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
It’s called cabin pressure and it’s quite normal, It happens because your ears feel the muffling of the ambience too suddle so your brain thinks youre in a place with higher pressure. Some people are very sensitive to it, many others aren’t. The quality of the ANC’s ingeniering also matters.
