Flare Calmer Pro – Ear Plugs Alternative – Reduce Annoying Noises Without Blocking Sound – Premium Version - Soft Reusable Silicone with Aluminium Core - Black Ice

I read the info on these carefully, and read the reviews as well, took the company's advice about using them for as long as possible during first 24hrs and how to compare hearing with and without the use of calmer pro. And I was genuinely blown away.I am autistic, I also have ADHD and sensory processing issues. I can hear the phone ring in a different class to the one I am in over two classes of special needs students who are very noisy - the only place I could go that would be louder is most likely a gig/concert or theatre!So with that said I found on return to work after Christmas break that I was reaching autistic burnout and getting very triggered by all the noises in the school. I decided to do something about it because I was desperate not to end up in total burnout unable to go to work, so I bought a pair of calmer pro and a pair of loop experience pro in the same order. They both work very differently - loop is a deadener earplug, whilst calmer is not what Id call an earplug but it's form is supposed to reduce distortion of sound as it reaches the ear making harsh sounds feel softer.Calmer pro surprised me the most - it genuinely does make harsh and usually triggering sounds, softer and much more manageable. I don't know how it does it, as there's not even any batteries but I really don't care because it works! It will even soften the harsher sounds of tantrum meltdowns, and the harsher sounds of a stern adult voice! As for listening to music it brings a greater clarity to all the sounds and you notice details that you hadn't before (I tested using a track I know well enough that I can remember all its details and play it in my head without the use of technology)! I also tested it watching a documentary on the Hillsborough disaster - I'm really not keen on the sport in the first place tbh but as a child I went to a couple of live games and that was okay, but on TV the crowds and commentators give a horrible texture to that experience - and what happened was that I was able to watch it because somehow it sounded better with calmer pro.Comfortable to wear all day as long as they're inserted correctly but the instructions for this are straightforward, they don't fall out and very rarely slip (the rare occasion this happens is likely to be after eating, if they're not inserted quite deeply enough).I'm so glad I took a gamble - I think Calmer pro will help stave off autistic burnout for a little longer, perhaps long enough for me to find some helpful strategies to use in conjunction with these.If you're on the fence, my advice is try them and hopefully you won't regret it, I didn't! (I went straight in with the Calmer pros, I haven't tried any of their other products yet!)

These were comfy and easy to keep clean. Very easy to lose though

…they'll try and convince you a number of things, like; "have you got them in the right way round" or "you've got to leave them in for a certain period of time", but the bottom line is that it's not user error, but a complete scam of a product.Sure, there may be some 'placebo' effect for some - but these should be withdrawn from, market until they can actually back up their false claims with real scientific evidence.Snake oil. Buyer beware!

I’ve had some hearing problems since childhood, including audio discrimination disorder where ambient noise clouds my perception of people’s voices, and as a young adult I spent too much time blasting music in my car, so now in my 30s my hearing has been telling me I need some form of assistance to protect it. Having young kids already meant that at times I’ve had to resort to ear plugs or AirPods (whichever was close by), to deal with various forms of noise and screaming to avoid physical pain and the corresponding stress or anger if my hearing hurts.So having seen ads for these Flares for months, I decided to give it a try.Right off the bat I’d say, like many reviews try to communicate, this doesn’t cover your full spectrum hearing, otherwise they’d be closed plugs. But I have a very tangible sense of having my hearing more protected with these, even with screaming kids, since the high pitch levels seem to be cut down a bit to the point of removing pain when my kids scream, meaning I’m also able to keep a lot calmer and less stressed.After wearing them for a while there’s a definite sense of my hearing feeling ‘naked’ when I taken them out, but your ears also get fatigued from them so I try choose my moments when to wear them.As far as my audio discrimination, I’ve yet to fully give this a run for long enough but I do think they help somewhat. Even so, that would be a bonus as my intended goal was to avoid pain and noise harm, which I think this is achieving very well.The other thing I like, is that these are likely an investment I can keep for years to come. No batteries, no firmware updates, no compatible cables required, just a fully analog tool to help my hearing, which is a rare thing these days.Only downside for me is the little visible antennae sticking out of my ears but it’s a small price for the benefits and I guess anyone asking will be made aware of either your hearing issues or the benefits of using these in audibly stressful environments.

