...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...

They are good quality noise cancelling headphones, and quality costs money. I tried other noise cancelling headphones but the Bose ones are by far superior.

Hi everyone, Has anyone tried noise-cancelling earbuds (Apple or Samsung) while driving? I can get by without earplugs for short drives up to about 1 hour, but I find on longer drives, or multiple drives per day, that the road and engine noise make my tinnitus worse (I have reactive tinnitus)...

Tinnitus After Using Noise-Cancelling Headphones? Hi! I recently purchased some noise-cancelling headphones and although I love them, I think they may have given me tinnitus. :( It became... Thread by: subsonik, May 2, 2018, 49 replies, in forum: Support

Hello! Today I put on special noise-cancelling headphones when the neighbors made repairs, but then, when my phone rang, I somehow very quickly took them off, although I usually take them off carefully, so I felt the pressure drop on my eardrums. Could this really hurt my ears? How do you...

Congratulations! Ford made a noise cancelling doghouse. Ford's noise-cancelling dog house can keep your pup calm during fireworks and thunderstorms. Daily Mail Online

I just tried my electric toothbrush in my mouth with and without my noise-cancelling headphones on and it does appear to sound a lot louder in my head with the noise-cancelling headphones... might just be my model of headphones but it does seem to be some kind of occlusion effect happening, so...

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...

I remember when my tinnitus first became bad (which was a cakewalk compared to what I have going on now), I tried using my Bose noise-cancelling headphones for meetings and it just made my tinnitus feel so terrible every time. Noise-cancelling definitely messes with your brain. Many people...

I remember hearing my heartbeat loudly with my >30db noise-cancelling headphones. Now I barely hear it below the cacophony.

I've recently read about a potential danger for tinnitus sufferers concerning these types of headphones. I only used them on flights, and also had a small spike afterwards, not sure if it's related though.. That's why I am making a poll to see if this is a real danger.

Yeah, I thought about wearing earplugs under the headphones. It would be much safer. The problem is that I no longer feel comfortable when I'm using earplugs. I have ear pain and my tinnitus gets worse.

Yeah, the noise cancelling feature reduces the engine sound A LOT. The headphones only don't block the sound like Peltor earmuffs.

There would be no danger of them harming you, but they wouldn't be very effective. There are two types of noise cancelling - active and passive. NC headphones provide only active noise cancelling. 3M's Peltor X5A muffs (that I recommend that you get) provide passive noise cancelling. If you...

...before then, but I'm sure most people don't, which is why they end up here, unfortunately. I should mention I don't actually use the noise cancelling function becuase the padding of the headphones is pretty thick and it muffles outside noise pretty well, even without active noise cancelling...

I have the Sony WH1000XM2 noise-cancelling headphones and they are comfortable to my ears.

Hi all, I am thinking of purchasing noise cancelling headphones. Which is the best model? I would love to hear experiences with noise cancelling headphones. Are they better than earmuffs for flying? Thanks!

I have both the latest Bose and Sony ANC headphones. The Sony's are a bit better for use in a car because they are a bit better at cancelling low and mid-range sounds. But the Bose is very close.

Hi @Stoic turmoil, I am sorry to hear of the difficulties that you are going through with tinnitus. Noise-induced tinnitus usually gets better with time, so try to keep strong. I advise you to try and stop listening to audio through your headband as this could make your tinnitus worse and cause...

...sounds but will aggravate low pitched sounds that are transferred by bone conduction (so it makes low pitched sounds louder). I use noise cancelling headphones, they're far, far better with low pitched sounds and still very good for high pitched sounds. I also use small earplugs behind the...

...and feedback is at high frequency- the exact situations where these noise canceling headphones are at their weakest. "Even the best noise cancelling headphones can’t work magic. Low frequency noise, like the airplane example above, are where noise cancelling headphones shine. Low, steady...

Thanks. So do you listen to music with these as they do the canceling? Totally unfamiliar with them.

If you will be flying, make sure you wear ear plugs.. or buy bose noise cancelling headphones or even other brand noise cancelling headphones.

Aren’t noise canceling headphones harmful to ears?

My question is about "noise cancelling" ear muffs. I'm looking to invest in a pair of good quality ear muffs, now that I've learned they are better than noise cancelling headphones. I've noticed some of them are described as noise cancelling ear muffs. Does that mean they have similar...

