@JohnFox @Deb2019 I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones. The function of the earplugs is to protect one from the noise cancelling headphones. In theory, NC headphones reduce the intensity of the sound waves reaching one's ear. However, a number of people on...

Did it happen right after using the headphones or was it a delayed spike? I didn't have this problem. As I said, I felt very comfortable using them. Bought them only for the car but realised that I felt better with them than with my Peltors especially in high traffic areas.

...severe category. The gym I used to frequent would always have fairly loud music playing through their speakers. I used crappy non-noise cancelling earbuds (iPhone) at maximum volume levels in an attempt to block out their music so that I could listen to my very own music... so imagine that...

With mine switched off, everything just sounds boomier than not wearing them at all. (Also Sony.)

First of all, I was going to use EarPlanes earplugs under Bose noise-cancelling headphones, not just regular earplugs. Sorry about the confusion. It is also not very clear to me how Bose headphones could be bad for the ears. Search for "cancelling headphones" (with quotation marks) and you...

Does the above include noise cancelling headphones like the ones sold by Bose?

Thank you for your answers. My question might sound stupid but are there headphones that protect from noise while not being actively "noise cancelling"?

Are you still able to listen to music or movies? Does music spike your tinnitus? I can't listen to any music or it will worsen my tinnitus. There are two planes I can choose from. A Boeing 737-800 or Airbus A320-100/200. Would you have readings on those planes? Is it better to sit near the...

@billie48 thanks for your reply, will any noise cancelling headphones do?

These muffs are similar to the ones that those guys outside of the plane have: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Peltor-Over-Earmuffs-X5A/dp/B00CPCHBCQ I will be receiving my pair later this week. I am worried that they may not be as comfortable as the expensive Bose noise cancelling headphones.

Glad those work for you. I will tell you there is a pretty significant difference in noise cancelling quality of the higher-end Bose and Sony which are probably the two highest rated, and the lower end. It basically comes down to much better cancelling, ANC circuitry quality and customization...

...out, some waves might not get cancelled out - but might instead get amplified. This could happen at frequencies that one can't hear. Search this forum for "noise cancelling headphones" and you will find multiple people reporting getting permanent problems following the use of those headphones.

I don't play any music on them. Just cancelling noise, used them for 3 hours.

It's the other way around. NC headphones are very good at cancelling out low frequency noise, but not so good for the high frequencies.

Hi does noise cancelling headphones able to equalize pressure during take ascending and descending?

That looks like @Damocles behind that machine. According to how @aura has described him, I'd say yes that's him. No ear protection though, must like noise.

You did not experience this worsening so no one will ? That's not how it is, unfortunately. Many people report a worsening of their T after the use of noise-cancelling headphones (with no music).

I can relieve some of the pressure but it doesn't completely go away. Maybe I will try the Afrin, thank you.

Do you have ear fullness? The spike can still happen for some days after the noise exposure. Those noise cancelling headphones are inadequate protection for most MRI scanners, and most will benefit from both plugs and muffs.

They also have a low noise cancelling setting, which doesn’t cause that sense of pressure full nc can.

There seems to be a big divide between people who think headphones are okay at low volumes and those who think you should stay as far away from them as possible. For those of you who do use headphones, have you found there to be any difference when using closed back noise-cancelling vs open...

...like to know how you perceive sound in these situations: 1 - Wearing on-ear headphones (these do not totally cover the ear or have noise cancelling, just sit on top of the ears), if you play music low and someone talks to you. Do you understand them better or worse than without the...

I have bose noise cancelling headphones . I fly often.. my T usually is the same.

I use the Bose headset. I love them! Is anyone still listening to music with hearing protection under thier noise cancelling headphones?

...the higher frequency are harder to counter because of the shorter wave length? If yes, let me tell you that it is the reason why noise cancelling headphones don't actively cancel higher frequencies, they cancel (lower) these frequencies with normal passive noise reduction. This have been of...

Do you by any chance have a link to those Bose noise cancelling head phones you are talking about?

I thank you for your suggestions, but hypercausis is now at a level, where noise-cancelling headphones are not a good option anymore. I tried several earplugs, both hollow in the stem, foam etc. but my ears always hurt from them, and my pain is elevated.

Noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs could do the trick.

Hoping custom made earplugs and some noise cancelling muffs will keep my hearing and Tinnitus from getting worse.

No. There is a little light on the side of the headphones, which comes on when you turn noise cancelling on. It starts blinking when the battery is low, and it turns off when the battery is dead. These headphones will help you with the noise of the AC, but they won't work if, say, there is...

Good day. I was just wondering if you went through with the laser when you did your dental work. If so, how was it? I need to fill in some cavities as well. What about noise-cancelling headphones, or would that be the same thing? How did your appointment go? I hope everything went well.

