If you listen to music on normal volume while the noise cancellation is on, you can drown out anything.

I used to do that, and got tinnitus. Now, I try to keep the volume pretty low

Hm that sounds kind of worrying, but maybe we have different definitions of normal volume? I've been using noise cancelling headphones pretty much daily for 3 years and still no tinnitus in sight.

I also had some sinus issues that likely contributed. I really did have the headphones on for at least 8 hours a day. Then going home watching TV, not getting enough sleep. I'm guessing it all added up.