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...

Here's one article about nausea and noise cancelling headphones http://www.techradar.com/news/audio/portable-audio/do-noise-cancelling-headphones-make-you-sick-230872

I use a combination of earplugs, active noise cancelling headphones like Bose QC-15, and standard earplug headphones. You won't get good sound quality with this combination but it's good enough for movies and podcasts on an air flight. I first insert foam earplugs, then cover my ears with the...

Okay but the point still remains. Something is better than nothing and if it allows me to listen at lower volumes that has to be a good thing. Most importantly, does it harm your ears? It does not appear to be the case but I'm a little confused about that.

...and they cover your whole ear well so there’s no gap behind your ear.., unless you got really big ears :D I wouldn’t use the noise cancelling function though.., and your not getting any protection from that. I’ve seen tests of cheap over the ear headphones and they take a big chunk of high...

Noise-cancelling headphones don't always work well in response to sudden mechanical noises or piercing train whistles. They are better with constant predictable noise that's not too high pitched. You may be better packing a pair of folding earmuffs in your bag for the commute if earplugs aren't...

Same here. However, I just talked to a very intelligent and understanding ENT and he said noise cancelling is good for low frequencies that arent changing like road noise or like in an airplane but he explained it to me, and he very well may be right, now that I think about it, that noise...

Yea that article states that noise cancellation protects your hearing by allowing you to listen to headphones at a lower volume, but nothing about protection from outside volume levels. Noise cancellation may reduce some low frequency sounds but that's about it: Noise Canceling Hearing...

...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.

...being in a car, but for now there is no reason to force yourself to do it. Having said all of the above, some people swear that noise cancelling headphones had caused their tinnitus. This is why I always wear earplugs underneath my headphones. The idea is to protect myself from the...

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...

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...

Both. If you don't play anything in them, they're just noise cancellers. If you decide to play something in them, then you won't have to crank up the volume to compete with external sound, since the noise-cancelling-circuit "removes" that external sound for you, so it's also better for your ears...

The tones are designed to cancel out the incoming sounds. As a result, the user doesn't hear any tones. Bose noise cancelling headphones (and probably most other active noise cancelling headphones) are tailor-made to cancel out the hum of the airplane (and a car on a highway). I recommend...

...using any headphones ever again, even at low volume. I also saw a number of threads where people state that it seems to them that noise cancelling headphones had worsened their T. Check out the original post as well as all of the replies on...

It is still pretty loud when you wear earplugs alone. Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones over earplugs ought to work well. You don't want to wear active noise cancelling headphones/buds, as some people had reported getting tinnitus after doing so. Bose 25 work great at cancelling noise of a...

Which ones? The QC 35? I have those already.

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 noise-canceling headphones work better than 3M PELTOR X5A? I thought noise-canceling headphones emit sounds, which are used to cancel external sounds, but still emit sounds. Wouldn't that spike your tinnitus? Can someone explain how they work without spiking tinnitus?

Have read through the posts and wearing earplugs seems not to be wise but noise cancelling headphones maybe of benefit. Would like to hear from those who have tried noise cancelling headphones for drill work. I may try it out using electronic toothbrush.

You must do what you feel is best Optic Axis. Take care and I wish well, Michael

@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...

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...

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.

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

Hi @Tara Lyons, just to be sure, you ordered noise reducing earplugs not noise cancelling headphones right?

...on a mobile phone but I find that 50db+ aggregates my tinnitus and so I need to suppress the sound levels. I have investigated noise cancelling headphones and in general they do reduce the sound significantly. The ones I have are Samsung LEVEL ANC. I reckon they give me about 30db reduction...

I fly a lot.. I have bose noise cancelling headphones. Make sure you have ear plugs and or muffs or any noise cancelling headphones and you should be ok. I have used noise meter app on many flights and they all show 75 db.

Please click on the link below that gives information on how passive and active noise cancelling headphones work. Since you have "noise induced" tinnitus, I strongly advise you not to use NC headphones to listen to audio or any other type of headphone even at low volume, as there is a risk of...

I've never had a problem. I wear noise cancelling headphones for comfort, and listen to some nice distracting noises from my sleep pillow smartphone app to mask my T, which is more noticeable due to the noise cancelling headphones. Basically substituting one noise for another lol.