John, you should have read my comment fully :D Yes, if there was a lag on a high frequency, it could potentially double the volume. BUT noise-cancelling headphones don't treat high frequencies for this exact reason. They only treat lower frequencies, that they are sure to cancel, because they...

Any type of headphone including noise cancelling, can make tinnitus worse for some people. I agree not everyone will be adversely affected. However, in my opinion anyone with noise induced tinnitus is taking a risk and playing with fire by using these dangerous devices. Michael

...the use of headphones. Earbuds are even more dangerous than over-ear headphones. It is also the case that some people got T (or got a T spike) after using noise cancelling headphones. I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones. This setup works very well when...

...- for instance on a plane - to insert the custom made earplugs and place headphones over it to listen to some nature noise? Or use noise cancelling headphones on a plane to play some very soft nature noise over it? Especially Micheal Leigh's opinion would be interesting, including any...

Did you have tinnitus before using the headphones??

Could it be the noise cancelling headphones are more quiet than ordinary ones, and that some people notice a T that was there previously but was masked by background noise?

I was concerned about flying when I got tinnitus, don't worry about it mate. I do wear noise cancelling headphones though. Enjoy Vegas.

...can't remember what caused your tinnitus. If it was caused by "loud noise" I strongly advise you not to listen to any type of audio through headphones and this includes noise cancelling. I still advise caution to people using headphones whose tinnitus wasn't noise induced. All the best Michael

Does your musical modulation mask your tinnitus? With noise cancelling headphones. I can still notice mine.

Are noise cancelling headphones where you can listen to music? I have just basic ear protection headphones such as when mowing the lawn.

hello Zug, I may try that noise cancelling headphones soon as long as my t will not get louder.

I have the Bose QuietComfort 35. The noise cancelling is excellent and help me with my T/H.

Hello, how loud is the atmosphere? 70 dB? 80 dB? What kind of work is it? If I may ask. Yes, noise cancelling headphones emit waves that cancel the noise of the external noise. Bose Quietcomfort is an example of NC headphones.

I have a pair of Sennheiser overear noise cancelling headphones that might be the next best thing. Tinnitus spikes aren't really my problem, rather I seem to get ear fullness and soreness after noise exposure. I've ordered a set of musician's earplugs because those rolly foamy ones are starting...

Just got the LiveMus!c HearSafe https://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Noise-Cancelling/dp/B00H2F87I8/ - 2 pairs, one with 29dB NRR and one with 23dB When I put them in it feels like they dont do anything... I've used 28db foam plugs and although i know that foam offer a better...

I’m taking a flight Boeing A380... 8 hours. Should I wear hearing protection such as noise cancelling headphones? It’s supposed to be relatively quiet. What do frequent flyers do?

@Gosia Did the spike go away? Were you wearing noise cancelling headphones or plugs? Thanks.

I am sure the noise cancelling headphones started my ringing. Spent many hours flying with them. Now they ring.

Use the bose noise cancelling headphones. The cancel the most of airplane noise and let your ears do the pressure compensation. Put some low volume music and relax.

...sound from the MRI machine didn't cause your tinnitus, but if you regularly listened to audio through headphones, earbuds, headsets, noise cancelling or bone conduction headphones, it's possible your tinnitus was already present but operating at a low level, where your brain was able to...

I was wondering the same thing. So what you get from noise cancelling headphones is actual silence?

I use headphones - though rarely - as well, and recently bought noise cancelling ones just to be able to listen to music or whatever without having to play it loud.

It's been a long time since I wrote on Tinnitus Talk. I've had tinnitus now for three years. The level of my tinnitus has gradually increased. It ranges from mild to moderate. I have been working for about five months in a secondary school as a cleaner. I have to wash the dishes, the machine...

Just an add that noise cancelling headphones are a good bet also. But not during ascent or descent.

I can't quit my job. What about buying active noise cancelling headphones/ear muffs/whatever for when I'm at home?

In the ear that has the worse bass hum, i get sensitive to low or loud sounds. If I make music louder for a while (above 70 dB) or use headphones for music, it can come on as a delayed pain which aches. Which is different to my other ear, which is sudden and fades quick more like regular...

So with the noise cancelling mode on you only hear a very soft hiss and this only in a quiet room. Is this what you were hearing? My headphones also have a "masking" feature, a weird white/pink/rainbow noise :) that I've never used because I found it to be very annoying.

Are you sure the app is reliable? I brought an actual dB meter on a few legs cross country this spring, and I was getting 84-89 dB range, enough that I feel okay about slapping bunny ears on.

Flights went well, whole trip (both work and vacation part) went well. I highly recommend noise-cancelling headphones over earmuffs. They're more effective and comfortable.
