My sound sensitivity was getting worse I couldn't leave home without carrying noise cancelling headphones. When I tried Calmer I literally did tear up, just being able to go out without headphones like a normal person. I haven't done that in years.
Im still using my headphones (with music on) to cancel out noises and the outside world. Thinking of making the same step as you did. Would you recommend it?
I have the Flare Earshade+, sleeeps glow, and a set of calmer & calmer nights. Flare Audio never initially claimed calmers helped with tinnitus. Several customers wrote them and said it helped. After a while, they researched and found that Calmer's helped some people with tinnitus. While I respect your opinion, I have twisted ear canals with mild tinnitus and someone I know has severe tinnitus and Calmer's along with their other products help greatly.
I have not seen any where that those are made to provide relief for Tinitus sufferers. It is clearly stated that it is to provide relief to people that suffers from hyper sensitivity to external sounds, people with anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, autism and misophonia. I also see a lot of reviews with people saying those do not work as they do not reduce sounds and noises, again, those are not normal earbuds, those are earbuds to reduce high pitch sounds for people with hyper sensitivity, so they can put them on and go on with their normal life.
Flare Audio never claimed that this product was specifically for Tinnitus, Only that they have had customers say that calmer has helped with their tinnitus. Flare Audio is still doing research on why they think calmer is helping some people. no this might not be a cure but why would tell someone not to try something if it helps them even a little bit, so they don't work for you what you spent $20
@@rayn2817 I’ve gotten the Calmer Night’s recently and although the normal ones are great, the Night ones are much softer silicone and seem to dampen out a slightly wider range of frequencies. The headphones I have block out too much but these are just 🤌 **chef kiss** perfect.
personally i'm autistic and i love them, they really help with my sound sensitivity without isolating me from others (i'm still able to clearly hear what they're saying), and my voice remains the same unlike with regular earplugs
As someone who has misophonia, I bought the normal ones and they're working actually great, even though I have really extreme misophonia. They're kind cool!
@@kristy848 same for some reason family bothers me most, but visual things also bother me. It's really frustrating because I know people feel like they're on egg shells around me... You should tell him that scientist have discovered a few things about misaphonia: we typically have larger amygdalas, we have more neural connectivity to our auditory cortex, and our brains process normal sounds in the fight or fight region (again the amygdala). It's not something were just all annoyed by.
Thanks for this! I was considering getting some because the reviews are so consistently glowing, but if that's because they delete negative reviews I'll save my cash
Hi Ben, I feel you're putting a blanked "no for tinnitus" over the Calmers, kind of like your video is just shy of being titled 'Calmers Debunked', which I don't really think is a fair assessment, even by your own words... If people have tinnitus with a hyperacusis kicker and you agree yourself that a) hyperacusis can trigger peoples tinnitus and b) hyperacusis should be approached by isolating yourself from the sounds that trigger it and then by trying to reduce the degree of isolation to shift the auditory brain back into a "normal" state, then I'd like to just briefly highlight my journey... I played in touring bands for years with no ear protection, *ironically inserts metal horns hand gesture*. I had BAD tinnitus! To the point I started to ponder on my long-term mental resistance to it... I tried everything, but to no avail. I started wearing ear plugs to any events, any social gatherings and even driving. I hated how much they isolated me with my tinnitus and had this constant battle of deciding between being stuck isolated with my real-time tinnitus and protecting my ears in the long term from the tinnitus becoming worse... I got the Flair Calmers and -- for me -- they strike the perfect balance of a little bit of protection and not being isolated with the tinnitus. I also felt they came along at the perfect time in the taper down from pretty heavy isolation to a milder balance - almost like a slightly hollowed out earplug was the natural next step... I now hardly wear any ear protection and pretty much don't notice any ringing in my ears unless I've taken an unexpected shot in the ear. All from a £19 roll of the dice! Like I mentioned, by your own words, you've stated Calmer could help hyperacusis, which can trigger tinnitus. Thus, Calmers can indirectly have a positive impact on tinnitus. It may be a knock-on effect, but you will know yourself ANY effect -- especially a positive one -- can be life saving for someone really suffering. I understand that specialists in their specific fields have a duty to call out what is perceived as junk science, but tinnitus is in many ways a very unique curse and I feel due to it's very subjective nature, any treatment should be approached with an open mind and as dynamically as possible. So, with that in mind, the placebo effect can be a powerful treatment that can give some life saving relief to someone in a bad way - people have been throwing 10% of their income at an invisable man in the sky for millenia in the hopes of cures for incurable illnesses, so you better believe they're up for believing a few audio nerds have a £19 bit of silicone that can help them! So I say, be open to throwing whatever science and frequency charts you know to be true out the window and if someone asks your opinion on Calmers, just sit it out. I'm in no way saying advocate them, but just sit it out. If the end goal of a health care professional is to achieve as much relief as possible for the individual, then let them take that little £19 pop at believing, without shooting it down. Become ineffectively effective. You never know, it could be the last thing they're willing to try... I can only share my views here, views which have been shaped by my own experiences and I fully appreciate you're a trained professional on this topic. But I think from my rambling, you can tell I've got a pretty strong opinion on Calmers and I'm sharing that strong opinion in the hope even just one more person can get the relief I've got from these little bits of silicone. Peace. 🙂 P.s. anyone who came here thinking about buying Calmers. I say 100% do it! It's not a big gamble and the potential gains from it can be huge.
This meant a lot, reading this. I have horrific tinnitus (plus some audio processing issues) from blasting music with bassy headphones all thru high school and college, and its worrying considering I'm new to my local rock scene and want to approach this with caution so that I can still have fun for many years to come. im absolutely willing to try these out.
I've been wearing these for a few months, and find they improve my overall quality of life. For me they do exactly what they claim to do; make my hearing more manageable. My tinnitus is louder than everything else all the time, and multiple audiologists and ENTs at major hospitals have been no help. When I get information in the 4-8kH range, it tends to "chirp" as the changing external frequencies interact with the fixed tinnitus frequencies. For me it's actually a good thing that this device tends to isolate the tinnitus frequencies as, in so doing, it removes the chirping effect. That is life-altering! I think your descriptions of "more tinnitus" and "less tinnitus" are oversimplified. The tinnitus stays the same; it is the user's perception of it that changes. These little plugs allow me to work around the idiosyncrasies of something very invasive that never goes away. As someone with autism, I cannot disagree more strongly with your dismissive review. Of course the plugs do not "fix" tinnitus, nor do they ever claim to. But they have been instrumental in helping me deal with it.
I find your comment interesting. I first want to say I appreciate Dr's video. Second, I do not experience tinnitus (that I know of, and I'm not even going to go down that rabbit hole). But lastly, and more importantly, on your comment + on the FB post it said "helping some people reduce tinnitus & sound sensitives"... I immediately equated these two things together (as if a person has both "symptoms" ... *parenthesis for not knowing correct wording) were occurring in one person not OR sound sensitives. I know I take things extremely literally, so when I saw that first line of the post I thought oh maybe then it's NOT for me because it's not OR sound sensitivity. I bought these a LONGG time ago but didn't give them the time of day because I didn't start to learn about my sound sensitivities/frequent migraine triggers/Bipolar Disorder +etc... and suspected ASD. Actually taking a step back, after the video AND seeing your post, I realize it's just my thought process/the marketing diction in the post. Currently, my saving grace is BOSE Quitecomfort Earbuds. But, I've decided to clean them and try them out again. I'm genuinely excited that they have been helping you. Cheers. :)
Thank you! I had an audiologist say the same thing. He wrote in his report to my GP that I had reported it gets louder at night. I had to ask him to correct his report to say that it becomes more audible in the quiet of night. My tinnitus does not change either. I notice it more at home in the quiet and less at work where there is consistent noise and distraction. Thank you for your comment.
