a noise cancelling setting, which just is basic white noise that drowns out sounds around you. And then I had downloaded a pink noise mp3 to my phone and would play it to listen through them. I'd use them separately. They were Bose Quiet Control Wireless Headphones. So...

Does it reduce the sound more than Peltor earmuffs?

Hi @twa, I use the Sony WH-1000XM4 noise-cancelling headphones. No earplugs underneath. I just carry the musician's earplugs just in case, but very rarely use them.

Yes that's what I meant. I just used white noise as a layman's term, wasn't sure what else to describe it as since that's what it sounded like. Sorry, I don't know much about this stuff. Either way, I still got worse. I used the noise cancellation setting for going outside and being around loud...

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...

The lag in the software in noise cancelling headphones can actually cause an amplification in high frequency sounds. "Many people get expensive noise cancelling headphones in the hope that they will somehow completely shield them from environmental noise. But when they switch on their...

Planes can be very loud. I use noise cancelling headphones, and they seem to do the trick.

Quick update. I made the journey on Tuesday, and honestly it wasn't bad. I followed previous advice and just wore noise-cancelling headphones. They actually work real good for me. No other earplugs underneath, just a good pair of noise-cancelling headphones, a cheap pair for £40 off Amazon...

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...

Interesting! Thanks for posting. I've been debating with myself whether noise cancelling ear phones are enough protection. I've been taking earplugs but I also hate being stuck occluded with my tinnitus for long hauls.

Noise cancelling headphones give spikes to some people (this is likely very rare). I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose noise cancelling headphones, to protect my ears from the headphones. The headphones are great at reducing the noise of an airplane.

Hi Michael, Although your profile states that the cause of your tinnitus is unknown, there is often an underlying reason. From your post, I suspect your tinnitus may be noise-induced, which is one of the most common causes. Since you've asked for help, my advice is to lower the volume of your...

You do realize millions of people have tinnitus, use headphones, or noise-cancelling headphones, and they never get worse or have the need to venture to online forums. You are going to get extremely biased anecdotal reports here. Basic common sense dictates that all kinds of headphones...

That is my experience too. I am using noise cancelling headphones in a van. I then turn up the radio and the higher frequencies are getting through better than lower frequencies. The lower frequencies of road and engine noise are down to a luxurious level.

When you wear earplugs for flying don't you get problems with pressure between the eardrum and the earplug or is that not an issue?

Do you have an explanation on how people can have problems after using noise cancelling headphones? I fail to understand how it is possible.

Active noise cancelling isn't safe. If you search this forum, you will see many testimonials where people describe having problems after using noise cancelling headphones. I wear Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones when I fly. I wear earplugs under those headphones, to protect myself from the...

@dh42 For mowing the lawn, those are ear muffs, and just reduce noise. Noise cancelling headphones send an inverted sound wave to cancel out the sound...

Did you ever consider the 'noise cancelling headphones' contributed to your problem?

Normally people turn on the noise cancelling and don't play Any music. The damage is due to noise cancelling. (But it's good to wear noise cancelling headphones on a plane, just wear earplugs underneath.) Given the multiple reports about it, it certainly seems possible.

Sorry what I mean here is to put the sleep buds under the noise cancelling headphones.

Hey folks! I'm asking if AirPods Pro are safer to use for non-noise-induced tinnitus as they have noise-cancelling capabilities, and I also have the settings on my phone to not go any higher than 75 dB with headphones in. I'm new to tinnitus, it's been about 5 months. As far as I know, it's not...

I don't use noise cancelling or any other type of headphones. Afraid of occlusion effect, plus headphones or earplugs/earmuffs don't protect against bone conducting vibrations anyhow. If I put on earmuffs and I drive in a car for 1 minute, my tinnitus is 5x louder. There's the proof that it's...

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...

Does anyone use noise cancelling headphones like the Bose QC35?? https://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Wireless-Headphones-Black/dp/B01E3SNO1G/ Not being able to listen to music is killing me. Over speakers music just sounds like the speakers are broken :( With the Bose headphones I can...

...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...

@Bimmerboy, what model of noise-cancelling headphones do you use?
