We often receive requests for recommendations on specific headphones that might be used for listening to Notched Sound Therapy.
The characteristics of appropriate headphones are as follows:
- Sufficient sound fidelity and quality
- Effective blocking of external noise
Some individuals have asked us if Noise Cancelling Headphones are required. In theory, these headphones would be appropriate in that they would most effectively block out most external noise, however, they are not necessary.
The headphones using for the tinnitus pitch detection on the Notched White Noise study were Sennheiser HD 202 headphones.
We recommend purchasing mid-range headphones that are circumferential (cover your ears), and do not at this time endorse a specific brand.
Cheers,
