Headphones that eliminate background noise? - JustKeepSwimming


Posted: Mar 14, 2015

Does anyone have recommendations for headphones that eliminate background noise? Do they exist? I am so tired of hearing one doctor dictate in the background of another!!

My Bose are wonderful at eliminating noise in MY background, - but I really do not think it is possible to

To alter the environmental conditions that existed when and where it was recorded. You might try a polite note... Blank at (this time stamp) due to excessive background noise.

Headphones cannot do what you want - sm

Headphones that eliminate background noise obscure noise in your environment, not on the tape.

The only thing you can do about sounds in the dictator's background is to train yourself to focus on the dictator and not on the background.

The more upset about background noise you become, the more you will hear it.

Part of the MT's job has always been to deal with background noise. Doctors can't find places to dictate that are totally silent. Hospitals are crowded, noisy places. The phones are at nursing stations and other busy locations.

The doctor who is dictating also has to deal with that background noise. He has to concentrate in spite of it. He can't do anything about it, either.

I purchased my Sony 90% ambient noise reduction headset from Radio Shack. Model no. MDR-NC8. Paid about $40. Satisfied with the headset and have tried others in the past.

Best Noise Cancelling Headphones?
Mar 11, 2012

I am looking for a good set of noise cancelling headphones- i don't want the kind that you have to switch on because i always forget to turn them off and the batteries die.  My friend has a great set of Sony headphones that go over the ear and totally block out sound.  I don't think they make them any more, however.  They were sonyMDR-V600.  But if anyone knows of a good brand that is comfortable over the ears and the head and fits snugly (but not too snugly) and bl ...


Noise Canceling Headphones
Nov 13, 2014

Can someone recommend a brand of noise cancelling headphones that fit over the ears, not earbuds, that work well and do not hurt your head? I've found they either don't work at canceling out the noise (we have limited in space in our apt and I have to work in the family room which is noisy) or they hurt bad because I have to wear glasses and they press on those and squeeze my head. Thanks! ...

Did They Eliminate The 'PAUSE' Command??
Dec 24, 2012

How would the doctors like it if every patient they saw paused for over a minute between words? Then they complain when we are out of TAT. Can they comprehend that for all the hours MTs are left sitting at their desks not producing because they are waiting and waiting for the next word to finally ooze from the dictator's mouths, they are delaying TAT for that report? I wonder if they are aware how much time we spend working while producing nothing. ...


Eliminate The MTSO - Thoughts?
Apr 09, 2015

For others who have had it with the miniscule wages, unreasonable expectations and unethical business practices, have you thought about working directly for the providers again?   What would it take to be able to do this?   Are all EMRs set up to receive dictation?  Anyone know how we would integrate our services with the EMR and the approximate cost? I would think that for providers who are fine with 24-hour turnaround, we could offer the same service they are receivi ...


What Is That Snapping Noise?
Jan 25, 2013

I hear it occasionally, but on one dictator it's really bad.  It's hard enough to hear him.  He talks at the speed of light, runs his words together, moves away from the mouthpiece and his voice fades into oblivion, then that blasted snapping noise on top of it all.  I can't turn up the volume because it kills my ears.  What is it? ...

Billing And Coding With MT Background

Background Check For Coders
