I see this is downvoted and people are asking for an explanation, and I don't have any backing for this either, but I'll share my experience. I have an "issue" with my left ear that makes it feel muffled, and distorted, and painful at loud noises. I have been to a few doctors but they weren't able to diagnose it, need to get it checked at a better doctor I guess.
I can definitely feel my issue get exacerbated with ANC even when I am not playing any music or playing music at low volume (have tried several devices including airpods where my issue is the worst, probably because their ANC is the best). So there is definitely something going on with ANC such that even when I have it on with extremely low volume music, it triggers my issue. -- Even when at the same "perceived volume" of non-ANC sounds the issue doesn't get triggered.
So much so that I do not use ANC. The issue gets triggered within seconds of when I start using it. So instead I just play music on very very low sound on my wireless earphones.
I don't why it happens with ANC, would love to know.