I don't have tinnitus, but I do have sound sensitivity, and these are fantastic for work. I can still hear everything I need to, which is important in customer service. As you stated in the video, they make sounds softer, which is exactly what I needed them to do. I'm not allowed to wear noise reduction/cancelling headphones at work on days my hearing sensitivity is REALLY bad, so it's wonderful to have a device that helps. If you have heard of any other devices that would help with sound sensitivity and that a company wouldn't say "You're not allowed to wear those." I'd be glad to try it out.
Hi, I don't know if you've seen anything in 8 months, but I've heard about "musician earbuds." But, I have NOT tried it, I got looking on one... but I've seen a lot of late Dxn autistic "life hacks" have talked about it. I've also just briefly heard about "vibes" but IDK anything about it yet. When I was working in my office I used My BOSE QuietComfort earbuds bt they were extremely noticeable. my Little sister has Samsung galaxy (way cheaper) and they were soooo much smaller less noticeable at all and you could reduce the amount of "sound" coming in without music.
You didn't say their reasoning (safety? they just want to bully you?), so I couldn't say what your company might say. If it helps, I wear musician's earplugs from Eargasm and Hearprotek to help with my auditory sensory processing disorder. You can still hear, but the Db are significantly reduced. I just bought Loop Experience, but they haven't arrived yet so I haven't tried them. I hope this helps.
Great video! I've already ordered these things and have been waiting for them to arrive. Besides tinnitus I'm also suffering from hyperacusis, so good to hear they'd do something in that regard.
I have a little tinnitus. But I got mine because I have adhd and busy places like town can be overwhelming due to the noise levels. Wearing headphones etc isn't always convenient, epically if I'm with someone else. So these help to reduce those levels
I remember when these first came out tinnitus wasn't mentioned in the marketing at all. It was intended for sound sensitivity, and was welcomed by people, and parents of children, with sensory processing disorders and autism. They started getting written reviews stating that apparently it had helped the person's tinnitus as well, and it was only after a lot of those came in that they started saying it "may help" with tinnitus. Not sure what they're saying about it today, but yeah, it wasn't designed as a tinnitus treatment, so I'm not surprised it doesn't treat it.
I'm sorry, I had to stop watching at 3 minutes because you're absolutely wrong and I'm surprised as an audiologist that you seemingly don't understand all the different types of tinnitus. I have TTTS, and this product absolutely, without a doubt, not only helps my tinnitus episodes go away faster, it also prevents an episode from happening if I can tell that I'm experiencing some hyperacusis and I can put them in before the spasms start. I don't have the other kind of tinnitus, the one that's more common, so I can't comment about that, but I can tell you these do work for the type of tinnitus that I have.
was looking for a comment like this! ive seen people have varied experiences due to how their tinnitus manifests and the take-away was that it works for some and not for others.
I have migraines and sound sensitivity/sensory processing disorder and also tinnitus. In my perception, Flare Calmer provides very minimal insulation from noise, but the tradeoff is you can still hear very well at most frequencies. With FC, you can still mostly hear, but the sounds seem "softer", it sounds to me like it works by attenuating some harsh frequencies, like hi's and hi-mid's I think (I used to mix audio). I don't perceive that FC has any effect on my tinnitus and I didn't get them for that purpose. I wear them around the house and office and they make some household sounds less grating is all. I wear musician's earplugs from Eargasm and Hearprotek (I'm sure there are other good brands) when I feel I need auditory sensory reduction but I don't want to be deafened, and I feel they really help a lot. Musician's earplugs are my go-to hearing protection for anything that isn't dangerous high pressure sound (use rated protection like shooting plugs or ear muffs for that, follow OSHA recommendations). I also have Loop Quiet, which provide substantial auditory reduction, but I don't wear them in the world because they make me nearly deaf. I wear those on planes; very comfortable to wear for long periods and sleep. I just bought Loop Experience; less sound reduction than Quiet and very good looking, almost fashion accessory good looking, but they haven't arrived yet. I hope this helps someone.
Thanks a lot for sharing your professional opinion. I planned to order these for my father as he suffers from tinnitus. Guess I’ll go search for something else (after jumping to your next video on tinnitus).
I have very loud tinnitus, doesn't matter if I wear anything or not. My main issues is my hyperacusis. High frequency's HURT my ears. I wear these to soften the blow to those particular sounds. I don't expect it to "cure" my tinnitus at all.
Their website states right up front the Calmer earplugs are not designed for tinnitus. I have moderate hearing loss and tinnitus plus sound sensitivity. I just got a pair to see if they do anything to help in general. Will let you know.
Thanks, this is exactly my personal experience with them. They helped a lot to smooth out annoying noise on airplanes, and I still use them for that, but they do nothing for my tinnitus, which is mild but constant in the background. For me, it's worth "numbing" the flight noises at the expense of feeling my tinnitus more. My tinnitus is not triggered by anything, it's there constantly.
Thank you for this. I don’t have tinnitus but I’m autistic and I was very excited about these as they could help with my audio sensitivity... Looks like I’m gonna stick to wearing my earpods for now
It helps people with sound sensitivity, he only said it doesn’t help with tinnitus as claimed. I use them for my hearing sensitivity and it helps me :)
@@mynights85 He did say that, but he also that that ear plugs work similar or better, so earbuds would also have a similar effect and you get some music :)
Tinnitus survivor of 40+ years. Nothing is new including these stupid ear plugs. The best advice I can give is learn to live with and work around this condition. Interestingly, we tinnitus sufferers generally report that it gets worse in times of high stress and when our diets and medications are at their worse. Handing hard earned money over to quack doctors and scam products will only heighten your stress. Peace, calmness and good health 🙏💪👍
My son is 15 yrs old nonverbal autistic, but he also had bone cancer 4 years ago and lost his left leg. The chemo regime he was on, damaged his hearing, and something with his ear hairs... But its hard to get answers from him, because he is nonverbal. I've been eye-balling this to help him. But now it seems that its just fake more than likely. Thanks for this video!
I don't have tinnitus, but I can hear the indoor background "white noise" that has something to do all the electric devices. Most people either never pay attention to this noise or can easily ignore it. Somehow I find it very difficult to ignore the noise and it's annoying. Can you hear the noise I'm talking about? If you can, please let me know if Calmer filters it. Will it increase the risk of getting tinnitus if I wear Calmer or ear plugs often?
I got them two days ago, and I notice that they don't reduce the volume of the sounds but the sharpness. Yesterday I took them off at the end of the day and I immediately started noticing the sounds from the fridge and electricity inside the house, I put them back and I still could hear all those sounds but they were far away and easy to forget about them, which never happens to me
You were saying more sound can help and reduce the perception of tinnitus. So I have moderate to severe hearing loss, would a hearing aid help with the perception of the tinnitus because I'm able to hear more sounds?
Hey etsnet, thank you for the comment. 100% a hearing aid is recommended to provide tinnitus relief during the day when you are wearing the hearing aid. Please try it.
