You did not experience this worsening so no one will ? That's not how it is, unfortunately. Many people report a worsening of their T after the use of noise-cancelling headphones (with no music).

...sleep. I read it was ototoxic so I stopped, I was also given Wellbutrin which I read the same so never took. I had used my Bose noise cancelling earbuds at work as the ambient noise can be 70 dB. I stopped that after seeing lots of people claiming it did more harm than good, and that...

...it 'feeling' too loud. When you are in a coffee shop, you also need to drown out all the ambient noise and you are tempted to increase the volume further. Try noise cancelling headphones at a very low volume. If those give you trouble, it's best to avoid headphones or any loud sound exposure.

Glad those work for you. I will tell you there is a pretty significant difference in noise cancelling quality of the higher-end Bose and Sony which are probably the two highest rated, and the lower end. It basically comes down to much better cancelling, ANC circuitry quality and customization...

I don't think it's the sound of the electric car or it being electric will help as the road noise would be more than an engine in a regular one. I bought a Lexus and it is 50 dB driving under 40 mph. You might be like me and reactive to the vibration from the tires on the road. So the fact that...

...out, some waves might not get cancelled out - but might instead get amplified. This could happen at frequencies that one can't hear. Search this forum for "noise cancelling headphones" and you will find multiple people reporting getting permanent problems following the use of those headphones.

I get a spike just from watching this.

I have an MRI next Thursday and was planning on bringing foam earplugs and earmuffs. The earmuffs I have are noise-cancelling 23 dB. Should that suffice? My tinnitus is already screaming so don't want to make it worse and have some hyperacusis I believe too. So a bit nervous about it but...

Is this the first time you experience a spike after using the noise-cancelling headphones? I'm asking because something similar happened to me but I'm not sure if the headphones caused it.

A few thoughts from someone with long-standing tinnitus who's been on well over a hundred flights around the world with tinnitus: (1) Does my tinnitus get worse after a flight? Not noticeably, maybe for a little while because all loud noise, including plane noise, spikes my tinnitus for at...

I have bose noise cancelling headphones . I fly often.. my T usually is the same.

They also have a low noise cancelling setting, which doesn’t cause that sense of pressure full nc can.

I have the same dilemma with reactive tinnitus but am planning to take a flight in the next few months, which will be around 10 hours. The flight is now booked. At this moment I am planning to wear custom molded earplugs along with noise-cancelling headphones over the top - the seat will be in...

Noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs could do the trick.

Any type of headphone including noise cancelling, can make tinnitus worse for some people. I agree not everyone will be adversely affected. However, in my opinion anyone with noise induced tinnitus is taking a risk and playing with fire by using these dangerous devices. Michael

Do you by any chance have a link to those Bose noise cancelling head phones you are talking about?

Hoping custom made earplugs and some noise cancelling muffs will keep my hearing and Tinnitus from getting worse.

For me the XM4 Sony headphones I'd say was the main cause of my tinnitus because of a malfunction in the noise cancelling, and then they gave a loud feedback, like a really LOUD beep noise and my hearing was completely messed up after that. But I'd still say it was partially my fault since I had...

With mine switched off, everything just sounds boomier than not wearing them at all. (Also Sony.)

Do you have ear fullness? The spike can still happen for some days after the noise exposure. Those noise cancelling headphones are inadequate protection for most MRI scanners, and most will benefit from both plugs and muffs.

I use the Bose headset. I love them! Is anyone still listening to music with hearing protection under thier noise cancelling headphones?

...the use of headphones. Earbuds are even more dangerous than over-ear headphones. It is also the case that some people got T (or got a T spike) after using noise cancelling headphones. I always wear earplugs underneath my Bose 25 noise cancelling headphones. This setup works very well when...

Did you have tinnitus before using the headphones??

...the higher frequency are harder to counter because of the shorter wave length? If yes, let me tell you that it is the reason why noise cancelling headphones don't actively cancel higher frequencies, they cancel (lower) these frequencies with normal passive noise reduction. This have been of...

Does your musical modulation mask your tinnitus? With noise cancelling headphones. I can still notice mine.

John, you should have read my comment fully :D Yes, if there was a lag on a high frequency, it could potentially double the volume. BUT noise-cancelling headphones don't treat high frequencies for this exact reason. They only treat lower frequencies, that they are sure to cancel, because they...

Some medications, including flu vaccines and tetanus shots, have been known to cause the onset of tinnitus. If this has happened in your case, then hopefully it will be temporary. However, I think you should try and rule out one of the most common causes of tinnitus which is exposure to loud...

...like to know how you perceive sound in these situations: 1 - Wearing on-ear headphones (these do not totally cover the ear or have noise cancelling, just sit on top of the ears), if you play music low and someone talks to you. Do you understand them better or worse than without the...

