Turn Down the Volume! Loop Earplug Review | Sensory Overload/ Anxiety/ ADHD/ Noise Sensitivity
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Edit: At the beginning of the video timestamp 0:53 I accidentally switch the decibel level for the Quiets and Experience. To be clear the Quiets filter up to -27 and the Experience up to -18. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks to the viewer who brought this to my attention.
I bought the Loop Earplugs to try out and review. They are highly touted in the autism communities to help with anxiety, sensitivity to noises, general anxiety, etc. I review both the Loop Quiet and the Loop Experience in this video. These Noise Reduction Earplugs have made a huge difference in my and my kids lives already!
Update (7/28/22): My daughter's case and one earbud broke. I reached out to the company and in less than 12 hours received a response they will send out a replacement since they have a lifetime guarantee. I just sent in a photo of the broken Earplug. Amazing customer service!
Update (9/8/22): I still love my loop earplugs! I'm getting myself tested for autism. Sound sensitivity is just one trait many autistic people have. I have a new channel
🌹 / @i.am.mindblind
if you'd like to learn about my neurodivergencies of aphantasia, SDAM (a memory disorder) and possibly Autism.
Update (10/11/22) I am officially diagnosed Autistic and ADHD.

Confused? You introduce the quiet as blocking out the most sound compared to the experience but then say quiet blocks “up to -18 decibels” and experience “up to -27” ….can you clarify?
The Quiets block up to -27 and the Experience up to -18. If I misspoke, I apologize, do you have the time stamp of that? So to reiterate, the Quiets block more sound than the Experience. Hope that helps and sorry about any confusion I may have caused.
@@TheNeurospicyMama time stamp is at :53 through 1:03. Thank you for clarifying and for the honest review. I have been considering them for my 20 yo daughter who has SPD and autism after she heard about them from another similarly aged autistic female on TikTok. After your video I am convinced we should give them a try!
Thank you for asking for clarification and noticing my mistake. I updated the description box with the correction and pinned your comment.
The quiet blocks out up to 27 decibels and then the experience I believe blocks out up to 18 decibels so you can still hear people clearly unlike the quiets which you can only really hear quiet muffles
No sirven en mi experiencia los voy a regresar.
Update: Hey I got the Loop Engage and I wear them every day at work. The feedback from my voice still sounds a bit louder in my head than I'd like, but it's noticeably improved when compared to the Loop Experience.
I can't believe they don't have a "clear" option available for all the styles; it is incredibly subtle and I have no issues with my supervisors over them :) I know I'm just a random commenter, but I never would've found out about these if you hadn't taken the time to reply and I'm extremely grateful!
I'm so glad you've found them helpful! I love my loops and grab them frequently for various loud events. If you do need a more discrete Noise Reduction Earplug, I just recently was contacted by the company Hearprotek. They sent me a pair to try for my new RUclips channel that is all about neurodivergencies. Here's the review for those ruclips.net/video/e5L3lKGjn04/видео.html I now grab my loops sometimes and these other times.
@@TheNeurospicyMama Oooh awesome! Thanks for the second recommendation ^_^
Thank you for this comment! I’m looking for some to wear at work too. I’m a dental receptionist so I still need to hear people talking, but I need the drilling sounds and clanking around to be dampened.
how do you find actually being able to hear people with them?
I've had a pair of Loop Quiets for about a year and half that are amazing to sleep in when my husband is snoring. Super comfortable and effective.
Good to know! I love they are reusable, I've been using the orange foam ones to sleep for years and always hate having to throw them away. I bought my kids some Quiets but I should get me some.
How do you change out the sizes, I can’t get them
off
I cannot thank you enough for recommending these to me - I have sensory overload and public places can be overwhelming so these were a life saver - thank you again
It's so amazing that such a small thing can be so incredibly helpful! I'm so glad you got them and they are helping you too! 😊
@@TheNeurospicyMama I know. It’s amazing how much ‘softer’ things sound.
Do they really work?
@@aprilsky8474 yes. The mute the noise enough to soften sensitivity
I am going on a trip and because of your review I bought the loop quiet and experience so excited for them to arrive . I am noise sensitive and I know this will help me feel better.