I've had tinnitus for 25yrs, it is always exacerbated by loud sound events in the 3,000-12,000hz range. So, it only makes sense to attenuate this range 5-10db lower at all times. Why? Because it ultimately reduces exacerbation, reduced exacerbation = less noticing of tinnitus, less noticing of tinnitus = brain re-wiring to less tinnitus overall. I don't think calmer is good enough for this but the plausibility is solid. I think eventually more research will come to show general ear protection from loud sound events in particular ranges will lessen tinnitus over time.
Great video! ❤ Nice with a professional perspective to clear up the snake oil. I have ASD (including hypersensitivity to many sounds) and tinnitus. I bought the Calmer Pro because I was desperate to get less overstimulated, and they don't help my tinnitus. I think they somewhat reduce my noise-induced stress, but I'm not sure it isn't a placebo effect, since they were quite expensive so I want them to work. I also use a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 over-ear noise-cancelling headphones that I wear without hearing music in them, and they help with the loud noises a lot, but I did notice my tinnitus is much worse wearing them, so it was so interesting to hear your explanation about tinnitus. I think I'll try and wear them while listening to quiet sounds or noises and see if that's more of a 'best of both worlds'.

I have been using ear plus for the last month and a half. Finally get to see an ENT next week. But the Hyperacusis has started to get better with training my ears. I picked these up to replace the ear plugs. I have been trying hard to get away from the ear plugs because I just want to hear normal again. I would say that the flare Calmer helps with calming the hurtful noises for my Hyperacusis. I try not to have them in my ears all the time just only when I am in a places where normal noises are loud and hurt my ears. Hopefully I can progress away from these.
At around 4:40 you say you were hopeful they might have some form of electrical component that might help. Why were you hopeful when the manufacturer clearly explains their design and there no suggestion of ant electrical component?
Thank you for sharing such a comprehensive review! I was super curious and needed to try it for myself. I completely agree with you: it definitely doesn't help with tinnitus at all. 😂 Bummer, eh. Before I was in an auto collision, I never had tinnitus, however, I always had sensitivity to sound. Even as a child, I found it difficult to sleep because I could hear the refrigerator buzzing upstairs, the toilet flushing from the floor below me, the wind chimes from our neighbours' backyards clanking, cars from the nearby streets whooshing by, etc. Since 2015, I've been on and off migraine/cluster headache medications, but I would say that this helps reduce the intensity or frequency of those migraines/cluster headaches. So for me, I'd say it's worth the price to switch from being chemically dependent on 3 different medications to having something that physically helps. But this may not be a symptom other tinnitus sufferers have. :/
my cure is a walk in the country with my dog - focus on the sounds of nature - it is a relief for the hour I am out there ...also helps if you imagine the sound is just a sound of your body and try to associate the sound with a happy memories - it helps. by the way i did try the Calmers - ended up giving up ...
Hi Ben! Would you recommend hyperacusis sufferers wear them constantly outside? Or, as for actual earplugs, only in presence of very bothersome sounds? Thanks!
Thats a very interesting and well explained video. My problem is with high pitches, like kids screeching/screaming or vehicles breaking. If I understood correctly that is hyperacusis... Do you find this product useful for people with such issues? Thank you so much in advance!
Great review, I bought them myself for Tinnitus and didn't make any difference after a couple of weeks wearing them. When I got them I couldn't understand how plastic plugs could help, tried with no results.
I just bought these on amazon because I have sensory processing issues due to my Autism and I need some sort of ear protection to reduce the amount of auditory input coming in while I'm at work (I work at a grocery store)
Did they work? I work in a school cafeteria. when I am on the register, the loud noises from the kids behind me makes it hard for me to hear, understand or process the child in front of me.
I am experiencing sound sensitivity but have had tinnitus since 2015, and have been putting cotton wool in my ear, should I continue with cotton wool or ear plugs?
As someone who suffers from nearly constant migraines I’m curious if this would help with my sound sensitivity. The higher sounds hurt the most and I’ve heard that this may help. I thought their claim on tinnitus was a stretch to be sure but my issue is different. Softer sound may allow me to be more functional.
go for it for $30.. all worth a try. this doc says it may help with sound sensitivity, and 'makes the world softer'.. that's what we want! if he was after a product with an internal speaker, they're available. go for it!
Hi, i just have a question. What about in my case that i have both tinnitus and hyperacusis? Will they work? And in my case the hyperacusis does not make worse my tinnitus. And could i use them only when i have to assist loud events? Thanks for the video
I have mild tinitus though i didnt get tested for it. But i will buy a device like this. Im thinking about Loop. Not to help me making tinitus less, but to prevent making it worse when i go to places where is lots of sounds/loud noises/music. Though im glad to read that for some people this Calmer works against tinitus. Have a nice evening
I just received my pair of Calmers and I appreciate your review. I have chronic and severe tinnitus and I'm just hoping for some sort or relief. Do you think using these devices could make tinnitus worse? Thank you for your time!
If you hum at the same pitch as your tinnitus it helps to stop it. I get it a lot at different pitches and humming works almost all the time. Hope that is some help to you.
Thanks .. i have tinnitus and hyperacusis .. actually i am a singer .. with these condition i try to do my singing practice with ear plugs on but what i find sometimes with plugs i feel my sound too much or feel like a booming/distorted uncomfortable effect ... Please share your thoughts on below two points : do you think this can even increase my hearing loss or tinnitus/hyperacusis condition ? will flare calmer be better than ear plugs for my situation (like using it while i am singing) ?

What would you recommend for sound sensitivity? Looking for affordable and comfortable. I can’t hear people in crowded places like bars or clubs at all

I'm still a bit confused. I do have mild tinnitus, which is a random high pitch ringing, but that only lasts a few seconds and doesn't bother me much. However I'm very sensitive to high pitched music, such as in church where it's more like opera music, and even some meditations which are supposed to calm me, but I can't really handle. And just struggle with noise in crowds as well so I try to avoid those situations (super sensitive due to ADHD and ASD sensory issues). I was trying to compare this to the Loop Quiet 2. So it sounds like this will help, as long as I'm not using it for tinnitus, is that correct? Again my goal is so I don't have to avoid church and crowds?
I think it may not help with tinnitus but if there's external high pitch sound, this thing might help make the external sound less obvious. I have tinnitus, and I will be nervous if I hear any external high pitch noise.

I have tinnitus, which i can lesson by. a. Holding my nose, and blowing. The air pressure perhaps stops the eardrum vibrating, so it stop sending the broken message to my brain. b. When i stick something right down my ear, and it touches the ear drum. Dangerous and stupid. Sure. But it does something. I wonder if the calmer might be helping some people with their Tinnitus because the design is such that they can sometimes slip in so far as to be touching the ear drum? For some people this would lesson their tinnitus. Be really dangerous too - but at least it provides a possible explanation?
Thanks for the review. I am always willing to try something but your science makes sense and dissuaded me from having another product sit in my drawer.
No, using ear protection is crucial, especially for musicians in loud environments. However, in environments that aren't excessively loud, wearing earplugs can sometimes make tinnitus sound louder due to occlusion (plugging up the ear).
Hi i am from.india i have nerve hypercusis and tinittus can i order ear calmer it will help.in horn sounds or the habit of calmer will.make my hypercusis wrk plz rply can we wear it whole life can we.wear it in nerve hypercusis
Yes, it can indeed help reduce the exposure to loud noises, especially in environments like schools where there may be constant noise from crowds and activities.

