I am sorry you are going through this. If you have noise cancelling headphones take them with you. If they say they have them still take your own. Both enclosed and open MRI’s are extremely loud.

Thanks for the reply Michael. I know you are right. Would 80 dB at 45 minutes on noise cancelling headphones be a risk? With protection such as Nicotinamide Riboside and/or NAC? I can see it’s a risk that most wouldn’t take on this forum.

Muffs don’t offer much in terms of comfort as they still let the annoying low drone of the aircraft through. One thing with noise cancelling headphones, they’re good for constant background sound but wouldn’t want to be around sudden loud impulse sounds. For example, closing a car door with...

@Steve @TuneOut Do noise cancelling headphones like the bose qc35 actually give you protection like earmuffs and plugs? or do they just cancel out the noise without actually giving you any db protection?

I couldn't live without my noise-cancelling headphones. I highly highly recommend them. Bose makes the ANC earbuds so they are more discreet, don't block out as much noise as the headphones, but are still good. Just make sure you don't get ones with Bluetooth because you can't just shut off...

Thanks, that's expensive, but I'm sure they are nice. Are there any that act as earmuffs (canceling outside sound that way) and just have headphones inside? Is it safe to use them moderately noisy environments?

The reason I didn't want to use the noise cancelling ones before was that I didn't know (and I am still not very sure) if the sound they generate might affect my tinnitus and hyperacusis. Is there one sound cancelling another or do you end up hearing two sounds, the external one and the one...

I wear my noise cancelling headphones on the plane all the time (and for the duration of the flight generally). It's great to cut down on engine noise.

My Bose noise cancelling earphones gave me tinnitus.. .I think there must be something that they emit that is detrimental to hearing... Never had tinnitus before, only ever used them to watch sbs movies at low volumes

Many things can cause tinnitus and your doctors could be correct in thinking peripheral neuropathy is the cause. The tinnitus might also be linked to the other medical conditions you mention such as diabetes. This really needs the expertise of your doctors to find out what is causing the...

I am generally weary of noise cancelling devices because the way they work is to play sounds that are inverted waveforms of the external sounds.. if the cancelling isn't perfect it seems like it could still be blasting sound right in your ear

Have you tried driving while wearing earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones (e.g., Bose 25)?

I have been browsing Tinnitus Talk since the first ring 7 months ago, and figured it was about time I made an account and said hi! I'm 24, and the ringing started last August. It was pretty minor until December when I went to an NFL game and forgot my earplugs (yikes!). I then listened to...

...Headphones and Tinnitus : https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/tinnitus-a-personal-view.18668/ I strongly advise you not to use noise cancelling headphones or any other type especially if your tinnitus was caused by exposure to loud noise. Even if it wasn't I still advise caution using any...

...to be able to do normally), which makes me function better. I also told him (and a previous audiologist) about some over the ear noise cancelling headphones I had been given (Bose QuietComfort 2) and how I tried them with the noise cancelling feature on and had immediate benefit from them as...

...of noise exposure so Tinnitus as a result of noise exposure seems more likely for me. It did not immediately follow a loud noise, but seems to be from an accumulation of noise damage. Is it possible to heal? Can overuse of noise cancelling headphones at a moderate volume lead to Hyperacusis?

4 weeks ago I had a 11.5 hour flight. Didnt used earplugs but did used noise cancelling headphone to cancel somewhat noise. Guess what, no spike at all:). Flying is perfectly safe with Tinnitus if you would ask me.

I have been trying to protect my ears as much as possible, but it's simply IMPOSSIBLE to protect them from every loud sound. F.E. if you're walking and a guy jumps on his motorcycle and makes a shitload of noise, you first hear it and THEN take countermeasures if necessary. Sometimes the loud...

You should definitely stop using noise-canceling headphones. If you search this forum you’ll find they have aggravated tinnitus for quite a few people here...

Do you notice any change in your tinnitus after cycling? Does it change at all? Also, did you try cycling hearing music? Using noise cancelling headphones? I am thinking the noise cancelling headphones probably will not solve the problem of wind if they are over the ear headphones, but there...

Did wear noise cancelling headphones. Just as Mick said noise is internal from bone conduction. I would have lived with the removable partial if I would have known was so loud. Marcini I do wonder about the stress part.

Good day. I was just wondering if you went through with the laser when you did your dental work. If so, how was it? I need to fill in some cavities as well. What about noise-cancelling headphones, or would that be the same thing? How did your appointment go? I hope everything went well.

Sure thing, Bill. Keep in mind that the noise-cancelling works best for continuous lower-frequency sounds. And it won't offer protection from impulse sounds. This is because the mic has to record the sound then the processor has to generate an anti-sound and this takes time.

Sounds familiar, my room has a huge selection of foam earplugs, some ear defenders and filter earplugs :D

This... I’m lost. I don’t know what direction to take anymore. Before I can even come up with a plan, my tinnitus changes habits and behaviors and it’s getting to me. Sucks butt. Still I’ll “lol” lol.