I suffer with chronic migraine, which comes with sensory overload and noise sensitivity.Whilst you still hear everything perfectly, it really does change how the noise hits your ears. I find if there's too much background noise I struggle to hear the person next to me. Well with the calmer pros in I held a conversation with family members in a busy noisy pub. On another occasion I was suffering with a migraine attack around 5+ adults and 3 young children and whilst my head was agony, the children playing excitedly and the noise of 3 or 4 different conversations did not hurt my head or ears further like normal. I was still able to engage and keep up with everyone.The ear plugs sit comfortably in the ears, so much so I often forget I'm wearing them.I have since bought a pair for my mum who has slight trouble hearing in her right ear, and managed to hear me well over the noise of a loud TV and many people talking near us! Really wish I had known about these sooner!

These things are great. They alter the high frequency distortion in your ear canal, that you didn’t even know you had until you try these. It reduces ear fatigue from things like hvac & bedroom fans. Personally, it helps me focus a bit better depending on the task at hand

I bought these because I have very sensitive hearing, and these really help take the edge off loud sounds and noises. I feel that I am a lot calmer in my day now as a result. I previously bought the original Flare Calmer earplugs, and they worked great, but I decided to splurge and get the Pro ones as well. They both definitely work, but I think the Pro ones do the best job. Really worth the purchase in my opinion.

An hour after I put them in my wife asked how they were working. I'm stunned, I replied. I cant believe how much difference they make because it doesn't seem like they would make any difference at all.Sound reduction is hardly noticeable.Since buying them the only times I've found myself getting overwhelmed for "no reason" I realized I wasn't wearing them. I've always known I was sensitive to sound but I didn't realize how much ambient noise effected my mood until I started wearing these. I wear them all day every day now.They are far superior to ear plugs because they don't block the sounds I want to hear and they don't make it so that I can hear myself breathe and chew. It really is like magic.My only quibble is that the instructions weren't very clear and it took about a week to figure out how to get them in properly where they stay in without messing with them. Now, however I can pop them in and out no problem.Anecdote: I was at a classical music concert recently. I had them in and half way through the performance took them out to experiment with the difference in sound. But once I did the only thing I could hear was the lady behind me, whose leather jacket squeaked whenever she moved. It drove me so crazy I popped the buds back in almost immediately and enjoyed the rest of the concert.I have a hard time explaining to my friends how they work. But they do!

Seit meinen Teenagerjahren plagen mich Geräusche. Angefangen bei Hundebellen, Signale über schrille Schreie bis hin zu Essgeräuschen. Am schlimmsten sind rhythmische und wiederkehrende Muster.Misophonie zerstört das Sozialleben. Meine geliebte Frau hat großes Verständnis für mein/unser Leiden.Natürlich lassen sich besonders schlimme Phasen am besten mit aktiver Geräuschunterdrückung überbrücken. Die besten Ergebnisse erziele ich mit den AirPods Pro der 2. Generation und neuer.Nun kann man diese nicht durchgehend tragen. Im Dienst fällt man negativ auf.Daher startete ich einen weiteren Versuch mit diesen Calmer Pros.Und was soll ich sagen, ich sitze auf dem Sofa und die Familie knuspert Chips.Es ist wie eine Offenbarung. Die Geräusche sind nicht weg, aber sie triggern nicht mehr. Das Öffnen von Chipstüten bereitet mir keine körperlichen Schmerzen, Ekel oder Hass.Ich hoffe, dass dies nun lange so bleibt. Auch dass sich mein Gehör nicht adaptiert und es wieder langsam rückwärts geht.Die Zeit wird es zeigen.Das Produkt hilft mir in jedem Fall. Ich kann nur dazu animieren, es auszuprobieren.

C'est ma 3ème paire. Très satisfaite, excellent produit. Ce ne sont PAS des bouchons d'oreille. Pas vraiment.Si les personnes à la recherche de bouchons d'oreilles pouvaient cesser de baisser les notes, ce serait apprécié... Parce que Amazon risque d'arrêter d'en vendre et je ne peux plus vivre sans.Ce produit est fait pour vous si vous avez une sensibilité particulière aux bruits :- fatigue, maux de tête, acouphènes, grésillements fréquents dans les oreilles...- certains bruits vous sont insupportables : mastication, crissements, frottements...- que vous êtes exposés à des bruits de fond parasites et que cela vous gêne : classes bruyantes, open-space, route fréquentée, musique pour ceux qui bossent dans les magasins...Les FLARE Calmer n'étouffent pas les bruits. Ils ne les suppriment pas non plus. Ils les adoucissent, ils rendent les sons plus clairs et agréables. Quand je les mets c'est comme si mon cerveau se détendait instantanément, comme si je revenais d'une bonne sieste.Ça ne règle pas tout, mais ce produit rend le quotidien bien plus agréable !
