The function of the earplugs is to protect one from the noise cancelling headphones. Even the best earplugs's (3m's 1100 plugs) noise reduction can't be compared to that of Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones.

I hate to say it, but a number of people on this forum are convinced that noise cancelling headphones made their tinnitus worse. :( There is no actual hypothesis about the mechanism of how this might happen. Nevertheless, people's tinnitus gets worse right after they use noise cancelling...

...N/C headphones that offers reliable, simple but effective noise reduction only, without the high price tag? I do not want to use them for music, I only care about the noise cancelling part. Has anybody used the Cowin SE7 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, which are a best seller online? Thanks.

You may be thinking of "passive noise cancelling" (which is basically good old dampening). The "active noise cancelling" headphones (like the ones discussed in this thread) do actually cancel the sound wave through destructive interference.

I have read that noise cancelling headphones do not provide any noise protection.

Hey there, I saw your post about noise cancelling headphones in this thread: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/can-noise-cancelling-headphones-make-tinnitus-worse.1986/page-2 I was curious if you still feel that these have a negative impact on your tinnitus.

I don't own any noise cancelling headphones, but I have a ton of plugs though!

You can try to use Bose 25 noise-cancelling headphones + plugs. Noise-cancelling headphones have been implicated in people's tinnitus getting louder, so the plugs are there to protect you from NC headphones. You should be able to listen to the radio, as NC headphones ought to cut the low...

I would bring that, in case the noise cancelling headphones stop working. It would not be easy (although not impossible) to wear Peltor muffs for 15 hours straight. They are not nearly as comfortable as the noise cancelling headphones.

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

I would probably opt for earmuffs instead of noise cancelling headphones if additional protection was required. I don't know much about T + flying, though, since it's a situation I haven't had to deal with yet.

I highly recommend the Bose noise cancelling headphones for flying. They'll cut out the engine/drone noise while letting you listen to music or watch shows at low volume, if you chose to play content.

Talk to the dentist first. Make sure they are happy for the appointment to be a bit longer to allow for the rule: 5 seconds drilling 10 seconds off If they can use laser drills rather than conventional drills, so much the better. I use their noise-cancelling headphones rather than my own...

One further experiment I just did after posting that above: Bose Noise cancelling headphones in ears, noise cancelling ON. Not connected to any source, just headphones plus noise cancelling. JBL ANR E-series on ear headphones ON TOP OF the Bose. Switched OFF so no ANR in the JBLs, but...

A better solution would be to buy open-back headphones for reading. Why do you want noise-cancelling?

This is completely wrong. Noice cancelling cancels out soundwaves from the jet engine to a great extent, and I experienced a huge difference when I flied here using noice cancelling and when I turned off noice cancelling. I sat on the plane and turned it on and off frequently as I am also...

I think they're quite comfy.

...will be surprised how quiet it is. Even if it is a Boeing plane, you ought to be ok, as long as you have earplugs underneath your noise cancelling headphones (as some people get T after wearing noise cancelling headphones (with no earplugs underneath) for a long time). Don't forget to have...

Just curious: Doesn't using ear plugs and headphones make your tinnitus that much more noticeable?

My dentist provides noise cancelling headphones and I provide the music.

...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.

Yes noise reducing ones :)

...https://www.accidentlinedirect.co.uk/news/Tinnitus-from-bose-headphones-drove-young-man-to-suicide You can protect your ears using custom molded earplugs. I have also known a person who got tinnitus from using Bose noise cancelling headphones for 10 minutes at lower volume.

Where did you read that? Amazon shows a very solid rating, with a pretty solid distribution. I have the previous generation and am very happy about it.

Noise cancelling headphones do not offer actual protection as ear plugs and muffs do.

True! But I meant as noise protection. They protect a little against high frequency noise, because they’re plastic clamped to the ear.

Why?

I tried briefly the AKG N60Nc headphones and they were ok. I don't own a pair, but tried my friend's headphones... they sit on top of the ears, these headphones do not fully cover the ears as an earmuff would do. For me foar earplugs provide the best attenuation. It is normal that you sometimes...

I don't understand noise cancelling headphones. Isn't it just using one noise to drown out another noise? So twice the noise?

Imagine taking your date to a room similar to the one from " Fifty Shades of Gray " that's full of earplugs, earmuffs and noise cancelling devices instead of cuffs, ropes and eye masks :)

What about earplugs and headphones that are off?

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.

Can I ask which headphones you use? Do you wear the headphones on top of the musician's earplugs? Thank you~

...to be effective because of the shorter wavelength. I have been thinking about buying some NC headphones for flying and wearing earplugs underneath, but I'm unsure. I don't see why manufacturers can't make noise cancelling and noise isolating earmuffs, but I can't find any that really do both.

...Some say they are the devil's work. I would like to find any scientific factual conclusions that either prove or disprove that Noise Cancelling Headphones aggravate tinnitus. Now, given that there seems little 'scientific conclusions' on tinnitus anyway, my hope to find one on...

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...

So why should having less noise worsen your tinnitus except you can hear your own Tinnitus ring more and that drives you crazy. Noise cancelling is just cutting of tones from the outside nothing else.

I haven't used the earmuffs yet to be honest, I bought it after my last trip when the noise cancelling headphones was not working (and I realized that I needed something that would work without relying on technology, like they have to be charged and whatnot). Noise cancelling are really nice...

...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...

Will noise cancelling headphones help with reactive tinnitus?? I listen to regular headphones and they don't affect my tinnitus.

I love going on road trips. I recommend that you wear noise cancelling headphones (over earplugs to protect against the headphones - as some people get tinnitus as a result of noise cancelling headphones). They are comfortable, go a long way towards eliminating the road noise, and prevent...

I wear Peltor muffs. When I drive on the highway, I wear Bose noise cancelling headphones. I doubt those things will offer much protection against an airbag. In fact, noise cancelling headphones might actually make things worse.

I believe my tinnitus was actually caused by cheap headsets. Without noise-cancelling capability, I normally max out the volume to hear the music playing especially when I'm outside. With noise-cancelling you don't have to do this. I was also into white noise when it started by over time, I...

...for work also. I just put in foam earplugs and put noise isolating headphones over the plugs for flights. I've tried (borrowed) noise cancelling headphones for flights and they are comparable to my big X5A earmuffs. I'm thinking about getting a pair for myself. As far as noise...

I'm happy with my Bose noise cancelling headphones. They cancel out outside noise so I can keep the volume low and still hear my content.

Good luck Goofy. Do noise cancelling headphones actually protect your ears from noise?

Anyone tried these? http://www.amazon.co.uk/7dayshop-Active-Cancelling-Headphones-Aeroplane/dp/B00AXVURFY/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1437566344&sr=1-6&keywords=noise+cancelling I cant really afford a bose :)

I have had the opposite experience. I tried both, and the noise cancelling headphones seemed to definitely provide more protection than my X5A muffs. I guess it depends on a plane.

I thank you both for the warning. I'm trying my best to be active and not put my ears at risk. I vacuum, use power tools with noise cancelling headphones and when I go to the movie, I wear custom musician earplugs. Even at the gym when some dumb kids drop plates I put earplugs in, you don't want...

Noise cancelling headphones worked for me. I had huge old amalgam filling replaced. No problems with NC headphones. Much quieter.

I agree with that. Had I used the Sony NC headphones + foam earplugs already last year probably my ears would be in a better state now.

I used earmuffs.

No.

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...

Maybe give noise cancelling headphones a try?

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...
