    So they block the car only with the noise cancellation on? I had some cheap ones before my ear trouble and they made a very hear able white noise to camouflage the surroundings :D White noise therapy?? :)

    I wear Bose noise cancelling headphones over earplugs. Noise cancelling headphones work...

    I wear Bose noise cancelling headphones over earplugs. Noise cancelling headphones work amazingly well in airplanes, but they can cause T, so the earplugs are protecting me from the headphones. I also carry my Peltor X5A muffs with me. Some people are worried about wearing earplugs during...

    Earplugs with Minimal Occlusion Effect?

    I definitely think we can figure out a solution here. I’m in the same boat which is why I prefer noise-cancelling headphones over earplugs for gatherings and restaurants. But it is obviously kinda ridiculous unless desperate. I have custom moulded in-ear monitors for music and when held in...

    About 30 Hours of Flying Coming Up — What Precautions Should I Take with Tinnitus & Hyperacusis?

    I would bring that, in case the noise cancelling headphones stop working. It would not be easy (although not impossible) to wear Peltor muffs for 15 hours straight. They are not nearly as comfortable as the noise cancelling headphones.

    Best Ear Protection for Flights — What About Noise Cancelling Headphones?

    I highly recommend the Bose noise cancelling headphones for flying. They'll cut out the engine/drone noise while letting you listen to music or watch shows at low volume, if you chose to play content.

    Driving a Loud Car (Mustang) and the Possibility of It Making Tinnitus Worse?

    You can try to use Bose 25 noise-cancelling headphones + plugs. Noise-cancelling headphones have been implicated in people's tinnitus getting louder, so the plugs are there to protect you from NC headphones. You should be able to listen to the radio, as NC headphones ought to cut the low...

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

    I would probably opt for earmuffs instead of noise cancelling headphones if additional protection was required. I don't know much about T + flying, though, since it's a situation I haven't had to deal with yet.

    Getting a Dental Crown with Severe Tinnitus and Hyperacusis

    Talk to the dentist first. Make sure they are happy for the appointment to be a bit longer to allow for the rule: 5 seconds drilling 10 seconds off If they can use laser drills rather than conventional drills, so much the better. I use their noise-cancelling headphones rather than my own...

    Bose QC35 II Requires to Download an App — Concerns Over Inadvertent Sudden Loud Signals

    This is completely wrong. Noice cancelling cancels out soundwaves from the jet engine to a great extent, and I experienced a huge difference when I flied here using noice cancelling and when I turned off noice cancelling. I sat on the plane and turned it on and off frequently as I am also...

    Airline Pilot — Tinnitus from ANR/ANC (Noise-Cancelling) Headphones?

    Did u use ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones? Currently I went to the store kinda later in the day and it's bad again I tried to slip out the plugs all the way inside a store and I felt horrible. It's like as the ringing gets louder my ears get more sensitive. My voice rattles them rn. Sigh

    Good Quality, Slick Safety Earmuffs

    ...to be effective because of the shorter wavelength. I have been thinking about buying some NC headphones for flying and wearing earplugs underneath, but I'm unsure. I don't see why manufacturers can't make noise cancelling and noise isolating earmuffs, but I can't find any that really do both.

    Onset of Tinnitus After Using Noise Cancelling Headphones

    So why should having less noise worsen your tinnitus except you can hear your own Tinnitus ring more and that drives you crazy. Noise cancelling is just cutting of tones from the outside nothing else.

    Reactive Tinnitus and Flying on an Airplane

    So noise-canceling headphones work better than 3M PELTOR X5A? I thought noise-canceling headphones emit sounds, which are used to cancel external sounds, but still emit sounds. Wouldn't that spike your tinnitus? Can someone explain how they work without spiking tinnitus?

    Afraid of Getting Into an Accident

    I wear Peltor muffs. When I drive on the highway, I wear Bose noise cancelling headphones. I doubt those things will offer much protection against an airbag. In fact, noise cancelling headphones might actually make things worse.

    Driving Is My Best Coping Ability

    Very Recent Onset of Tinnitus

    I believe my tinnitus was actually caused by cheap headsets. Without noise-cancelling capability, I normally max out the volume to hear the music playing especially when I'm outside. With noise-cancelling you don't have to do this. I was also into white noise when it started by over time, I...

    Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Socialising — Dangerous for Hyperacusis?

    Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Socialising — Dangerous for Hyperacusis?

    I tried briefly the AKG N60Nc headphones and they were ok. I don't own a pair, but tried my friend's headphones... they sit on top of the ears, these headphones do not fully cover the ears as an earmuff would do. For me foar earplugs provide the best attenuation. It is normal that you sometimes...

    About 30 Hours of Flying Coming Up — What Precautions Should I Take with Tinnitus & Hyperacusis?

    Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Constant Industrial Noise?