Have fun on your trip! I hope the earplugs help! I love them so much
Just a kind advice for your whole family: Maybe get everyone evaluated for autism 🙈 sensory issues rarely come without a neurodivergent condition ✨
And thanks for this video, I purchased both loop versions and tried to figure out how to use all those tips and add-ons xD your video really helped!
No worries! Check out my new channel ruclips.net/user/DittNDott Yep, my kids both got diagnosed with autism this last week and I'm currently getting a diagnosis too! 😁
What’s the benefit of having an autism diagnosis?
Would like to know this too.@@vee9133
Thank you so much for this review, I've just purchased the experience plugs as i work as a mental health supporter and been looking for something like this! some days it gets very noisy and overwhelming lots of shouting etc..so I hope these muffle background but still allow me to interact and communicate fully 😊
I hope they work for you! I use my loops so often!
Update: I'm getting tested for autism myself. I've started a new channel if your interested in learning about aphantasia, SDAM and my possible late autistic diagnosis. ruclips.net/user/DittNDott

Update: My daughter Maddie used these at Disney World and they helped dampen crowd and ride noise. She liked them, but she did still get overwhelmed at some points. She was very glad she packed them!

Good morning
Thank you so much for this review. I’ve been really struggling with sound sensitivity lately and these earbuds, specially the Quiets, seem like they be an example of something potentially helpful within my spending range.
They go everywhere I go! 😊
Great review. I think the condition you are talking about is called Misophonia, where people are bothered by oral noises such as chewing, and even breathing. I had a student years ago who had that, and we managed to find a set of earplugs that helped some. I'm glad to know that there are new and improved products for noise reduction. Sometimes I get overwhelmed, because I am essentially trying to overcompensate for two senses, so I often think it would be nice to have something that reduces noise. But for the most part, I've managed to develop a filter internally that does a pretty good job. The overwhelming feeling comes from just being exhausted because it takes more energy when gathering information from the environment, figuring out if it is relevant, etc.
Great to see you are doing some more product reviews. I don't have any doubt that you wouldn't review anything honestly, so if you say this is a worthwhile product, than it is. It may not work for everyone, but that doesn't make it a bad product.
Finally, Watson's snoring was hilarious. (I recognize it may not be so when you have to hear it every single night while trying to fall asleep.) But the audio nerd and me couldn't help wondering what that would sound like sped up or slow down, or even echoed multiple times. In that little clip, it sounded like a miniature lion roar. 🤣🤣🤣
Oh man, I was so excited to get that footage of Watson snoring, he actually fell asleep at my feet while I was editing! I carefully picked up my camera and hit record without moving to wake him up!
You'd probably like the Experience Earplugs that can knock down some of the sound but still let some sound through.
I'm glad you liked the video! ❤️
Yes! Misophonia. It is real and I have it. I’m so excited to try these out.
Lmfao at how loud the pug snoring was! That actually caught me off guard
His snores kind of grow on you. Haha, just kidding. I literally sleep with my ear plugs in he's so loud! 😆
Thanks for your honest review! I just moved to Singapore almost a month but where I live has a lot of massive noisy backgrounds such as construction sites, airplanes, neighbor kids, etc. It makes me less productive and causes headaches all the time @@ After seeing your review, I decided to buy myself one and it works!
I'm so glad you found a good solution to your new home. I've heard Singapore is so beautiful, but having headaches often because of noise pollution sounds miserable! Loops are just awesome. Thank you for leaving a comment!
I also have misophonia - it is awful - a very helpful video - thank you
It must be a frustrating "condition?" to have. I know it drives my kids crazy but they can't help it. I'm so glad these earplugs have helped at the dinner table!
You're not alone and it IS awful! I hate being irritated by so many common sounds
I'm so glad you mentioned Disney. That's exactly what I want to use these for. As well as other loud things. ❤️
They really have made a huge difference in our stress level. I'm so glad I bought them. They helped out at Disney a lot!
I have the loop quiet and love them. I just bought the loop switch which allows you switch between 3 different sound reduction levels so I can hear more in public settings. I hope they are worth the extra cost. I’ll let you all know.
Oh I'd be very interested to hear what you think! Tag me or leave a new comment, because I don't always see replies for some reason.
Thank you so much this is so helpful! As an autistic musician who struggles with overwhelming sound these will be perfect :)
So glad!