Earmuffs or noise cancelling headphones? Which gives you better protection.

You will be just fine, try not to worry and relax....

For the many cables issue I also bought a long USB hub, so I have three or so total cables connecting to my computer. I did not do this necessarily because of tinnitus, I just hate the fan noise in general, especially when it speeds up and down under load.

Same here. I would always work/sleep with silence (I'd wear noise cancelling headphones at work for example) as sound would distract me and prevent me from focusing.

How many hours?

Would you say they are better (as far as flying is concerned) than Bose noise cancelling headphones?

They are full over the ear headphones and is suppose reduce up to 18 decibels of active noise reduction. I will also have earplugs with me.

I use Bose ANC headphones (Quiet Comfort) regularly and haven't noticed any change in my T. When I don't play anything in them and just use the noise cancelling feature, T seems louder, which I attribute to the lack of other sounds drowning it (it's the same as when I plug my ear).

Spike might be from physical activity, not noise. Such spikes are always temporary.

Interesting - I may try that, though I am very wary given Michael's advice above.

I couldn't disagree with you more (though volume does matter). I tried noise-cancelling headphones once to see if it would help with my hyperacusis. Turns out it increased my tinnitus. It wasn't from "volume", as the noise entering my ears was less, or at least I perceived it as less. Yet...

The QC 25s are on sale right now (corded version of the QC 35's). $115 is a pretty good deal. Apple devices: https://slickdeals.net/f/12309235-bose-qc-25-noise-cancelling-headphones-for-apple-devices-115-qc25?src=frontpage and for android devices...

...kind of foam and a bit of plastic to hold it together. Foam blocks out some of the noise, in the same way as earplugs do. Active noise cancelling headphones are very sophisticated and (usually) expensive. Microphones 'listen' for outside noise and then your headphones play a sound that...

Noise cancelling headphones will not make tinnitus worse unless ofcourse you pump some music through them. I've been using them for about two years with no change in tinnitus, I only use them without music to block out noise in airplanes and other noise places and they work great.

...those as well. Remember the adage though, correlation does not equal causation. EDIT: I just read your original post that you use noise cancelling headphones as hearing protection. Consumer-based noise cancelling headphones do not provide any hearing protection other than the physical...

It's been a long time since I wrote on Tinnitus Talk. I've had tinnitus now for three years. The level of my tinnitus has gradually increased. It ranges from mild to moderate. I have been working for about five months in a secondary school as a cleaner. I have to wash the dishes, the machine...

You can be as technical as you want. Hearing aids and white noise generators are not the same as headphones, earbuds, AirPods, noise cancelling and bone conduction headphones. I have used white noise generators for over 20 years and continue to use them daily without any adverse effects...

You can try noise cancelling headphones: the ANC will allow you to keep the volume low on your end, and your peers won't get any echo. If you're not in a noisy environment, you can try regular headphones, as long as you keep the volume down. Talk to a few doctors if you have doubts about using...

...hearing be damaged? I notice that when I play even with earplugs my tinnitus is very strong afterwards. Is this just normal, should I worry about it? How do these drummers do it for 20 years in a rock band? Metallica, Foo Fighters and so on? Are the in ear monitors even more noise...

If the airplane is worse than Airbus A380 then yes, upgrade your seat. Get basic 3M 1100 earplugs and optionally earmuffs on top of them. Noise cancelling headphones are good too (on top of earplugs).

...at work? My initial tinnitus was set off by noise exposure at work. :( I don't know if you've looked into it already, but noise cancelling headphones (like the bose quietcomfort) are very good at canceling out low frequency noises. They aren't as good at canceling high frequency sounds...

Hey man, just seen this thread, probably way too old by now but you should be okay if you wear a good pair of noise cancelling headsets I think :)

I did mean buds with isolation but I didn't think about this concept - interesting - though I don't really understand fully how canceling out noise could increase it. I think the sure se215s I use are just isolating and they block out a ton of sound...

Did you not say your tinnitus had gone away?

Have you considered Noise Cancelling Headphones?

According to him, would it be ok to wear earplugs under noise-cancelling headphones?

That might explain your spike. You could try Peltor earmuffs + earplugs or noise cancelling headphones + earplugs.

Bose noise cancelling headphones seem to be doing a good job of filtering out airplane engine noise. 3M Peltor earmuffs are also very good, are a lot cheaper, but are less comfortable.

My Bose wireless noise cancelling headphones definately caused my tinnitus. I'd love to know if any other brand is involved... I've never had tinnitus before except after 1 concert 40 years ago. Now it's 24/7 constantly squeeling. Not happy...

Not sure. Maybe someone else with real world experience of noise cancelling headphones could chip in?

Hi, Hope you're doing well. would it be possible to connect with you? I seem to have gotten Tinnitus using Noise Cancelling Headphones. You're help would mean a lot to me, really!. Thank you.
