Not specific to AirPods: I’ve had the same issue before with Bose Quiet Comfort 25. After using noise cancelling a few hours for a few days I was having this high pitch issue for a day or two. So not a permanent tinnitus (for me), still doesn’t sound good.
- sneak 6y agoAnother theoretical explanation: your tinnitus is always there, but you're not normally in extremely quiet places, and the quiet from the ANC lets you notice it better.
- jlnthws 6y agoNo, I was definitely not hearing high pitch when noise cancelling was on. I was hearing it when I removed the headset after using it of a few hours. It usually disappeared the next day. One time though i could still hear the high pitch for several days, that’s when I decided to stop using the QC25 and the high pitch eventually faded away and never came back, until AirPods.
- finger 6y agoI had a similar experience long before I got a real tinnitus. I had been playing computer games countless of hours per day, not with any loud volumes at all and I started getting insane tinnitus when going to sleep. One day I stuck my head real close to the monitor and noticed a high pitch coil whine-like sound. Either the frequency range changed over time or it was always audible but I didn’t notice it in the beginning. It turned out the monitor had been blasting high pitch whine all this time and being exposed to this barely audible loud sound caused me to have this crazy temporary tinnitus. A few days after getting replacing the monitor the issue was completely gone and I never had it again.