I have sensory overload and i am trying to figure out how to deal with it since i have loud neighbors above me so thumping noises are bothersome as well as people rattling bags for instance. I cut the cords off an old set of earbuds so i wear those or over the head headphones with no music just to muffle noises. I am nervous that the flare audio or loops will lead to tinnitis. I also considered silicon putty but now i am worried about getting the earwax effect which could lead to tinnitis. Someone had said that after using silicon earplugs they developped tinnitis. So i am wary of trying them even though they have a whole so they should not caise the earwax effect.
Does anyone know if Calmer Pro or Calmer night cuts sudden noise? For example, if an upstairs neighbour drops something on the floor, does Calmer prevent this irritable sound? I really need this info to buy it.
Hi doctor, I have Hyperacusis and I sometimes have ringing in my ears. I wear a cotton ball in my ear 24*7 because everyday noises are very painful. Will this help me out?
I'm not a doctor but I'm very sensitive to high-pitched sounds and have occasional intermittent tinnitus from inflammation. I've found that Calmer lets me spend time with my roommates in the living room, listen to music I could never handle without Calmer, and relax easier when I get intermittent tinnitus, which helps it go away quicker for me.
@@EmeraldSky33 Wow, thanks for your reply, I wanted to buy calmer but wanted a confirmation before buying because shipping it to my country is quite expensive 😅. Ill get it then.
Exactly. They won't help Tinnitus but they can help Hyperacusis / noise sensitivity. Mine are arriving in 10 minutes from amazon and I'll try them for my Hyperacusis. PS they are a British company, not European! The UK left Europe. 😔
@@Hew.Jarsol :) But yeah, from an online shipping perspective it might be different for the US. It's definitely different in Europe, ordering from the UK now. So much so that I don't do it honestly.
@@Hew.Jarsol Don't think so. Well, I'm not entirely sure what that entails. I do however have some kind of stress induced tinitus and I'm absolutely sensitive to noises when I'm stressed as well. I was thinking of getting something like this for those times. I can't block out all sounds since I have kids, but I'd like the sound to be less harsh sometimes. Have you tried them?
Hi i am from India plz help me i have senstivity to sound nd senstivity to touch also I need clamer of smaller size as my ears are very small to plz share me link aur tell me how can u find small size that fit easily i am very thankful to u

I'm at 2 minutes and i need to explain some people's tinnitus. It is the sound my brain makes. A "dead" room would make it louder. No way that something out of the brain could attenuate tinnitus! On the other side i'm an Asperger so it CAN help to reduce stimiluses and so maybe brain activity. I ordered a pair last week and i can't wait to soften my surroundings but all the trucks are stuck in Great Britain on their way to the modern human world (EU:) I wonder if it is of any use as a soundengineer. Greatings from the Netherlands. Oh i see, this is your explanation too, i'm always to quick with responding lol...

I think marketing it as a tinnitus relief probably was a bad idea, what it does do is make tinny sounds (like those annoying people that play their phones out loud on public transport 🙄) a bit more bearable. It just changes the timbre of the incoming sound. It doesn't do anything for my tinnitus which comes from inside.
It was not marketed for tinnitus. There's even a disclaimer that it isnt a solution for tinnitus. Its just that a lot of people with tinnitus says how it helped them and recommended it to other people. I bought this out of recommendation for someone with tinnitus. It works for my sound sensitivity, but i guess thats why.
They've removed the claim that they help with tinnitus and are now claiming that they help with "sound sensitivities". I would highly suggest not buying any product from this company.
Thanks for sharing this information... i almost buy this thing but because of your review i cancel it... i already live with tinnitus for more than 1 year now... now i have gone to "just go with it" situation...
What if you have tinnitus and sensitivity? Im neuro spicy and have a daughter who is much more neuro spicy. I have a lot of siund sensitivity to her. She makes a lot of really high pitched squealing sounds. I have to wear earbuds A LOT. Unfortunately ive had tinnitus since my childhood, and its almost become a background noise, I'm just use to it. It really bothers me when i have migraines though!
I tried these for misophonia. There are quiet and loud noises in my office that are very triggering for me. The difference with these headphones was negligible. I could still hear all the noises I did not want to hear. The sound wasn’t even muffled slightly. All these people saying it changed their life is really baffling to me. Just know that the difference in noise level could be barely noticeable at all and for the price of these it may be worth it to just try some more inexpensive products first.
Soooooo you didn't actually do an experiment with people who have tinnitus. You just expressed a bunch of theory about why it shouldn't work. Not very helpful 'doctor'.

My sound sensitivity was getting worse I couldn't leave home without carrying noise cancelling headphones. When I tried Calmer I literally did tear up, just being able to go out without headphones like a normal person. I haven't done that in years.
Hey Wilo's Variety Show, thank you for the comment. They can be very useful for hyperacusis and sound sensitivity conditions. Be well.
@@treblehealth thanks it's been quite a journey dealing with this condition while living in NYC.
Im still using my headphones (with music on) to cancel out noises and the outside world. Thinking of making the same step as you did. Would you recommend it?
Which noise cancelling headphones 🎧 you're using?
I’m excited to try them
I have the Flare Earshade+, sleeeps glow, and a set of calmer & calmer nights. Flare Audio never initially claimed calmers helped with tinnitus. Several customers wrote them and said it helped. After a while, they researched and found that Calmer's helped some people with tinnitus. While I respect your opinion, I have twisted ear canals with mild tinnitus and someone I know has severe tinnitus and Calmer's along with their other products help greatly.
Thanks for the comment. Valuable perspective!
I have not seen any where that those are made to provide relief for Tinitus sufferers. It is clearly stated that it is to provide relief to people that suffers from hyper sensitivity to external sounds, people with anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, autism and misophonia. I also see a lot of reviews with people saying those do not work as they do not reduce sounds and noises, again, those are not normal earbuds, those are earbuds to reduce high pitch sounds for people with hyper sensitivity, so they can put them on and go on with their normal life.
Flare Audio never claimed that this product was specifically for Tinnitus, Only that they have had customers say that calmer has helped with their tinnitus. Flare Audio is still doing research on why they think calmer is helping some people. no this might not be a cure but why would tell someone not to try something if it helps them even a little bit, so they don't work for you what you spent $20
He's a hearing Doctor so I have no clue why he would want to discourage a $20 device and have people come to his office instead. No clue. 😂😂😂
I love them. Works really well tbh. Thought I was going crazy, I have less anxiety.
Stumbled across these recently. I have a lot of sensitivity to sensory overload. Would you say these help with that?
yep me too really good
@@rayn2817 I’ve gotten the Calmer Night’s recently and although the normal ones are great, the Night ones are much softer silicone and seem to dampen out a slightly wider range of frequencies. The headphones I have block out too much but these are just 🤌 **chef kiss** perfect.
I really hope it works for me
Less stress because the noise sensitivity sounds wonderful
personally i'm autistic and i love them, they really help with my sound sensitivity without isolating me from others (i'm still able to clearly hear what they're saying), and my voice remains the same unlike with regular earplugs
Hello, does it help you with high impact sounds? like sudden screams
Which ones do u have.. idk which one to pick...
As someone who has misophonia, I bought the normal ones and they're working actually great, even though I have really extreme misophonia. They're kind cool!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing that, Kristy!
I do to 💚 wish more people could understand us
@@toniariana3017 yeah definitely, my dad gets mad at me for hating noises. Mostly because he assumes they are personal
@@kristy848 same for some reason family bothers me most, but visual things also bother me. It's really frustrating because I know people feel like they're on egg shells around me... You should tell him that scientist have discovered a few things about misaphonia: we typically have larger amygdalas, we have more neural connectivity to our auditory cortex, and our brains process normal sounds in the fight or fight region (again the amygdala). It's not something were just all annoyed by.