It seems our world, in general is getting noisier all the time. People talk about pollution of the environment but rarely discuss all the noise pollution! Even in the country, ATV's etc are very loud and very few bylaws in regards to them. Thank you for the review.
Thank you so much for your explanation! ❤️ I’ve been really wanting to know whether you can still speak to people, whilst using the Quiets, so this was super helpful! ❤️☺️
Thanks for your review! I never realized I had such bad sensory issues until I had a very rambunctious toddler. I was an only child and grew up in a relatively quiet home. Though, considering how I handled visiting my friend who was the oldest of 4, I should’ve known! Now with a toddler and dealing with her constant noise combined with terrible anxiety, I’m finding myself fighting a terrible panicky feeling in grocery stores and letting my daughter have way too much screen time just to keep her quiet. I just ordered a couple pairs of Loop earplugs and am really hoping they help! I’ve never been diagnosed with anything, but considering my parents thought autism was caused by vaccines and adhd was just bad parenting…
Also totally feel the pug pain! I have two and I feel like they compete with my husband to see who can snore the loudest!
Noise dampening earplugs have been game changer for my noise sensitivity. I hope they bring you relief too!
Excellent review. Thank you.
I just want to tell you.....your home looks wonderful, even we only see that corner behind you. Stylish and modern 👍👋😊
Thank you! I love a homey modern design! 😁 I'm glad you enjoyed the review too!
I’m autistic and I have the loop quiets ! They’re amazing. Eating with them in is painful though. I also have misophonia with chewing sounds, so wearing my loops while eating makes my chewing noises so loud that it makes me feel gross and messes with my appetite. I’m wondering if the experience don’t exacerbate the sounds of yourself chewing when you use them? Great video ! Saw you post it on the loop fb page lol
We are getting my daughter evaluated for autism. She normally wears her Quiets to the table because she can't stand other people's chewing noises. She said she can hear her own but it doesn't bother her the same way. She doesn't like the Experiences at the table because she says she can still hear other people's chewing with them. The Quiets block more decibels.
She wears her Quiets most of them time. She wears her Experiences at Taekwondo so she can still hear multiple people talking to her, but it filters out some background noises and lowers the volume in general.
Hope that helps and thanks for watching! Let me know if I can help further. :)
Hi! Loop has new models that stop the"inner voice issues"☺️ I just got some for my son
@@_Julie_Bee Hii, may you shears which ones stop the inner noise ☺️?
My Parents took me for white noise therapy for sensory issues for my hearing it does work very much of the sensory noise is gone. Live music is now enjoyable before it was not.
Thank you so much for your review, it helped me a lot! I just bought the experience! Have a nice day :)
I love to hear that! They are so helpful for me. I hope you like them as much as my family does.
These sound like a great product Amanda.
They have been so incredibly helpful to me. Background noises just cause me stress and make me tired, it's like I have to use brain power to block them out.
Yeah, I think when comparing the case, you have to consider the price point and for this price I think producing a better case would have been too expensive.
But thank you for the video ^^
I like Hearprotek earplugs too, I got them after loops. They are cheaper than loops with a more secure case. It isn't perfect either but I'm not worried about it popping open.
agree regarding the case closure! Love these so much. I have both Quiet and Experience Pro.
The company once replied to one of my comments on an ad they had that they were redesigning the case, but that was almost a year ago, so we'll see. 🤔🤔🤔
Which one would you recommend for a daily use to just don't get so much sensory overload?
Thank you for the review, I’ve just ordered the experience pro! I’m a flight attendant and some of the aircraft types I fly can be very loud. Unfortunately I am not allowed to wear earplugs during taxi, take off and landing for safety reasons ( I need to be on edge and all ears during these flight phases ) but while up in the air / during service I am allowed to wear earplugs. I was looking for some plugs that would reduced the background noice but where I still would be able to hear people talk.
I hope you love them as much as I do! They've made a huge difference. I like them on airplanes too.
uh I got one off of amazon and I think its 33. That may be too quiet but I think it will be fine. Im on a budget and it was only 13 dollars..
I just ordered the new Engage Pros. If I like them as much as I think I will, I’ll probably buy the Quiet and Experience too.
