i'm just being goofy but it'd be nice if this noise cancelling circuit cancelled my fuggin tinnitus.

So, you don't think or don't experience that using headphones worsen your tinnitus? Yours is not noise induced, is it? So if it's probably noise induced, headphones are a no-go?

A drummer? Gonna have to pick your brain sometime! :troll::troll:

I am sorry you are going through this. If you have noise cancelling headphones take them with you. If they say they have them still take your own. Both enclosed and open MRI’s are extremely loud.

@Thongjy, yes of course you can. Just don't increase the volume too loud. @SoulStation, noise cancelling headphones are NOT a good idea, because they actually increase the amount of sound to the ear by cancelling out sound. They can also disturb the inner ear and make some people feel nausea -...

This combo of foam earplugs + noise-cancelling headphones works great for me when driving. For flying I am a bit sceptical on use of foam earplugs. But I will not fly anyhow until my hyperacusis has improved to a point where I feel confident in doing so.

They are headphones https://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Wireless-Headphones-Cancelling/dp/B0756CYWWD

I'm about to fly around the planet twice, so you don't think foam plugs are enough?

...a pair of Bose QC 20 earplugs. They have noise-cancelling that very effectively lowers continuous low-frequency sound. They are expensive, though. Most noise cancelling headphones are ineffective. Bose seems to have mastered the tech. But for most noise situations, earplugs/earmuffs are best.

Interesting - I may try that, though I am very wary given Michael's advice above.

Have you tried wearing earplugs and noise cancelling headphones? Bose 25 headphones can really make a difference, as far as car noise is concerned.

Sounds familiar, my room has a huge selection of foam earplugs, some ear defenders and filter earplugs :D

Muffs don’t offer much in terms of comfort as they still let the annoying low drone of the aircraft through. One thing with noise cancelling headphones, they’re good for constant background sound but wouldn’t want to be around sudden loud impulse sounds. For example, closing a car door with...

For dentistry? No. Noise canceling headphones offer no more protection against bone conduction of noise than do earplugs. Stephen Nagler

Or noise cancelling headphones, as mentioned a few messages ago.

Well I just bought Bose's new Quiet Comfort 20 in-ear noise cancelling headphones. They are quit amazing. Read a review here: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/travelers-sanctuary-bose-quiet-comfort-20-noise-canceling-earphone

You can try noise cancelling headphones: the ANC will allow you to keep the volume low on your end, and your peers won't get any echo. If you're not in a noisy environment, you can try regular headphones, as long as you keep the volume down. Talk to a few doctors if you have doubts about using...

...those as well. Remember the adage though, correlation does not equal causation. EDIT: I just read your original post that you use noise cancelling headphones as hearing protection. Consumer-based noise cancelling headphones do not provide any hearing protection other than the physical...

My Bose noise cancelling earphones gave me tinnitus.. .I think there must be something that they emit that is detrimental to hearing... Never had tinnitus before, only ever used them to watch sbs movies at low volumes

I wear my noise cancelling headphones on the plane all the time (and for the duration of the flight generally). It's great to cut down on engine noise.

Do you notice any change in your tinnitus after cycling? Does it change at all? Also, did you try cycling hearing music? Using noise cancelling headphones? I am thinking the noise cancelling headphones probably will not solve the problem of wind if they are over the ear headphones, but there...

That’s it. Doesn’t matter the type of car (electric or conventional), my tinnitus always reacts with a high pitched noise or sometimes some strange beeps. It also happens when I take a shower or hear white noise. My baseline is now back to what it was before the incident (which is a 5-6 out of...

@Steve @TuneOut Do noise cancelling headphones like the bose qc35 actually give you protection like earmuffs and plugs? or do they just cancel out the noise without actually giving you any db protection?

...of noise exposure so Tinnitus as a result of noise exposure seems more likely for me. It did not immediately follow a loud noise, but seems to be from an accumulation of noise damage. Is it possible to heal? Can overuse of noise cancelling headphones at a moderate volume lead to Hyperacusis?

Thanks, that's expensive, but I'm sure they are nice. Are there any that act as earmuffs (canceling outside sound that way) and just have headphones inside? Is it safe to use them moderately noisy environments?

Have you tried driving while wearing earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones (e.g., Bose 25)?

I am generally weary of noise cancelling devices because the way they work is to play sounds that are inverted waveforms of the external sounds.. if the cancelling isn't perfect it seems like it could still be blasting sound right in your ear

...Headphones and Tinnitus : https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tinnitus-a-personal-view.18668/ I strongly advise you not to use noise cancelling headphones or any other type especially if your tinnitus was caused by exposure to loud noise. Even if it wasn't I still advise caution using any...

I have been trying to protect my ears as much as possible, but it's simply IMPOSSIBLE to protect them from every loud sound. F.E. if you're walking and a guy jumps on his motorcycle and makes a shitload of noise, you first hear it and THEN take countermeasures if necessary. Sometimes the loud...

4 weeks ago I had a 11.5 hour flight. Didnt used earplugs but did used noise cancelling headphone to cancel somewhat noise. Guess what, no spike at all:). Flying is perfectly safe with Tinnitus if you would ask me.

