Hello everyone,

Wishing you all the best for this new year! :)

I often use earplugs at work, as I frequently have to make long phone calls. For this, I rely on noise-canceling headphones. However, when I use both earplugs and noise-canceling headphones, my voice resonates quite a lot in my own head. In your opinion, could this contribute to an increase in my tinnitus level?

Additionally, I've noticed that noise-canceling headphones emit a low but distinguishable white noise. Has anyone experienced a worsening of their tinnitus due to this white noise generated by the headphones?

Thank you very much for your responses.

Kindly.