I'm going to try these out. I'm also very sensitive, a 9/10 on the miso scale and having Avery hard time with dogs barking.
Thanks for the review! I posted my opinion on their facebook page. They blocked me from posting. Says everything.
Hey ajhsom, thank you for the comment. Well that's not a good sign....your comments are welcome here :)
Thanks for this! I was considering getting some because the reviews are so consistently glowing, but if that's because they delete negative reviews I'll save my cash
Without proof you could be making it uo
Hi Ben,
I feel you're putting a blanked "no for tinnitus" over the Calmers, kind of like your video is just shy of being titled 'Calmers Debunked', which I don't really think is a fair assessment, even by your own words... If people have tinnitus with a hyperacusis kicker and you agree yourself that a) hyperacusis can trigger peoples tinnitus and b) hyperacusis should be approached by isolating yourself from the sounds that trigger it and then by trying to reduce the degree of isolation to shift the auditory brain back into a "normal" state, then I'd like to just briefly highlight my journey...
I played in touring bands for years with no ear protection, *ironically inserts metal horns hand gesture*. I had BAD tinnitus! To the point I started to ponder on my long-term mental resistance to it... I tried everything, but to no avail. I started wearing ear plugs to any events, any social gatherings and even driving. I hated how much they isolated me with my tinnitus and had this constant battle of deciding between being stuck isolated with my real-time tinnitus and protecting my ears in the long term from the tinnitus becoming worse... I got the Flair Calmers and -- for me -- they strike the perfect balance of a little bit of protection and not being isolated with the tinnitus. I also felt they came along at the perfect time in the taper down from pretty heavy isolation to a milder balance - almost like a slightly hollowed out earplug was the natural next step... I now hardly wear any ear protection and pretty much don't notice any ringing in my ears unless I've taken an unexpected shot in the ear. All from a £19 roll of the dice! Like I mentioned, by your own words, you've stated Calmer could help hyperacusis, which can trigger tinnitus. Thus, Calmers can indirectly have a positive impact on tinnitus. It may be a knock-on effect, but you will know yourself ANY effect -- especially a positive one -- can be life saving for someone really suffering.
I understand that specialists in their specific fields have a duty to call out what is perceived as junk science, but tinnitus is in many ways a very unique curse and I feel due to it's very subjective nature, any treatment should be approached with an open mind and as dynamically as possible. So, with that in mind, the placebo effect can be a powerful treatment that can give some life saving relief to someone in a bad way - people have been throwing 10% of their income at an invisable man in the sky for millenia in the hopes of cures for incurable illnesses, so you better believe they're up for believing a few audio nerds have a £19 bit of silicone that can help them! So I say, be open to throwing whatever science and frequency charts you know to be true out the window and if someone asks your opinion on Calmers, just sit it out. I'm in no way saying advocate them, but just sit it out.
If the end goal of a health care professional is to achieve as much relief as possible for the individual, then let them take that little £19 pop at believing, without shooting it down. Become ineffectively effective. You never know, it could be the last thing they're willing to try...
I can only share my views here, views which have been shaped by my own experiences and I fully appreciate you're a trained professional on this topic. But I think from my rambling, you can tell I've got a pretty strong opinion on Calmers and I'm sharing that strong opinion in the hope even just one more person can get the relief I've got from these little bits of silicone.
Peace. 🙂
P.s. anyone who came here thinking about buying Calmers. I say 100% do it! It's not a big gamble and the potential gains from it can be huge.
This meant a lot, reading this. I have horrific tinnitus (plus some audio processing issues) from blasting music with bassy headphones all thru high school and college, and its worrying considering I'm new to my local rock scene and want to approach this with caution so that I can still have fun for many years to come. im absolutely willing to try these out.
I've been wearing these for a few months, and find they improve my overall quality of life. For me they do exactly what they claim to do; make my hearing more manageable. My tinnitus is louder than everything else all the time, and multiple audiologists and ENTs at major hospitals have been no help. When I get information in the 4-8kH range, it tends to "chirp" as the changing external frequencies interact with the fixed tinnitus frequencies. For me it's actually a good thing that this device tends to isolate the tinnitus frequencies as, in so doing, it removes the chirping effect. That is life-altering! I think your descriptions of "more tinnitus" and "less tinnitus" are oversimplified. The tinnitus stays the same; it is the user's perception of it that changes. These little plugs allow me to work around the idiosyncrasies of something very invasive that never goes away. As someone with autism, I cannot disagree more strongly with your dismissive review. Of course the plugs do not "fix" tinnitus, nor do they ever claim to. But they have been instrumental in helping me deal with it.
I find your comment interesting. I first want to say I appreciate Dr's video. Second, I do not experience tinnitus (that I know of, and I'm not even going to go down that rabbit hole). But lastly, and more importantly, on your comment + on the FB post it said "helping some people reduce tinnitus & sound sensitives"... I immediately equated these two things together (as if a person has both "symptoms" ... *parenthesis for not knowing correct wording) were occurring in one person not OR sound sensitives. I know I take things extremely literally, so when I saw that first line of the post I thought oh maybe then it's NOT for me because it's not OR sound sensitivity. I bought these a LONGG time ago but didn't give them the time of day because I didn't start to learn about my sound sensitivities/frequent migraine triggers/Bipolar Disorder +etc... and suspected ASD. Actually taking a step back, after the video AND seeing your post, I realize it's just my thought process/the marketing diction in the post. Currently, my saving grace is BOSE Quitecomfort Earbuds. But, I've decided to clean them and try them out again. I'm genuinely excited that they have been helping you. Cheers. :)
Thank you! I had an audiologist say the same thing. He wrote in his report to my GP that I had reported it gets louder at night. I had to ask him to correct his report to say that it becomes more audible in the quiet of night. My tinnitus does not change either. I notice it more at home in the quiet and less at work where there is consistent noise and distraction. Thank you for your comment.
I don't have tinnitus, but I do have sound sensitivity, and these are fantastic for work. I can still hear everything I need to, which is important in customer service. As you stated in the video, they make sounds softer, which is exactly what I needed them to do. I'm not allowed to wear noise reduction/cancelling headphones at work on days my hearing sensitivity is REALLY bad, so it's wonderful to have a device that helps. If you have heard of any other devices that would help with sound sensitivity and that a company wouldn't say "You're not allowed to wear those." I'd be glad to try it out.
Loop they have them on Amazon too
Hi, I don't know if you've seen anything in 8 months, but I've heard about "musician earbuds." But, I have NOT tried it, I got looking on one... but I've seen a lot of late Dxn autistic "life hacks" have talked about it. I've also just briefly heard about "vibes" but IDK anything about it yet. When I was working in my office I used My BOSE QuietComfort earbuds bt they were extremely noticeable. my Little sister has Samsung galaxy (way cheaper) and they were soooo much smaller less noticeable at all and you could reduce the amount of "sound" coming in without music.
You didn't say their reasoning (safety? they just want to bully you?), so I couldn't say what your company might say. If it helps, I wear musician's earplugs from Eargasm and Hearprotek to help with my auditory sensory processing disorder. You can still hear, but the Db are significantly reduced. I just bought Loop Experience, but they haven't arrived yet so I haven't tried them. I hope this helps.