They make such a difference for me out when I'm shopping. I use the Experience most of the time.
Good review. I'm wearing my 'quiet' loops for the first time today. I pushed them in too far and blocked out all noise, only seen lips move but no sound. So had to fidget with them, till I could hear. It takes me quite a bit of time working with them to get them in and the loop part flat ( not sticking out) but eventually I get there., need more practice. Interested to see if I can hear and speak on the phone tomorrow at work. Also don't have any idea if I'm shouting while wearing them, all I can hear is my beathng and the sound of my own voice.
I've never used them on the phone, I'm interested to hear your experience. Glad you were able to get them to work for you.
My daughter and father both have hearing sensitivity along with misophonia (the chewing thing). She is always yelling at me when having chips or food while watching a movie. I will be getting these for them. Thanks!
Yep! My kids eat at the dinner table almost every night with theirs in. Glad you enjoyed the video.
A few years ago, my husband bought me Sony Noise Canceling Headphones. Game Changing! Saved our marriage.
I just got my Loops, Pro and the Quiet. Husband chews louder than our horses! Also, his head amplifies the chomps, smack, chomp. Finally, I clued into why I can be happy happy during the day, 20 minutes after he is home my HANGRY turns on! Hope these help.
I just got a pair of these for Disney. Thank you so much!
Awesome! Enjoy your Disney trip! They sure helped us on our trip this last summer.
Thank you for the great in depth review. I wanted to ask in addition, do the quiets give you that pressure stuffed sensation that silicone earphones give? You know the sensation where you get an amplification of internal sounds? If so, do the experience give the same sensation? I guess what I am asking is do the quiets sound natural but lower as opposed to unnatural. I intend to use these when riding motorcycles, and the noise reduction on the experience pro is not enough. I need the -27db on the quiets.
I find both to be comfortable in my ears without much pressure. It did take a few tries before I figured out the correct position that was comfortable. As for internal sounds, yes, you can hear for instance your own swallowing. But on a motorcycle I doubt you'd be able to. I really find that they do just lower volume of external sounds but still feels quite natural. For instance sometimes when I'm wearing my Experience Loops I think they might not be working, but if I take them out everything is suddenly so much louder. So you can still hear, just volum turned down. Hope that helps!
@@TheNeurospicyMama Thank you for your help. Just one more question, do you get that amplification of swallowing sound on both the quiet and experience, or just on the quiet? I ask because I have been using airpod pros recently and their noise cancellation mode is really great, I always forget that it is even on as it doesn't amplify
"internal sounds" that you get with cheep ear plugs. They do this by equalising the pressure between the outside and inside your ear. So the fact you have similar praise of forgetting you are wearing the experience is really reassuring.
I’m looking ear plugs right now and considering buying loop. I would love to know can you hear your body noises while wearing them? Like breathing, heartbeat, etc.?
In a quiet environment wearing my Experience Loops, I can her my swallowing and breathing. I can't here my heartbeat, but I'm not sensitive to that sound. With the Quiets I can hear swallowing. For both its if I tune in and pay attention. But those sounds aren't triggering for me, so I don't know how much they muffle for someone who is triggered by them. I do think Loop has a 30 day guarantee. I'd try them out, they really help my sensory disorder daughter. ❤️
@@TheNeurospicyMama thank you so much for your help 💕
The only "downside" to the Loop Experience for me is I'm struggling to talk because (to me) I feel like I'm absolutely shouting since everything feels echo-y inside my head.
Other than that.... they've been utterly life-changing. One of the best things I've ever bought for myself.
Have you heard? They just released a new version called the Loop Engage that focuses on getting rid of the echo in head feeling that some people experience. I don't experience it, but I have heard a few people talk about it now.
@@TheNeurospicyMama the IRONY as I just ordered same-day delivery of the Loop Experience because of how unbearable work has become. Well, I will definitely check out the Loop Engage and thank you for taking the time to let me know about them! ^_^
@@TheNeurospicyMama Edit: Just kidding. Saw the price. Saw how soon they'd get here. Saw that THEY COME IN CLEAR OH MY GOODNESS .... yeah I totally just bought them lol.... I'm at work 60-65 hours a week, plus running errands and being out in loud spaces. No guilt over this purchase lol (thank you again!!)
