    Hi guys, I bought the x5a peltors and the noise cancelling is great but they are too tight? I thought I bought the wrong size but apparently that's the standard. They really hurt and I'm desperate to take them off, is that normal?

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    There are only a few headphones that will reproduce the 2.8 MHz harmonic. The best is the Koss KTX-PRO1 and they are dirt cheap at $19. Another one is the earbuds by 1MORE brand called Triple Drivers. And then there is the Bose noise-cancelling headphones at $350.

    Reactive Tinnitus and Flying on an Airplane

    I have the same dilemma with reactive tinnitus but am planning to take a flight in the next few months, which will be around 10 hours. The flight is now booked. At this moment I am planning to wear custom molded earplugs along with noise-cancelling headphones over the top - the seat will be in...

    Earplugs Are Insanely Painful to Put In/Take Out

    ...plugs? i never tried molded ones, but i heard that they're not as irritating as foam ear plugs. maybe try silicone ear plugs + some noise cancelling headphones, without even turning the noise cancelling option on, or something like that. i wish you good luck and i wish myself good luck with...

    Hyperacusis — No Tinnitus — at Age 16 from Listening to Loud Music Through Earphones?

    I bought the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones this week and the noise cancelling is amazing, plus they are super comfortable. Sony have brought out a new version which are better again albeit more expensive. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-WH-1000XM4-Cancelling-Wireless-Headphones-Black/dp/B08C7KG5LP

    Acute Tinnitus Onset from Loud Music / Movies — Confused What to Do Next

    ...noise-cancelling headphones. It isn't clear why this might be happening, but data (even biased data?) trumps theory. I own Bose noise cancelling headphones. I wear them in airplanes and on a highway in a car. I make sure to wear foam earplugs underneath, and thus far I haven't had any...

    Earplugs Are Insanely Painful to Put In/Take Out

    I had molded earplugs, and they never bothered me. It's just something I experience with the foam ones. I've been wearing noise cancelling headphones to get some protection when I walk on noisy streets, and I've only been wearing foam plugs when I absolutely have to--basically when I'm taking...

    Acquired Tinnitus After a Tetanus Shot

    Some medications, including flu vaccines and tetanus shots, have been known to cause the onset of tinnitus. If this has happened in your case, then hopefully it will be temporary. However, I think you should try and rule out one of the most common causes of tinnitus which is exposure to loud...

    Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Constant Industrial Noise?

    Well, you know, there's a reason they are called "noise cancelling" ;) They allow you to listen at low volume since they cancel the external sounds, so you don't have to crank up the volume to drown them.

    Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones — Are They Used to Block Noise or to Listen to Music?

    Noise cancelling headphones seem to provide a little more noise reduction. They are also more comfortable - after wearing them for many hours, you won't feel like your head is in a vice (something even the best muffs will likely do after a couple of hours). Of course I understand where you are...

    In-Cabin Noise Level of Wide-Body Aircraft — Airbus A380 the Quietest

    I used EarPlane plugs for 3 flights in one day and there was absolutely no problem. Honestly, with noise cancelling headphones I don't think the levels in the cabin are an issue. It's the take off and landing where you need your EarPlane plugs with earmuffs over the top.

    Onset of Tinnitus After Using Noise Cancelling Headphones

    I can't use noise cancelling headphones at all, they make me feel ill and unbalanced. Agree with one of the posters above that the lawn mower could be a culprit. You should use industrial ear muffs for ear protection and not noise cancelling headphones. Give your ears a rest and hopefully...

    How Can You Habituate to HIGH FREQUENCY Tinnitus?

    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.

    What Noise-Cancelling Headphones / Earbuds Don't Have Insanely Loud Low Battery Warning?

    For me the XM4 Sony headphones I'd say was the main cause of my tinnitus because of a malfunction in the noise cancelling, and then they gave a loud feedback, like a really LOUD beep noise and my hearing was completely messed up after that. But I'd still say it was partially my fault since I had...

    Acoustic Trauma (Loud Concert) Caused My Tinnitus (Finally Decided to Introduce Myself)

    Many people develop tinnitus after wearing noise cancelling headphones. I wear earplugs underneath my noise cancelling headphones (that I wear whenever I fly), those earplugs protect me from the headphones. I think your ears got hurt by the headphones and not as a result of you not taking the...

    Flying & Tinnitus

    Hi Candy, I took a few flights since tinnitus onset and always had in foam earplugs and noise cancelling headphones. On my Airbus flight that was complete overkill, I agree with @Bill Bauer there. Maybe bring both and see how you feel.

    My Tinnitus Spiked After a 2-Hour Road Trip in an Electric Car

    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...

    How to Protect Against the Dentist's Drill? Can't Use Earplugs, So What Then?

    Suicidal

    Hi Bill, Thank you for your response. Is it still bad if you use the noise cancelling headphones with them turned off? In other words, I put them on but do not turn them on. Just use them to dampen the annoying sound. If this still presents a problem for tinnitus I will discontinue and...

    Aviation Headset Provides Temporary Relief

    Noise-Canceling Headphones Making Tinnitus Worse/Flare It Up?

    Does MRI Create or Exacerbate Tinnitus Due to Nerve Resonance?

    I have an MRI next Thursday and was planning on bringing foam earplugs and earmuffs. The earmuffs I have are noise-cancelling 23 dB. Should that suffice? My tinnitus is already screaming so don't want to make it worse and have some hyperacusis I believe too. So a bit nervous about it but...

    Headphones Trigger My Tinnitus — Any Way I Can Continue Using Them?

    Going on an Airplane?!

    Bose noise cancelling headphones eliminate low-frequencies similar to the hum you hear inside of an airplane cabin. This allows you to play your music at a lower volume. You can also use them to reduce the noise, and not to listen to music. === Thank you for the information, LadyDi!
