Reducing noise
Hi,
Just wondered if anyone has ever used these, or tried something like them? https://www.flareaudio.com/products/calmer?variant=39506278023271
They were recommended to me by my therapist but I'd love to hear what people's experiences have been with them.

This is my first time hearing about them. But, seems like they would be very helpful. I love how they are said to be more gentle and not totally isolating!💜

I've ordered them so I'll let you know!! Thats what I liked the sound of - people suggests noise cancelling headphones and I'm like, no, I still want to be aware of my surroundings!!
Looks interesting and a great price! I’m interested to know how you find them once you’ve given them a go!
@CalmCoral
I use loop earplugs, which are very similar to these and they work great for me. I have the quiet ones and the engage plus ones. They eliminate enough background noise for me or dampen it to lessen sensory overload. If I'm having a very bad day with sounds, I use mine underneath sound cancelling headphones for absolute silence.

They are amazing!! The first day, I only wore them around the house for about an hour, and was seriously doubting them, nothing sounded any different. The next day, I wore them from the beginning of the day.
Walking to the bus I was calmer. Usually when the cars and tractors pass me, I flinch, but it was just better. I don't even know how to explain.
In classrooms, the noises like the projector humming, paper rustling, became background noise rather the centre of my attention.
It's just the realisation, this is what other people's worlds are like! No wonder I've been struggling.
@CalmCoral
I'm so glad for you! They seem to reduce all the difficult sounds I can't tune out (that everyone else somehow manages to) and then it's just, so much more bearable. I hope they keep helping you cope with sounds, finding accommodations that help is so good 😊
Thanks for the update! Sounds like they do the trick! Excellent news.
@CalmCoral
Awe I appreciate the update! Glad they are working well!💜
@CalmCoral it looks like it has a 50.50% chance of working.. i think you should still try it :)