Sure thing, Bill. Keep in mind that the noise-cancelling works best for continuous lower-frequency sounds. And it won't offer protection from impulse sounds. This is because the mic has to record the sound then the processor has to generate an anti-sound and this takes time.

Earmuffs or noise cancelling headphones? Which gives you better protection.

You will be just fine, try not to worry and relax....

Did wear noise cancelling headphones. Just as Mick said noise is internal from bone conduction. I would have lived with the removable partial if I would have known was so loud. Marcini I do wonder about the stress part.

You have had tinnitus for quite a while @autobot. Even though it reads on your profile cause of tinnitus unknown, I will assume you have noise induced tinnitus since this is the most common. If you use hearing protection whilst at work, this may not aggravate your tinnitus but only you will know...

Same here. I would always work/sleep with silence (I'd wear noise cancelling headphones at work for example) as sound would distract me and prevent me from focusing.

Hi, EarPlanes plus earmuffs for takeoff and landing. You can use noise cancelling headphones during the flight if you need them. I wouldn't use foam earplugs that completely block the ears during takeoff and landing as you may cause problems with release of pressure whilst ascending and...

I love my old Bose headset and cannot find a new headset! I don't want all the extras. Just the plain old noise cancelling set. Unlike popular opinions which can be justified, I have to use them to listen to specific music selections with a certain sound that soothes my tinnitus. Also against...

The QC 25s are on sale right now (corded version of the QC 35's). $115 is a pretty good deal. Apple devices: https://slickdeals.net/f/12309235-bose-qc-25-noise-cancelling-headphones-for-apple-devices-115-qc25?src=frontpage and for android devices...

How many hours?

Would you say they are better (as far as flying is concerned) than Bose noise cancelling headphones?

As stated above, noise-canceling headphones really help with the low frequencies. Earplugs not so much. When it comes to measuring dB in trucks and planes, the sound is mostly in the low frequencies. dBA rating isn't good because it cuts everything off below 500 Hz when measuring. If you use a...

...test and have slight hearing loss in my right ear, so my doctor diagnosed me with Meniere's disease. I was recently recommended noise cancelling headphones and borrowed a pair from my brother. They worked amazing and I got relief from the tinnitus for the first time in months! Unfortunately...

Spike might be from physical activity, not noise. Such spikes are always temporary.

I use Bose ANC headphones (Quiet Comfort) regularly and haven't noticed any change in my T. When I don't play anything in them and just use the noise cancelling feature, T seems louder, which I attribute to the lack of other sounds drowning it (it's the same as when I plug my ear).

If the airplane is worse than Airbus A380 then yes, upgrade your seat. Get basic 3M 1100 earplugs and optionally earmuffs on top of them. Noise cancelling headphones are good too (on top of earplugs).

They are full over the ear headphones and is suppose reduce up to 18 decibels of active noise reduction. I will also have earplugs with me.

My Bose wireless noise cancelling headphones definately caused my tinnitus. I'd love to know if any other brand is involved... I've never had tinnitus before except after 1 concert 40 years ago. Now it's 24/7 constantly squeeling. Not happy...

...kind of foam and a bit of plastic to hold it together. Foam blocks out some of the noise, in the same way as earplugs do. Active noise cancelling headphones are very sophisticated and (usually) expensive. Microphones 'listen' for outside noise and then your headphones play a sound that...

Hi @ElliottC. I am sorry to hear that you are going through such a difficult time with tinnitus at the moment. Listening to audio at too high a volume without realizing it through headphones, headsets, earbuds, AirPods, noise-cancelling and bone conduction headphones, is often responsible for...

Noise cancelling headphones will not make tinnitus worse unless ofcourse you pump some music through them. I've been using them for about two years with no change in tinnitus, I only use them without music to block out noise in airplanes and other noise places and they work great.

...worse. It is further exposure to loud noise or listening to audio even at low volume through any type of headphones including noise cancelling, earbuds and headsets. I have always said that my advice is for guidance and is not absolute. Please type headphones in the search box at the top of...

According to him, would it be ok to wear earplugs under noise-cancelling headphones?

Did you not say your tinnitus had gone away?

...at work? My initial tinnitus was set off by noise exposure at work. :( I don't know if you've looked into it already, but noise cancelling headphones (like the bose quietcomfort) are very good at canceling out low frequency noises. They aren't as good at canceling high frequency sounds...

Have you considered Noise Cancelling Headphones?

...hearing be damaged? I notice that when I play even with earplugs my tinnitus is very strong afterwards. Is this just normal, should I worry about it? How do these drummers do it for 20 years in a rock band? Metallica, Foo Fighters and so on? Are the in ear monitors even more noise...

@xyz Earplugs, earmuffs and noise cancelling headphones may offer some relief from your over sensitivity to sound or hyperacusis. However, this is not a long term solution and you could make your symptoms worse by overuse of these products. If you're not careful other conditions can develop...

Hey man, just seen this thread, probably way too old by now but you should be okay if you wear a good pair of noise cancelling headsets I think :)
