Noise cancelling headphones are incredible, using them in a noisy airport eliminated 80% of the discomfort of travelling

[–] lifeinlarkhall@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Yup. Autistic and noise cancelling headphones help me in all kinds of environments I wouldn't be able to deal with otherwise. Including the airport!

I still need to find some good NC earbuds though. The Bose quiet comfort are fantastic but unfortunately known to stop working repeatedly (I'm about to get my 6th pair replaced through warranty over about 18 months!)

mine hurt my ears after an hour. it doesn't happen though when I turn the noise cancelling off.

Some noise canceling is better than others. If you get a chance to try another set, see if it still hurts

i've had three pairs, three brand. same effect.

i think the noise cancelling is just too loud on the airplane.
