I mean are there any sounds coming like voice prompts or various beeps when using noise cancellation feature. For example voice prompt saying battery is low etc.

Many things can cause tinnitus and your doctors could be correct in thinking peripheral neuropathy is the cause. The tinnitus might also be linked to the other medical conditions you mention such as diabetes. This really needs the expertise of your doctors to find out what is causing the...

I wouldn't recommend noise-cancelling headphones, because they may cause nausea for some people. I do have the new Bose in-ear noise cancelling headphones still. :) Just get quality headphones which you like. Try them before buying. If you want advice what to buy, you can ask me. I know quite a...

...after my tinnitus onset. At first I thought they were great, but it didn't take long to notice they tended to exacerbate my tinnitus. I've since read a testimonial by a man who didn't have tinnitus at all, got some noise cancelling headphones for work, and tinnitus started after about a week.

Just got back from a 7 1/2 hour flight and used Bose noise cancelling headphones. They work great.

It depends on your tinnitus. I used 33db earplugs and Bose Noise cancelling headphones. It keeps it simple and easy.

Do earplugs and/or noise cancelling headphones increase the bone conduction of the sound of the drill?

Perfect! Did you use noise-cancelling earbuds at the dentist? From what I've heard, earplugs are not an option because of the occlusion effect.

Thanks John. I was glued to my noise cancelling headphones from about 6 months before my T. I hope everything is well with your situation.

I am creeped out by noise cancelling headphones ,the phase inversion sound awful to me. I dont trust that stuff to be healthy for your ears.

Hi David, I was going to give this a go. I was wondering if I could use my Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Headphones? In the UK it's quite tricky getting the KOSS but I could try and source them if the Sony are no use. Thanks.

I'm bumping this thread up in case anyone is willing to share more opinions on noise cancelling headphones. I just saw a very knowledgeable tinnitus and hyperacusis doctor whose opinion is that noise cancelling headphones would calm the hyperacusis and most likely would not make the T worse...

I will ask.

I have an upcoming dental appointment and my dentist actually provides noise cancelling headphones. While I don't use headphones/earphones any longer, I suspect I will use them this week.

There Have Been horror stories on this forum where people say that they got T after wearing noise cancelling headphones. It is for this reason that I have been wearing earplugs underneath my noise cancelling headphones. The headphones protect me against the noise around me, and the earplugs are...

Were you listening to any content during the flight? (music, movies, etc)

How well does this work? Is it the same as normal muffs?

Oh, what the heck.... That's me on stage, more than a decade ago, sweaty, with tinnitus BUT with noise cancelling headset though (and fitter to be honest) :D Simply seeing all this copper hurt my ears now :eek:

Another fascinating thread on Tinnitus Talk. This forum is interesting to say the least... not sure what to think of this one. Who knew getting tinnitus would expose me to all of this :) What are the Sony noise-cancelling headphones that have worked with Tinnitus Mix, David? I have the MX3. I...

They don't offer nearly as much noise reduction inside of an airplane, as noise cancelling headphones over earplugs.

No form of headphones/earbuds are safe including noise cancelling ones, even if you use the best hearing protection in the world with them. You are taking a risk and if your tinnitus gets worse then you will learn, by that time it'll be too late. Be smart and forget headphones and listen through...

Ok the gym was great, but the music was loud I had my noise cancelling headphones on but still got a spike.

Yep, got my tinnitus from my Bose headphones.

...to my tinnitus. So noise-cancelling earphones or earmuffs would really help. But i don't want more problems. So what if i use noise cancelling/isolation earphones, but ALWAYS put on some music, or white noise, at low levels - say just below my tinnitus , or just a bit above it ...

I always carry Peltor X5A muffs and 3M 1100 earplugs with me wherever I go. When I travel, I also carry Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones.

So do I, and inside of airplanes and cars they seem to provide better noise reduction than "Peltor muffs + ear plugs."

Noise cancelling headphones over earplugs ought to bring the noise down so much that there is a good chance that you will be ok.

Okay so I'm freaking out. I'm a very healthy 37-year-old woman with no history of tinnitus except for one when I took Wellbutrin. It went away when I stopped taking it. I have been experiencing tinnitus now for about two weeks. I noticed its onset after a really weird migraine (I have history...

You should definitely stop using noise-canceling headphones. If you search this forum you’ll find they have aggravated tinnitus for quite a few people here...

...the Cochlear hair cells..and i hope with time i could be better..probably now my Cochlea is much more sensitive. I have active noise cancelling headphones (bose quietcomfort,the best). I'm not sure that noise cancelling headphones are worse than normal headphones..because with my Bose i can...

I also would like to know about the Bose noise cancelling headphones. I use mine as well. Do they aggravate T?

