AirPod Pro - nausea with ANC?
Discussion
Hi,
I bought a pair of Airpods Pro last week and when I use the noise cancellation feature I feel nauseous after about 10 mins of use; I've done a search on google and it's apparently a thing that some people can suffer from.
Just curious to see if anyone else has suffered from this?

Been using mine for a year now and haven't experienced this at all personally. Do you get it with over-ears too?
Funnily enough I did have a pair of Bose QC25 headphones and had the same issue, but I thought it was down to the fact that they were over ear rather than ANC causing the problem. I guess ANC is just not for me, which is a pity as they fit much better than normal AirPods.I went in a really quiet soundproofed room at a hospital once where they test your hearing, and it made me feel a bit 'funny'. I get the same funny feeling when I use noise cancelling headphones. I now just stick to 'noise blocking' earphones with the memory foam tips to give a really good fit.
I don't like the weirdness of not being able to hear anything outside. Would rather hear the world behind my music, but massively quieter.
I also felt sick and fell over when someone insisted I had a go with a virtual reality headset for the first time ever about 12 months ago. Prior to trying it on, the guy was telling me it was the very latest 90Hz refresh system where apparently no one ever feels sick.
I spoke to a doctor about it, and he thinks that the operations I had on my ears to drain fluid and suchlike as a child have probably disabled my inner ear fluid balance, and my balance is no being provided by sight and other senses.
The VR then fools my brain into thinking that stuff is moving, and I fall over, because the image isn't actually fully representative of 'which way is up'.
If you lose one way of sensing something, the body will compensate in very clever ways to ensure normal service.
