> I'm now highly dependent on noise canceling headphones

When you wear them are you listening to music, white/pink noise, etc. or just have them on with nothing playing?

What kinds of noises do they cancel best, and what do they have the most trouble cancelling?

+1 on the noise canceling headphones. They're best at canceling ambient noises. Human voices around you do tend to somewhat leak in. Thats suppressed too if you put some music on. The other advantage is that you tend to hear music on much lowers volumes since a lot of the background noise is cut out.