Great video! I've already ordered these things and have been waiting for them to arrive. Besides tinnitus I'm also suffering from hyperacusis, so good to hear they'd do something in that regard.
Hey ikoikoki, thank you for the comment. We hope you enjoy exploring our other videos.
Have they helped your tinittus ??
I have a little tinnitus. But I got mine because I have adhd and busy places like town can be overwhelming due to the noise levels. Wearing headphones etc isn't always convenient, epically if I'm with someone else. So these help to reduce those levels
Super interesting about ADHD. I might give them a go too then. Thanks!!
I remember when these first came out tinnitus wasn't mentioned in the marketing at all. It was intended for sound sensitivity, and was welcomed by people, and parents of children, with sensory processing disorders and autism. They started getting written reviews stating that apparently it had helped the person's tinnitus as well, and it was only after a lot of those came in that they started saying it "may help" with tinnitus. Not sure what they're saying about it today, but yeah, it wasn't designed as a tinnitus treatment, so I'm not surprised it doesn't treat it.
I'm sorry, I had to stop watching at 3 minutes because you're absolutely wrong and I'm surprised as an audiologist that you seemingly don't understand all the different types of tinnitus. I have TTTS, and this product absolutely, without a doubt, not only helps my tinnitus episodes go away faster, it also prevents an episode from happening if I can tell that I'm experiencing some hyperacusis and I can put them in before the spasms start. I don't have the other kind of tinnitus, the one that's more common, so I can't comment about that, but I can tell you these do work for the type of tinnitus that I have.
was looking for a comment like this! ive seen people have varied experiences due to how their tinnitus manifests and the take-away was that it works for some and not for others.
Very interesting discussion. thanks so much. I was pleased to “hear” you discussing it. I’ll be saving my money on this gizmo.
Hey Joe Cannon, Glad you don't have to waste your money and time :)
I have migraines and sound sensitivity/sensory processing disorder and also tinnitus. In my perception, Flare Calmer provides very minimal insulation from noise, but the tradeoff is you can still hear very well at most frequencies. With FC, you can still mostly hear, but the sounds seem "softer", it sounds to me like it works by attenuating some harsh frequencies, like hi's and hi-mid's I think (I used to mix audio). I don't perceive that FC has any effect on my tinnitus and I didn't get them for that purpose. I wear them around the house and office and they make some household sounds less grating is all.
I wear musician's earplugs from Eargasm and Hearprotek (I'm sure there are other good brands) when I feel I need auditory sensory reduction but I don't want to be deafened, and I feel they really help a lot. Musician's earplugs are my go-to hearing protection for anything that isn't dangerous high pressure sound (use rated protection like shooting plugs or ear muffs for that, follow OSHA recommendations).
I also have Loop Quiet, which provide substantial auditory reduction, but I don't wear them in the world because they make me nearly deaf. I wear those on planes; very comfortable to wear for long periods and sleep. I just bought Loop Experience; less sound reduction than Quiet and very good looking, almost fashion accessory good looking, but they haven't arrived yet. I hope this helps someone.
Thanks a lot for sharing your professional opinion. I planned to order these for my father as he suffers from tinnitus. Guess I’ll go search for something else (after jumping to your next video on tinnitus).
I have very loud tinnitus, doesn't matter if I wear anything or not. My main issues is my hyperacusis. High frequency's HURT my ears. I wear these to soften the blow to those particular sounds. I don't expect it to "cure" my tinnitus at all.
Thank you for this review. I'm a nurse and I have tinnitus and I'am totaly agree with you: less sound more tinnitus.
Hey Amílcar F., thank you for the comment. We hope you enjoy exploring our other videos.
Weird…. I don’t think I’ve ever heard tinnitus pronounced that way. Thanks for this review!!
It's the correct pronunciation. T-nye-tus is incorrect as it's not inflammation.
Their website states right up front the Calmer earplugs are not designed for tinnitus. I have moderate hearing loss and tinnitus plus sound sensitivity. I just got a pair to see if they do anything to help in general. Will let you know.
Thanks, this is exactly my personal experience with them. They helped a lot to smooth out annoying noise on airplanes, and I still use them for that, but they do nothing for my tinnitus, which is mild but constant in the background. For me, it's worth "numbing" the flight noises at the expense of feeling my tinnitus more. My tinnitus is not triggered by anything, it's there constantly.
Thank you for this. I don’t have tinnitus but I’m autistic and I was very excited about these as they could help with my audio sensitivity... Looks like I’m gonna stick to wearing my earpods for now
his whole review says it might help for people like you, maybe rewatch the video?
It helps people with sound sensitivity, he only said it doesn’t help with tinnitus as claimed. I use them for my hearing sensitivity and it helps me :)
@@mynights85 He did say that, but he also that that ear plugs work similar or better, so earbuds would also have a similar effect and you get some music :)
Tinnitus survivor of 40+ years. Nothing is new including these stupid ear plugs. The best advice I can give is learn to live with and work around this condition. Interestingly, we tinnitus sufferers generally report that it gets worse in times of high stress and when our diets and medications are at their worse. Handing hard earned money over to quack doctors and scam products will only heighten your stress. Peace, calmness and good health 🙏💪👍
This isnt a scam product, neither was it marketed for tinnitus. If you spent money on this for tinnitus, its largely your fault. 😅
My son is 15 yrs old nonverbal autistic, but he also had bone cancer 4 years ago and lost his left leg. The chemo regime he was on, damaged his hearing, and something with his ear hairs... But its hard to get answers from him, because he is nonverbal. I've been eye-balling this to help him. But now it seems that its just fake more than likely. Thanks for this video!
Hey Rebecca C., thank you for the comment. We hope you enjoy exploring our other videos.
I don't have tinnitus, but I can hear the indoor background "white noise" that has something to do all the electric devices. Most people either never pay attention to this noise or can easily ignore it. Somehow I find it very difficult to ignore the noise and it's annoying. Can you hear the noise I'm talking about? If you can, please let me know if Calmer filters it. Will it increase the risk of getting tinnitus if I wear Calmer or ear plugs often?
I got them two days ago, and I notice that they don't reduce the volume of the sounds but the sharpness. Yesterday I took them off at the end of the day and I immediately started noticing the sounds from the fridge and electricity inside the house, I put them back and I still could hear all those sounds but they were far away and easy to forget about them, which never happens to me
You were saying more sound can help and reduce the perception of tinnitus. So I have moderate to severe hearing loss, would a hearing aid help with the perception of the tinnitus because I'm able to hear more sounds?
Hey etsnet, thank you for the comment. 100% a hearing aid is recommended to provide tinnitus relief during the day when you are wearing the hearing aid. Please try it.
THANK YOUUUUUU!!!
Finally an honest non-sponsored review of this product.
You're welcome, Luz! I'm glad it was helpful :)
Would you trust a meat eater to review a vegan product or vice versa even?
I've had tinnitus for 25yrs, it is always exacerbated by loud sound events in the 3,000-12,000hz range. So, it only makes sense to attenuate this range 5-10db lower at all times. Why? Because it ultimately reduces exacerbation, reduced exacerbation = less noticing of tinnitus, less noticing of tinnitus = brain re-wiring to less tinnitus overall. I don't think calmer is good enough for this but the plausibility is solid. I think eventually more research will come to show general ear protection from loud sound events in particular ranges will lessen tinnitus over time.