@@c.j.4014 hey did u find the engage ones improved on that ! ive seen some people say they make no difference to the experience ones and others saying they're great, confusion >~
@@c.j.4014 hey! did you find the engage much different to the experience? some say your voice when you have them in is virtually the same in the engage as with the experience?
Thank you for the amazing video, I am thinking of ordering a pair for myself since I am very sensitive to noise which has cost me a few nights of good sleep the past two weeks.
How well does each earbud (Quiet and Experience) mute or silence the snoring of your dog? That sounds a bit specific but oddly enough the resonance of their snoring seems pretty close to what is keeping me up at night. XD
Thanks for the question! Loop only recommends the Quiets for sleep as the entire thing is a soft silicone. It reduces -27 dB. Standard orange foam earplugs typically reduce -32 dB. I usually sleep with orange foam earplugs because my dog is so loud. I haven tried sleeping with the Quiets, as I bought those for my kids and only tried them briefly for this video.
Your pug’s hilarious and adorable btw 😂
Thank you, he's such a character! Huge personality in a small compact body.
Thank you! I'm neurodivergent and I lecture and find background noise in class so distracting. I hope I can find something like this in South Africa. Or that can be ordered..
Hopefully you can find them on Amazon! They have made such a difference for me and my daughters. 😁
Loop ships worldwide!
Hey please review the loop switch, seriously thinking about buying them
👍 I'll see if I can get Loop to send me some. I bought these myself. I actually prefer the Hearprotek brand these days.
Great review, 👍. Please can you help me? I don't know which one will be more useful to study and concentrate near to people talking (in coffee for example,)
I'd try the Loop Quiets, they block the most noise. Or the Experience Plus. Those have an extra piece you can add for more blocking, I haven't personally tried the Experience Plus though. Thank you for your kind comment!
Excellent review. Did you try to Loop Engage?
No I haven't. The Experience tend to work fine for me.
That's cool, oh btw, it's called sensory processing disorder
Yep! After this video, my kids and I were diagnosed Autistic/ADHD with sensory processing disorder. I vlog about it in detail on my other channel @i.am.mindblind
Can I ask, do you hear your voice more when their in? I really struggle with hearing my voice too much when I’m talking
I keep meaning to put them in and pay attention to this for you, but I haven't remembered to do that yet. Hopefully someone else sees this and comments too! I'll try to remember. ❤️
Some reviews say they do nothing. Do they really work and are worth it? Also which ones to get rid of most sound do you recommend?
I think they really do bring down the volume. They are not noise canceling. When you first put them in it may seem like nothing is thar different. But wear them a few minutes and take them out you'll realize how much sound the dampen! The quiets reduce the most sound. I think there's also one that has an insert that may bring the volume down even more. I prefer the experience because I just want the sound dampened but to still be able to hear clearly when people talk to me. Wearing the quiets the person has to be close by and talking directly to me.
@@TheNeurospicyMama thank you so much for your reply 😃
@@aprilsky8474 anytime! I love helping to the best of my ability
I have a question I'm noise sensitive and considering wearing these to school for class but still want to hear the teacher which would be better experience or quiet ?
I'd recommend the Experience for that!
Hi can you help me?
I work in an open space office (so I have different people closed to me).
I’d like to consistently reduce both ambient and voices noises to be more focused when carrying out my tasks.
However I wouldn’t like to be completely isolated from everything (for example if a colleague is trying to call me, I’d like to be able to notice it, even if his voice noise is significantly reduced).
So on one hand I want all the noises (of the voices as well) to be hugely reduced but on the other hand I would appreciate if I could be a little aware if someone is calling me.
Is that possible with the loop experience pro (with the mute filter on) for instance? Or the voices are too much high (even with the mute filter on)?
Because if with the loop experience pro the noises of the voices are still too much high, I would be disturbed the same (and in that case I would choose the quiet: I would be very isolated and not able to notice if someone is calling me, it’s true, but at least I would be focused when doing my tasks that it’s the priority for me).
I hope you understood the situation.
Thank you very much in advance for the answer!
