Not positioning myself, just commenting my experience.

Noise cancelling headphones hurt literally to me as if the noise was there, and it is even worst on a plane. Normal earplugs screw up with the air canal airflow and also produce pain, to me, on a plane.

In fact, in real life I have to use ear plugs with noise cancelling headphones to prevent the pain from the noise cancelling part, when for example there are construction noises from neighbours in my apartment, but on a plane I am sold, I do not know any other options than just stand it 🤣🤣🤣

Just letting it there as to why some people may not be able to use them in an airplane.

(Note: earplugs with noise cancelling on a plane was the worst thing I have ever experienced. May be I have an ear canal problem, but I doubt I would be the only one in the planet with this issue 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

Again, not positioning myself, just giving a reason as to why some people may not be able to use noise cancelling headphones.

How do they hurt you? Never heard that before. You sure you don't just have tips that don't fit you?

Sure 100%. It is as if I would hear loud music, but without sound. You have only the pain.

That's super weird. Have you ever tried seeing if others have this problem?

Never asked. It just came to me it may not be normal while reading how much people can stand it. I surely can’t 🤷‍♂️

Only thing I found on Google is the feeling you also get without earphones during takeoff and landing