Great video! ❤ Nice with a professional perspective to clear up the snake oil. I have ASD (including hypersensitivity to many sounds) and tinnitus. I bought the Calmer Pro because I was desperate to get less overstimulated, and they don't help my tinnitus. I think they somewhat reduce my noise-induced stress, but I'm not sure it isn't a placebo effect, since they were quite expensive so I want them to work. I also use a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 over-ear noise-cancelling headphones that I wear without hearing music in them, and they help with the loud noises a lot, but I did notice my tinnitus is much worse wearing them, so it was so interesting to hear your explanation about tinnitus. I think I'll try and wear them while listening to quiet sounds or noises and see if that's more of a 'best of both worlds'.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Finding what works best for you can be a process, and it's important to pay attention to how your body responds. If you ever want more guidance or support, feel free to reach out.
I have been using ear plus for the last month and a half. Finally get to see an ENT next week. But the Hyperacusis has started to get better with training my ears. I picked these up to replace the ear plugs. I have been trying hard to get away from the ear plugs because I just want to hear normal again. I would say that the flare Calmer helps with calming the hurtful noises for my Hyperacusis. I try not to have them in my ears all the time just only when I am in a places where normal noises are loud and hurt my ears. Hopefully I can progress away from these.
At around 4:40 you say you were hopeful they might have some form of electrical component that might help. Why were you hopeful when the manufacturer clearly explains their design and there no suggestion of ant electrical component?
I didn't do a full review of it until I bought it.
Thank you!
you're welcome!
Thank you for sharing such a comprehensive review! I was super curious and needed to try it for myself. I completely agree with you: it definitely doesn't help with tinnitus at all. 😂 Bummer, eh.
Before I was in an auto collision, I never had tinnitus, however, I always had sensitivity to sound. Even as a child, I found it difficult to sleep because I could hear the refrigerator buzzing upstairs, the toilet flushing from the floor below me, the wind chimes from our neighbours' backyards clanking, cars from the nearby streets whooshing by, etc. Since 2015, I've been on and off migraine/cluster headache medications, but I would say that this helps reduce the intensity or frequency of those migraines/cluster headaches. So for me, I'd say it's worth the price to switch from being chemically dependent on 3 different medications to having something that physically helps. But this may not be a symptom other tinnitus sufferers have. :/
Underrated channel. Great work.
my cure is a walk in the country with my dog - focus on the sounds of nature - it is a relief for the hour I am out there ...also helps if you imagine the sound is just a sound of your body and try to associate the sound with a happy memories - it helps. by the way i did try the Calmers - ended up giving up ...
Very helpful I was thinking about buying them , you saved me wasting my money thank you. Any updates on OTO 313, Lenire and Susan shore devices?
Hey Fareha Zafar, thank you for the comment. No major updates on those right now but I will try to cover them when they come up.
Hi Ben! Would you recommend hyperacusis sufferers wear them constantly outside? Or, as for actual earplugs, only in presence of very bothersome sounds? Thanks!
I also have hyperacusis too. Any help?
Thats a very interesting and well explained video.
My problem is with high pitches, like kids screeching/screaming or vehicles breaking. If I understood correctly that is hyperacusis...
Do you find this product useful for people with such issues?
Thank you so much in advance!
I believe in the video he does say that, but I’m curious if there’s any cheaper ones out there
@@VT-vy9jv Ive ordered that. After I test it I can share here how it works for me :)
@@ricardobejeraste3569 did they work for you?
@@VT-vy9jv Hi, have you found a cheaper alternative for these buds? I'm not yet willing to spend a fortune on these things
Great review, I bought them myself for Tinnitus and didn't make any difference after a couple of weeks wearing them. When I got them I couldn't understand how plastic plugs could help, tried with no results.
Hey Alan Jones, that is exactly how I felt.
They aren't plastic, they are silicone.
R u selling for 5$
I just bought these on amazon because I have sensory processing issues due to my Autism and I need some sort of ear protection to reduce the amount of auditory input coming in while I'm at work (I work at a grocery store)
Did they work? I work in a school cafeteria. when I am on the register, the loud noises from the kids behind me makes it hard for me to hear, understand or process the child in front of me.
I am experiencing sound sensitivity but have had tinnitus since 2015, and have been putting cotton wool in my ear, should I continue with cotton wool or ear plugs?
As someone who suffers from nearly constant migraines I’m curious if this would help with my sound sensitivity. The higher sounds hurt the most and I’ve heard that this may help. I thought their claim on tinnitus was a stretch to be sure but my issue is different. Softer sound may allow me to be more functional.
I'd like to know this as well!
go for it for $30.. all worth a try. this doc says it may help with sound sensitivity, and 'makes the world softer'.. that's what we want!
if he was after a product with an internal speaker, they're available. go for it!
They specifically attenuate higher frequencies, so if that's what triggers you it may well help.
The next video link isn't showing can you drop the link here please? :)
Hi, i just have a question. What about in my case that i have both tinnitus and hyperacusis? Will they work? And in my case the hyperacusis does not make worse my tinnitus. And could i use them only when i have to assist loud events? Thanks for the video
You can try standard reusable ear plugs in loud events, or maybe flare would be helpful too
@@treblehealth thanks for the answer. Double like 👍 👍 also thanks for the material on your channel
I have mild tinitus though i didnt get tested for it. But i will buy a device like this. Im thinking about Loop. Not to help me making tinitus less, but to prevent making it worse when i go to places where is lots of sounds/loud noises/music. Though im glad to read that for some people this Calmer works against tinitus. Have a nice evening
Any device for hyperacusis
The company CLEARLY do not claim that these help tinnitus. Pointless video
Plz recommend me best noise cancelling headphones?
I just received my pair of Calmers and I appreciate your review. I have chronic and severe tinnitus and I'm just hoping for some sort or relief. Do you think using these devices could make tinnitus worse? Thank you for your time!
They could act as a reduced strength ear plug and make tinnitus louder when wearing them.
If you hum at the same pitch as your tinnitus it helps to stop it. I get it a lot at different pitches and humming works almost all the time. Hope that is some help to you.
@@angelicapain5331 you can't hum at the same pitch if it's very high frequency
Thanks .. i have tinnitus and hyperacusis .. actually i am a singer .. with these condition i try to do my singing practice with ear plugs on but what i find sometimes with plugs i feel my sound too much or feel like a booming/distorted uncomfortable effect ...
Please share your thoughts on below two points :
do you think this can even increase my hearing loss or tinnitus/hyperacusis condition ?
will flare calmer be better than ear plugs for my situation (like using it while i am singing) ?
Hey Ravneet you asked some good personalized questions here. My answer depends on more information that I do not yet know about your history. Feel free to contact our team via email and we can do our best to help you. Our email is contact@treblehealth.com
What would you recommend for sound sensitivity? Looking for affordable and comfortable. I can’t hear people in crowded places like bars or clubs at all
I got the Calmer Night’s recently (softer silicone, I wear them during the day) and they’ve been stupendous for taking away harsh background noise, helping me focus more on the people closer to me.
Hi, I've a question.
Does it help for ppl having weak hearing or low ?
Hi Jaafar, thank you for asking. This device could help. It depends on more information that we do not yet know about your history. Feel free to contact our team at Treble Health and we can do our best to help you.
I used them didnt help but when you suffer from this disorder will try and beleive anything probs work for hypercusis xxx
I agree.
