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

    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.

    Need Advice on Noise-Cancelling Bose Headphones

    i need the BOSE noise cancelling technology to protect my ears on the street, not for the music. I never play music in my ears. You think it is better not to? It's an expensive way to block out noise! Or do you play talk audio?

    Why Does Treadmill Make It Worse :(

    Noise Cancelling Headphones for Car / Bus Engine 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...

    Are Earmuffs Really Needed? (Traveling / Flight)

    Earplugs absorb sound waves and stop some sound from getting in your ears, Noise cancelling technology creates an opposite of the sound waves so that they are cancelled out and prevented from getting in your ears. Both offer a dB reduction. Same sort of thing but achieved differently. I'm...

    Bose Noise Cancelling

    I'm certainly of the belief that people with hyperacusis should not wear noise cancelling headphones for long periods. Wearing them to reduce environmental noise is all very well (and can lull the user into a false sense of security) but once the headphones are taken off, environmental noise...

    Need Advice on Noise-Cancelling Bose Headphones

    ...You can wear ear plugs underneath Bose headphones, if you are worried about it. Note that these headphones allow you to turn on noise cancelling even when they are not connected to anything. So you don't have to be listening to music in order for Bose headphones to reduce the noise around you.

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

    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.

    Hiking and Camping in High Winds — Do I Need Hearing Protection?

    I agree. Ear plugs are supposed to help but the worse the tinnitus is, the worse it for wearing plugs because the tinnitus is isolated or not masked at all as outside noise is blocked off. I don't know if this is a good idea but noise cancelling headphones might muffle the wind enough? I dunno.

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

    ...headphones. The earplugs are there to protect me from the headphones. Of course it isn't a good idea to be actually Using (i.e., play music) headphones. With Bose noise cancelling headphones you can turn on the noise cancelling and not turn on the music, which is what I recommend that you do.

    My Mild Tinnitus Has Got Worse After Trying Noise Cancelling Headphones without Playing Music

    While some folks like their noise cancelling headphones, others have had issues. The simple answer is for you to return them and stay away from them. A pair of passive ear muffs can get the same thing done for less for you.

    Do Noise-Cancelling Headphones Help?

    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.

    Bose NC Headphones Versus Generics (Cowin) for Hyperacusis Relief

    If you need to block out noise, it is better you use earmuffs and / or foam earplugs. You do not need to shell out 300 bucks for noise cancelling headphones.

    Ear Plugs and Concerts

    It sounds like these were noise-isolating or noise-cancelling earbuds from Bose. Given that earplugs reduce the noise by at most 30 dB, I doubt the noise reduction of his earbuds was considerably lower than that of earplugs.

    Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Tinnitus Sufferers?

    I don't know what reactive tinnitus is, some claim it exists, others say that it's another word for hyperacusis. I don't think that N/C headphones will help with that. The only reason I use them is to cancel out low frequency sounds from machines such as blenders and vacuum cleaners, etc. and...

    Tinnitus + Vibration from Your Hotel Room Neighbors' AC = A Bad Combination

    The pitch keeps getting higher and louder :(

    I don't have noise cancelling headphones but I've been listening to audiobooks on my iPod for six months. I keep the volume limit locked at about 50%. It actually helps quiet my T a bit. I don't have noise induced T --so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me.

    Traveling by Train — Should I?

    No. When you invert the wave of incoming sound and play it at the same time the two sounds cancel each other out. Musicians have been doing this in studios for decades to varying degrees of phase.

    Do Noise-Cancelling Headphones Protect from Loud Noise Exposure?

    Yes, but they have their limits. They can't cancel out everything. They'll do a pretty good job at cancelling out most "normal sound" but don't expect them to be perfect in handling acoustic trauma bursts (like a gunshot): they are not designed to protect you against that.