...can't remember what caused your tinnitus. If it was caused by "loud noise" I strongly advise you not to listen to any type of audio through headphones and this includes noise cancelling. I still advise caution to people using headphones whose tinnitus wasn't noise induced. All the best Michael

Could it be the noise cancelling headphones are more quiet than ordinary ones, and that some people notice a T that was there previously but was masked by background noise?

It's the other way around. NC headphones are very good at cancelling out low frequency noise, but not so good for the high frequencies.

I have the Bose QuietComfort 35. The noise cancelling is excellent and help me with my T/H.

hello Zug, I may try that noise cancelling headphones soon as long as my t will not get louder.

No. There is a little light on the side of the headphones, which comes on when you turn noise cancelling on. It starts blinking when the battery is low, and it turns off when the battery is dead. These headphones will help you with the noise of the AC, but they won't work if, say, there is...

I was concerned about flying when I got tinnitus, don't worry about it mate. I do wear noise cancelling headphones though. Enjoy Vegas.

Are noise cancelling headphones where you can listen to music? I have just basic ear protection headphones such as when mowing the lawn.

...severe category. The gym I used to frequent would always have fairly loud music playing through their speakers. I used crappy non-noise cancelling earbuds (iPhone) at maximum volume levels in an attempt to block out their music so that I could listen to my very own music... so imagine that...

Just got the LiveMus!c HearSafe https://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Noise-Cancelling/dp/B00H2F87I8/ - 2 pairs, one with 29dB NRR and one with 23dB When I put them in it feels like they dont do anything... I've used 28db foam plugs and although i know that foam offer a better...

Did it happen right after using the headphones or was it a delayed spike? I didn't have this problem. As I said, I felt very comfortable using them. Bought them only for the car but realised that I felt better with them than with my Peltors especially in high traffic areas.

There seems to be a big divide between people who think headphones are okay at low volumes and those who think you should stay as far away from them as possible. For those of you who do use headphones, have you found there to be any difference when using closed back noise-cancelling vs open...

@Gosia Did the spike go away? Were you wearing noise cancelling headphones or plugs? Thanks.

Hello, how loud is the atmosphere? 70 dB? 80 dB? What kind of work is it? If I may ask. Yes, noise cancelling headphones emit waves that cancel the noise of the external noise. Bose Quietcomfort is an example of NC headphones.

I have a pair of Sennheiser overear noise cancelling headphones that might be the next best thing. Tinnitus spikes aren't really my problem, rather I seem to get ear fullness and soreness after noise exposure. I've ordered a set of musician's earplugs because those rolly foamy ones are starting...

I have heard of others doing this too. Might have to take that approach. I have so many cables coming out of my PC, not sure how it will work when I want to use it for VR too... I might be ok with just wearing noise-cancelling headphones indefinitely. Maybe I risk becoming too sensitive to...

I am sure the noise cancelling headphones started my ringing. Spent many hours flying with them. Now they ring.

Use the bose noise cancelling headphones. The cancel the most of airplane noise and let your ears do the pressure compensation. Put some low volume music and relax.

I was wondering the same thing. So what you get from noise cancelling headphones is actual silence?

I thank you for your suggestions, but hypercausis is now at a level, where noise-cancelling headphones are not a good option anymore. I tried several earplugs, both hollow in the stem, foam etc. but my ears always hurt from them, and my pain is elevated.

That looks like @Damocles behind that machine. According to how @aura has described him, I'd say yes that's him. No ear protection though, must like noise.

Just an add that noise cancelling headphones are a good bet also. But not during ascent or descent.

I’m taking a flight Boeing A380... 8 hours. Should I wear hearing protection such as noise cancelling headphones? It’s supposed to be relatively quiet. What do frequent flyers do?

Are you sure the app is reliable? I brought an actual dB meter on a few legs cross country this spring, and I was getting 84-89 dB range, enough that I feel okay about slapping bunny ears on.

I can't quit my job. What about buying active noise cancelling headphones/ear muffs/whatever for when I'm at home?

I wouldn't recommend noise-cancelling headphones, because they may cause nausea for some people. I do have the new Bose in-ear noise cancelling headphones still. :) Just get quality headphones which you like. Try them before buying. If you want advice what to buy, you can ask me. I know quite a...

Just got back from a 7 1/2 hour flight and used Bose noise cancelling headphones. They work great.

Flights went well, whole trip (both work and vacation part) went well. I highly recommend noise-cancelling headphones over earmuffs. They're more effective and comfortable.

Do earplugs and/or noise cancelling headphones increase the bone conduction of the sound of the drill?

I use headphones - though rarely - as well, and recently bought noise cancelling ones just to be able to listen to music or whatever without having to play it loud.

It depends on your tinnitus. I used 33db earplugs and Bose Noise cancelling headphones. It keeps it simple and easy.

...after my tinnitus onset. At first I thought they were great, but it didn't take long to notice they tended to exacerbate my tinnitus. I've since read a testimonial by a man who didn't have tinnitus at all, got some noise cancelling headphones for work, and tinnitus started after about a week.