I haven't used the filter so I don't know how well it works. I use the Experience when I'm at the grocery store. It reduces the horribly loud music but I can still hear when someone is talking to me directly. I wish the music was more muted, but I do like to hear people around me, and at the register ect. My kid wears the quiets to Taekwondo to reduce all the noises. It's harder to hear the instructor but they can hear well enough with them in. Hope that helps.
your video is like the 6th review I have watched. What about the internal sounds? Did you hear that. That seems to be one of the complaints. I am autistic too and I want a pair to take to disneyland I just can't stand the boom boom of the heart in my ears anyways and wondered if you or your daughter had that issue.
If it's really really quiet we can hear internal noises, but out and about we don't hear them, it doesn't amplify them.
@@TheNeurospicyMama I ended up buying a set for sleep and then the experience plus so have the option of the damper or not.
Wish these were around when I was a kid to young adult hood.
Before my official diagnosis of autism 2 years ago at age 50. I only hear from my left side. I always was caught unready in situations where there was loud noises or music and had to stuff paper in my ear. These loops are brilliant.
It's called processive sensory disorders.
I have autism spectrum disorders and certain noises bothers me.
I actually got diagnosed autistic adhd a few months after making this video! I talk about my late autistic diagnosis journey on my other channel @i.am.mindblind
Can you still hear people talking to you. Or traffic sounds. With the quiet version
Yes. These aren't noise canceling they just dampen noises.
what size do you recommend for adults please?
Each style comes with several ear pieces so you can experiment with what size works best for your ears. The ones that came already on the earplugs fit my ears perfectly.
@@TheNeurospicyMama thank you
How did yout kids do in Disney using this product?
They helped a lot. Sometimes the kids would use these plus noise canceling headphones. We all ended up officially getting diagnosed Autistic a couple months after our Disney trip. For the trip I was beginning to suspect it, but we hadn't had our tests done yet. I wish I had known to ask for accommodations at Disney. They do have things in place that could have helped us enjoy our trip even more. But I'm at least thankful we had these earplugs! Still, for us, unfortunately, Disney is not our favorite place because of all the sensory issues. We were going as an extended family trip. Not all autistic people are this way, some autistic people are sensory seekers and LOVE all the stimulation of Disney. ❤️
Hi, I am a solo pianist in the huge lobby of a hotel. It gets very, very noisy during the busy afternoon tea sessions (customers talking loudly, staff throwing cutlery and plates like there's no tomorrow)
My question is: for this situation, which Loop earbuds should I get? I only need to hear myself playing the piano (no singing or talking with customers as I'm quite a distance from them) Thank you!
I'd recommend the Loop Experience for your situation. 😊
@@TheNeurospicyMama Thanks so much for your quick reply. I was actually eyeing the Experience Plus.
I think you mean the Experience Pro? That would be a good option because the extra inserts can give more flexibility to control the sound coming in. I haven't tried the inserts so I can't speak to them specifically, but could be a perfect solution.
@@TheNeurospicyMama my Experience Plus and Quiets finally arrived today. I used the Plus in the hotel and it worked very well, cutting 23 dB of background noise (I inserted the mutes), while still allowing myself to hear my piano.
For the record, I measured the background noise levels with a sound meter app in my phone. It was close to 70 dB! The Experience Plus has proven to be a godsend.
he there i have a question i have a daughter who is highly sensitive which of the two is better for her I've tried several but she still hears too much
The Quiets do dampen the sounds the best. My daughter wears her Experience in class when she still needs to hear the teacher across the room. The Quiets do let in some noise, they don't block all sounds. She'll wear the Quiets when we go shopping together and wants to block out the music from the loudspeakers but still wants to be able to hear me, next to her. Hope this helps!
How do you wear them? I find it very difficult and the instructions on the website are not clear
I insert them into my ear and twist until the loop is lying flat in my ear.
Looks good to use
They are so helpful in a lot of situations! I'm so glad I found them.
Misophonia is the issues with eating noises.
Does it help to reduce tinnitus ?
According to their website: Loop Earplugs will definitely protect your ears from developing tinnitus or the worsening of a current condition. However, they will not reduce the volume of internal sounds like ringing in your ears and are not a cure for an existing condition. - Hope that helps.
