    Onset of Tinnitus After Using Noise Cancelling Headphones

    I can't use noise cancelling headphones at all, they make me feel ill and unbalanced. Agree with one of the posters above that the lawn mower could be a culprit. You should use industrial ear muffs for ear protection and not noise cancelling headphones. Give your ears a rest and hopefully...

    I'm thinking that maybe because of the noise-cancelling headphones. Even though the spike began before using them. I used them for 2 or 3 days and I felt very good... I don't know what to believe anymore.

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

    Noise cancelling headphones seem to provide a little more noise reduction. They are also more comfortable - after wearing them for many hours, you won't feel like your head is in a vice (something even the best muffs will likely do after a couple of hours). Of course I understand where you are...

    Nice headphones @aura :) Good article too: “Passive noise cancellation can lessen mid to high-frequency noises by about 15dB to 30dB.” So contrary to many people’s beliefs they do an okay job on middle frequency and a decent job on the highest! Depending on whether they sit sealed around your...

    I Invented a Sound That Knocked Out My Tinnitus

    There are only a few headphones that will reproduce the 2.8 MHz harmonic. The best is the Koss KTX-PRO1 and they are dirt cheap at $19. Another one is the earbuds by 1MORE brand called Triple Drivers. And then there is the Bose noise-cancelling headphones at $350.

    Hi guys, I bought the x5a peltors and the noise cancelling is great but they are too tight? I thought I bought the wrong size but apparently that's the standard. They really hurt and I'm desperate to take them off, is that normal?

    Since We're Supposed to Stop Using Headphones, Can You Play Music and Podcasts Through Hearing Aids?

    Aviation Headset Provides Temporary Relief

    Acoustic Trauma (Loud Concert) Caused My Tinnitus (Finally Decided to Introduce Myself)

    How to Protect Against the Dentist's Drill? Can't Use Earplugs, So What Then?

    Noise-Canceling Headphones Making Tinnitus Worse/Flare It Up?

    Noise cancelling headphones have a software lag that can cause the inverted waveform to not match up perfectly with higher frequency sounds that can actually add them instead of cancelling them out. In this animation the two top waves amplitudes sum up and the bottom one is the result...

    Hi Bill, Thank you for your response. Is it still bad if you use the noise cancelling headphones with them turned off? In other words, I put them on but do not turn them on. Just use them to dampen the annoying sound. If this still presents a problem for tinnitus I will discontinue and...

    Hyperacusis — No Tinnitus — at Age 16 from Listening to Loud Music Through Earphones?

    Going on an Airplane?!

    Bose noise cancelling headphones eliminate low-frequencies similar to the hum you hear inside of an airplane cabin. This allows you to play your music at a lower volume. You can also use them to reduce the noise, and not to listen to music. === Thank you for the information, LadyDi!

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

    I used EarPlane plugs for 3 flights in one day and there was absolutely no problem. Honestly, with noise cancelling headphones I don't think the levels in the cabin are an issue. It's the take off and landing where you need your EarPlane plugs with earmuffs over the top.

    Noise Cancelling Headphones Giving Me Some Relief

    @JohnFox @Deb2019 I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones. The function of the earplugs is to protect one from the noise cancelling headphones. In theory, NC headphones reduce the intensity of the sound waves reaching one's ear. However, a number of people on...

    How Can You Habituate to HIGH FREQUENCY Tinnitus?