I might not be the vibrations be the noise. I was thinking the same thing Bill.

The reason I didn't want to use the noise cancelling ones before was that I didn't know (and I am still not very sure) if the sound they generate might affect my tinnitus and hyperacusis. Is there one sound cancelling another or do you end up hearing two sounds, the external one and the one...

In that case, you need to know that this is a problem for earmuffs (i.e., X5A, X4A, etc) too. Having said this, usually it is possible to avoid anything touching the earmuffs and plugs while one is wearing them. I think that you would be safer if you have ear protection than if you don't. If...

Sorry I am new to this app... what musician ear plugs do you recommend? Also, should I wear noise cancelling headphones over them?

How do those things work?

For the many cables issue I also bought a long USB hub, so I have three or so total cables connecting to my computer. I did not do this necessarily because of tinnitus, I just hate the fan noise in general, especially when it speeds up and down under load.

You can try noise-cancelling headphones: they'll let you listen to content at low volume.

I couldn't disagree with you more (though volume does matter). I tried noise-cancelling headphones once to see if it would help with my hyperacusis. Turns out it increased my tinnitus. It wasn't from "volume", as the noise entering my ears was less, or at least I perceived it as less. Yet...

I use the peltor x5a for flights.

@Laurac1960 I use noise cancelling headphones for my H which sounds a lot like yours. I can't have anything vibrating (Ac, fans, refrigerator, my husband's voice which is gravelly). It's seriously devastating! Does yours come and go? Mine does so when you do get a break, you live in constant...

I have been browsing Tinnitus Talk since the first ring 7 months ago, and figured it was about time I made an account and said hi! I'm 24, and the ringing started last August. It was pretty minor until December when I went to an NFL game and forgot my earplugs (yikes!). I then listened to...

I was wearing noise cancelling headphones plugged into my tv the morning my ear started to scream. I woke up, jumped up to the sound of a crowd laughter, and my screaming ear. Threw off the headphones in a panic. Went to Dr said I had middle ear fluid. Almost 3mos in I'm not sure which is the...

Thanks! 45dB reduction is impressive!

...getting permanently worse after flying. Temporary spikes are possible. No guarantees of course, tinnitus can be unpredictable. Noise cancelling headphones are great tho', and I think with them you don't have to worry about tinnitus getting worse at all. Which make and model do you have...

This... I’m lost. I don’t know what direction to take anymore. Before I can even come up with a plan, my tinnitus changes habits and behaviors and it’s getting to me. Sucks butt. Still I’ll “lol” lol.

...headphones in from the car, but as I suggested I think the seal would have been a bit too tight with my own ones, even though the noise cancelling may be a bit better. The thing was that my dentist was desperate to play music through them for me, even though that's something I avoid because...

So what’s the best protocol to follow when flying? Muffs or headphones (no music)?

When are you planning to take your shorter test flight? What month is your 10-hour flight in 2024? Looking forward to hearing about your experience. Also, where did you get your custom molded musician's earplugs from? Thanks.

I couldn't live without my noise-cancelling headphones. I highly highly recommend them. Bose makes the ANC earbuds so they are more discreet, don't block out as much noise as the headphones, but are still good. Just make sure you don't get ones with Bluetooth because you can't just shut off...

I used to use noise cancelling headphones which work great in reducing cabin sound.

...to be able to do normally), which makes me function better. I also told him (and a previous audiologist) about some over the ear noise cancelling headphones I had been given (Bose QuietComfort 2) and how I tried them with the noise cancelling feature on and had immediate benefit from them as...

You can be as technical as you want. Hearing aids and white noise generators are not the same as headphones, earbuds, AirPods, noise cancelling and bone conduction headphones. I have used white noise generators for over 20 years and continue to use them daily without any adverse effects...

making notch filter hearing aids would not be that complicated using phase reversal , same principle as noise cancelling hedphones. At least in theory.

I haven’t found any. I know that noise cancelling headphones and earbuds do the job and they make your voice not sound loud in your head but they have a slight’ pressure’ sensation.

What are they like? Are they ones that play sounds to mask tinnitus?

What if the MRI spikes you permanently? :(

Ok thanks, so probably i will get the 25:). I think i will use them mainly just for noise cancelling on flights so i don‘t want to spend a fortune. Altough maybe i will use just ear plugs, not too sure yet:)

Thanks for the reply Michael. I know you are right. Would 80 dB at 45 minutes on noise cancelling headphones be a risk? With protection such as Nicotinamide Riboside and/or NAC? I can see it’s a risk that most wouldn’t take on this forum.

Do you use them headphones just for the noise cancelling, or do you listen to music through them as well? Any spikes from listening to them?