How did you get diagnosed autistic so quickly? Who did you see? What were their credentials? It seems so hard to get diagnosed in California if you are “high functioning”(I hate the term because each day is different on how well we are able to function due to many different factors). But wonder if maybe we just dont know how to get to the right type of doctor for diagnosis. Autism centers here are very ableist and also told us they dont even look at “high functioning” when diagnosing, so our over a year long wait for that assessment was annoying. But we did get every diagnoses you can think of under the autism umbrella of traits or comorbidities lol
I got diagnosed in Vancouver Washington at Adventure Psychological Services. They don't have the same wait times as a lot of places because they only serve teens and adults. Dr. Anson Service evaluated me, he is a psychologist. He also is Autistic (and has really good videos on RUclips as The Neurodivergent Doctor.) I also vlog a lot more detail about my diagnosis journey on www.youtube.com/@i.am.mindblind channel.
Would these earplugs help with auditory processing disorder?
I have auditory processing disorder, but I think it helps more with sensory processing disorder. I do wear them often to help me not get overstimulated.
@@TheNeurospicyMama Oh, so did you do DOT training for your apd? If so, I hope it went well.. am looking for some sort of therapy or treatment for mine
No earplugs for me if I am buying a concert ticket😂
Fair enough, but there's a lot of us who use these just to go to a coffee shop. I get so overstimulated by noise! I have to dampen my environmental sounds to function
i have them. for me & my daughter it doesnt work...
They do lower the decibals, do you have a right fit for you ears? They don't make it completely silent, just quieter. It may not be enough for your sensory needs, but they do lower volume. I also really like the Hearprotek brand. I tried them after Loops. They are a softer silicone.
Purchased the Loop Quiet for my loud neighbors and they are an epic fail!
Aw, I'm sorry! They are noise dampening, not noise canceling. Did you try different size tips and twist them in for a good fit? They do have a return policy. Sorry they didn't work out for your needs. Noisy neighbors are the worst! I hope you can find a solution. 😔
Does Loop have them for kids? I have very small ears.
They do have different sizes silicone pieces that come in a small size. I also like Hearprotek Brand (I got the Hearprotek after this loop video) The Hearprotek are a super soft silicone. I like both earplugs for different reasons. I think the Loops look cool and work great, I like the Hearprotek because they are more invisible when I don't want people to notice my earplugs and I think the soft silicone is nice.
I can't figure out how to make them fit, maybe my ears are weird
Did you try the different size silicone tips? I put it in and twist until it's comfortable.
Fit much better now. Thank you.
@@siramea Yay! 😁
In some comments I read that when wearing these you can experience your own voice/sounds louder in your own head.
Im sensitive to sounds. And it can make me very frustrated and tired. I've been thinking about trying ear loops for a while now. And Im thinking about the experience pro. But I question is it worth it if your own voice is going to sound weird? Is that not annoying? Because I want to wear them all day. Not just at night or at a activity. Just daily.
I have heard this complaint. I don't experience it, so for me it isn't an issue. They do have a return policy so that is good. I also filmed another video on my other channel where I compare the loops to the Hearprotek brand. For all day use, I'd go with hearprotek. I love both brands for different reasons, but for long use I think hearprotek is more comfortable.

Where did you get them ? Please.
I have an Amazon link in the description box. This is a link to the experience loops amzn.to/3TWjsN4
How do you know what size to buy?
Based off using earbud headphones I know my ears are small and same for my kids. They do have a return policy so I just guessed on small and they work well for us.
These are over priced plastic ear plugs
They work well. I also like Hearprotek brand, which are cheaper, if that helps. They are different than foam earplugs because they lower decibals without muffling the sound.
yes, a must have for first world problems, like pugs snoring (just a thought.... dont let him/her sleep in our bedroom)
You must not have pets. Of course we let our dog sleep in our room, he's part of the family. Also, I have Autism and so am very sensitive to all sounds. I cannot sleep soundly without earplugs. Loop Earplugs help me manage sound sensitivity during the day in loud places and I sleep with noise canceling foam earplugs at night. Just because YOU don't experience sound as a problem doesn't mean that for many of us it can lead to sensory overload.
@@TheNeurospicyMama I have had a dog, but my bed was mine, and I never slept in his bed, and we both slept better thru the night
Best of luck to you 😀🙏
My pug sleeps in a dog bed or a chair in our room. But I think that people who do love to sleep with their pets is fine.
