what's the brand of your headphones?

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.

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?

Noise cancelling headphones can give you nausea for some people. I am one of those. I had to sell my new Boses after only a few weeks of use. http://gizmodo.com/355678/noise-canceling-headphones-might-make-you-motion-sick

How can noise cancelling headphones cause tinnitus? this sounds weird? and yes I did a search...didn't find much - hate those regular earplugs, they hurt my ears... I thought the change of airpressure with take off/landing could possible make my tinnitus worse - up in the air the noise and...

@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...

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...

My vacuum makes high pitch noises that Bose 35 doesn't seem to filter well...

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...

Ear muffs cut all noise, noise cancelling headphones only the constant noise.

I wear noise cancelling headphones. Not because I think the plane will cause me any harm, but it makes me more comfortable. Much better to do stuff like reading or watching a movie.

...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.

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...

A stack of plates fell down by themselves right next to me.

Now I had time to do some research. These are expensive, but seems to be what I might be looking for: Sony WH-1000XM3

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.

...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.

You are right. Anyone that has noise induced tinnitus and uses headphones, even at low volume is playing with fire.

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.

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...

...the Bose QC (Quiet Comfort) 20, which are earphones with top-rated cancelling, you can wear the peltor muffs over them. Stay away from the wireless Quite *Control* 30 as the noise cancelling sucks...

^ yes I agree, noise cancelling headphones do not block noise at all in the same way as ear protectors do. I had to stop using my Bose NCs because of nausea. It seems I am not the only one... http://gizmodo.com/355678/noise-canceling-headphones-might-make-you-motion-sick

I have same issues..sucks. I heard Bose noise cancelling headphones work well..though good luck not getting caught wearing them while driving lol.. of course there are the newer ear buds :)

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.

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.

I'm trying to replicate my finding, but I must have been looking at a different product. Pretty pricey though.

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...

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.

...reduce the background hum inside of an airplane, allowing you to play your music at lower volume. These headphones have an on/off noise cancelling button. You can just turn them on, and not play any music, while being protected. They headphones are said to create a wave that cancels the...

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...

Oh, now I understand. You use more comfortable muffs that provide the same NRR when combined with earplugs. Are you against Bose noise cancelling headphones because you are worried that they might make your T worse?

I've heard of "musician's ear plugs." Is that what you have? Also, I use noise cancelling headphones and it helps with the H in loud situations. Not a musician though but love music!

My tinnitus always ramps up when I’m driving. I don’t want to wear noise cancelling headphones mostly because that would be dangerous plus it’s illegal in my state. Any suggestions on how to keep tinnitus from spiking while driving?

...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...

O' I use them a lot. The Bose quiet comfort headphones are great. Normally I use them in loud environments with earplugs underneath them.

Isn’t the counter sound outside the hearing range? I use mine all the time and haven’t noticed an increase in my T or any adverse effect. I keep my volume low though because of the cancellation effect.

wear the head set, but also use a hearing protector under it, if possible. or see if there is an alternative headset with adjustable volume control and with built in noise cancelling features.

I had flown for over 24 hours several times (while wearing earplugs and noise cancelling headphones or muffs), and ended up being fine...

I cannot tolerate noise cancelling in any form , very sensitive to phase , makes me dissy and nauseous. Besides its very unnatural , and me personally will try to protect my ears from unnatural stuff.

...help with your tinnitus, but I discovered that watching TV is much more tolerable for me if I utilize wearing a set of high end noise cancelling (Bluetooth) headsets. There are a few name brand good headsets like this out there. I chose the Sony model. Not cheap, about $350, but was very much...

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.

Thank you, I'll take a look at noise cancelling headphones. I'd never thought about any of this stuff til now, I've never abused my ears, I don't listen to loud music, haven't been to a club in years, and now suddenly my ears are all I can think about. Constantly:(. I realise now I never should...

Yes I only use my phone speaker with a noise cancellation app, the white noise. I only put it in low volume near my pillow it cancels the sound and puts me to sleep like a baby, and after that the app shuts itself down after like 15 to 20 minutes.

Hey guys, I'm experiencing the same thing ever since a couple weeks ago after a hard workout and using my noise cancelling headphones which I also learned are not a good idea. The tone that goes over top of most noises is very unsettling. Anyone made any progress? It's been about 6 weeks...

I wear noise cancelling earphones to protect me from the car, I wear earplugs to protect me from the earphones, I wear a helmet to protect me from the earplugs, I wear a soundproof box to protect me from the helmet, I wear a blanket to protect me from the soundproof box. FML.

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.

My best friend had very mild T for 10 years, after 6 months of light use of noise cancelling headphones he has moderate T... Not sure that's the cause because he's on heavy meds and other things, but I don't think it's a coincidence

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.

When I plug my ears, my footsteps make loud thumping noise which is very loud to me. I think if you walk on heel shoes, you get much less thumping noise...but I am a man. I`m thinking of getting Bose noise cancelling earphones and just wearing them all the time, like Object16 does.

...my tinnitus but I want to take uber good care of my ears especially in this early stage... Would it make sense to wear over ear noise cancelling headphones when out and about even if I am not playing music into them? ie taking bus to work, at gym, ect. I know I've read earbuds are not good...
