Hi all
Hoping to have some input by qualified people, not only electrical engineers looking at things from electrical engineering perspective.
But of course any discussion is welcome.
I’ll use an extreme example for my question:
If we have headphones that do nothing in terms of passive isolation but have perfect active noise cancellation (ANC), then standing next to a dangerously loud noise source, we may perceive no noise at all, but is there still physical / mechanical permanent damage to our hearing happening with ANC?
