    Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Tinnitus Sufferers?

    Inexpensive ear pads for Bose QC's. Maybe you can use them to modify yours. I bought some as backup replacements. Have not fitted them yet but they look and feel to the touch like the originals. One caveat is that the Bose have slanted speaker grills to accommodate the angular slant of ears so...

    Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Tinnitus Sufferers?

    Luman If you can get away with it good on you. I tried some cheapo Aldi $50 NC's which were effective too. But after 1/2 an hour the pads were pressing and hurting my ears. No good on long haul flights! The high end brands have cushions that surround the morphology ears and leave them alone...

    Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Tinnitus Sufferers?

    Yes the higher frequencies are suppressed, just not as much as the lower ones. Though I suspect the high frequencies are repressed naturally more due to the surround muffs of QC-35 rather than by the electronics. I also have standard trade ear muffs . They suppress noise fairly evenly across...

    Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Tinnitus Sufferers?

    Yes exposure to any high frequency acoustic feedback at close range is perilous, with or without NC headphones.

    Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Tinnitus Sufferers?

    Given the higher frequencies 1000 hz plus have a wavelength of 30cm or less there can be a perceptible phase difference between left and right ear (separated around 20 cm) when your head is turned side on to the direction of sound. Cancellation is less efficient. When I turn my head with NCs...

    Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones for Tinnitus Sufferers?

    My 2 cents worth. My tinnitus is mostly noise aggravated. This is where noise-canceling (NC) headphones help. Since the onset of my T came on in my 60's is it likely age related among other things. That means I would be living with it for the foreseeable future. What follows is my personal...

    Tinnitus 911 Scam

    https://www.fighttinnitusnow.com/difference_ko.php First sign of scam is bold claims (bold fonts in key places), images from image libraries (not real sufferers, actors). Slick pitch throughout. "Clinical trials" with no references. Confusing hyperacusis with tinnitus (don't know what they are...

    Bose Noise Cancelling

    Thinking of getting QC35 for noisy environments like air travel. Does anyone use them in noisy social gatherings? Yes you would look odd while everyone is ranting on around you, and maybe a tad self conscious. How do you deal with this? Martin

    The high pitch hissing version

    Hi all. Just joined. Read many of the useful posts to get some perspective on this condition. Thank you. I sincerely hope the research can wrap their heads around this and come up with a real cure. For years I've had a background hiss more like static that you could hear in a quite room and...
