Hi,

I don’t know if its just my imagination or can active noise-canceling actually be felt in your ears? Like I get they cancel out soundwaves but it leaves a kind of pressure behind. After some time it stresses me out more than actual noise from traffic. Is this placebo or a real thing?

It feels like when you go on a airplane and your ears close because of the altitude switch, and I get the same reflex of trying to yawn to make it go away

    No its the lack if low frequency sounds that does it when it comes to anc. Anc removes sound by destructive interference it doesnt create extra sound that somehow fatigues your ears. It wouldnt make any sense for it to be fatigue either way since people tend to notice the effect as soon as anc is turned on not after a while.