I'm still a bit confused. I do have mild tinnitus, which is a random high pitch ringing, but that only lasts a few seconds and doesn't bother me much. However I'm very sensitive to high pitched music, such as in church where it's more like opera music, and even some meditations which are supposed to calm me, but I can't really handle. And just struggle with noise in crowds as well so I try to avoid those situations (super sensitive due to ADHD and ASD sensory issues). I was trying to compare this to the Loop Quiet 2. So it sounds like this will help, as long as I'm not using it for tinnitus, is that correct? Again my goal is so I don't have to avoid church and crowds?
thanks for the review and info, do u think it is good for a person with no serious tinnitus but with mild and moderate hearing loss?
No, I wouldn't recommend it for hearing loss.
I think it may not help with tinnitus but if there's external high pitch sound, this thing might help make the external sound less obvious. I have tinnitus, and I will be nervous if I hear any external high pitch noise.
Im sorry but why would you put a tiny piece of silicone in your ear and expect it to magically conduct electricity and emit sound.....
Do you think these would help people with kids ?
Hi Dhaval, thank you for asking. This device could help. It depends on more information that we do not yet know about their history. At Treble Health, we offer free consultations via telehealth. We are accepting new patients and would gladly consider you or them as a new client. Feel free to contact our team at Treble Health to sign up for an appointment.
Wish I had seen this review before I bought them. They definitely do not help. Don't waste your money.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully this helps others.
I have tinnitus, which i can lesson by.
a. Holding my nose, and blowing. The air pressure perhaps stops the eardrum vibrating, so it stop sending the broken message to my brain.
b. When i stick something right down my ear, and it touches the ear drum. Dangerous and stupid. Sure. But it does something.
I wonder if the calmer might be helping some people with their Tinnitus because the design is such that they can sometimes slip in so far as to be touching the ear drum? For some people this would lesson their tinnitus. Be really dangerous too - but at least it provides a possible explanation?
Thanks for the review. I am always willing to try something but your science makes sense and dissuaded me from having another product sit in my drawer.
Glad to hear it, Dave!
so if I'm hearing you right that means being a musician using any ear protection will just cause more tinnitus ???
No, using ear protection is crucial, especially for musicians in loud environments. However, in environments that aren't excessively loud, wearing earplugs can sometimes make tinnitus sound louder due to occlusion (plugging up the ear).
I always thought they were for people with misophonia, and other irritable sounds some folk suffer from.
I’ve never heard tinnitus pronounced like that
Hi i am from.india i have nerve hypercusis and tinittus can i order ear calmer it will help.in horn sounds or the habit of calmer will.make my hypercusis wrk plz rply can we wear it whole life can we.wear it in nerve hypercusis
would you recommend this ear plug for teachers who spend many hours every day with crowds of young humans screaming in the corridors of the school?
Yes, it can indeed help reduce the exposure to loud noises, especially in environments like schools where there may be constant noise from crowds and activities.
If your tinnitus vis related to your sinuses, ear canals etc. then it could help
I dont see how these little things could prevent tinnitus.. which is generally a result of damage.
Are those bone conduction earphones recommend if one has tinnitus?

I have sensory overload and i am trying to figure out how to deal with it since i have loud neighbors above me so thumping noises are bothersome as well as people rattling bags for instance. I cut the cords off an old set of earbuds so i wear those or over the head headphones with no music just to muffle noises. I am nervous that the flare audio or loops will lead to tinnitis. I also considered silicon putty but now i am worried about getting the earwax effect which could lead to tinnitis. Someone had said that after using silicon earplugs they developped tinnitis. So i am wary of trying them even though they have a whole so they should not caise the earwax effect.
Good to know.
No one:
The amount of times he said Tinnitus: 45 😂
Thanks so much for the review!!
Does anyone know if Calmer Pro or Calmer night cuts sudden noise? For example, if an upstairs neighbour drops something on the floor, does Calmer prevent this irritable sound? I really need this info to buy it.
Will Calmer worsen the mild hearing loss and moderate hearing loss ?
Most likely yes
I have musicogenic epilepsy, I was hoping it might help me...
Thank you 🙏
Hi doctor, I have Hyperacusis and I sometimes have ringing in my ears. I wear a cotton ball in my ear 24*7 because everyday noises are very painful. Will this help me out?
I'm not a doctor but I'm very sensitive to high-pitched sounds and have occasional intermittent tinnitus from inflammation. I've found that Calmer lets me spend time with my roommates in the living room, listen to music I could never handle without Calmer, and relax easier when I get intermittent tinnitus, which helps it go away quicker for me.
@@EmeraldSky33 Wow, thanks for your reply, I wanted to buy calmer but wanted a confirmation before buying because shipping it to my country is quite expensive 😅. Ill get it then.
@@andrewdavid9051 I hope it helps you! It really helps my anxiety.
@@EmeraldSky33 Thanks 😀
I have hyperacusis and they help me by I'd say 25% so they are definitely worth trying out IMO.
Exactly. They won't help Tinnitus but they can help Hyperacusis / noise sensitivity. Mine are arriving in 10 minutes from amazon and I'll try them for my Hyperacusis. PS they are a British company, not European! The UK left Europe. 😔
The UK is still in Europe, just not a part of the European Union.
@@twillfast Obviously!
@@Hew.Jarsol :)
But yeah, from an online shipping perspective it might be different for the US. It's definitely different in Europe, ordering from the UK now. So much so that I don't do it honestly.
@@twillfast Do you have Hyperacusis?
@@Hew.Jarsol Don't think so. Well, I'm not entirely sure what that entails. I do however have some kind of stress induced tinitus and I'm absolutely sensitive to noises when I'm stressed as well. I was thinking of getting something like this for those times. I can't block out all sounds since I have kids, but I'd like the sound to be less harsh sometimes. Have you tried them?
Hi i am from India plz help me i have senstivity to sound nd senstivity to touch also I need clamer of smaller size as my ears are very small to plz share me link aur tell me how can u find small size that fit easily i am very thankful to u

I'm at 2 minutes and i need to explain some people's tinnitus. It is the sound my brain makes. A "dead" room would make it louder. No way that something out of the brain could attenuate tinnitus! On the other side i'm an Asperger so it CAN help to reduce stimiluses and so maybe brain activity.
I ordered a pair last week and i can't wait to soften my surroundings but all the trucks are stuck in Great Britain on their way to the modern human world (EU:)
I wonder if it is of any use as a soundengineer.

Oh i see, this is your explanation too, i'm always to quick with responding lol...

I think marketing it as a tinnitus relief probably was a bad idea, what it does do is make tinny sounds (like those annoying people that play their phones out loud on public transport 🙄) a bit more bearable. It just changes the timbre of the incoming sound. It doesn't do anything for my tinnitus which comes from inside.
It was not marketed for tinnitus. There's even a disclaimer that it isnt a solution for tinnitus. Its just that a lot of people with tinnitus says how it helped them and recommended it to other people. I bought this out of recommendation for someone with tinnitus. It works for my sound sensitivity, but i guess thats why.
thx!
welcome!!
They've removed the claim that they help with tinnitus and are now claiming that they help with "sound sensitivities". I would highly suggest not buying any product from this company.
Thanks for sharing this information... i almost buy this thing but because of your review i cancel it... i already live with tinnitus for more than 1 year now... now i have gone to "just go with it" situation...
I bought one. And there is no difference.
Any device for misophonia
Sound therapy, yes. Device, not specifically.
@@treblehealth any medication for misophonia
Out of understanding cochlea is inside ear and this flare calmer out side ear
Hey Irshad Baig, that is correct.
What if you have tinnitus and sensitivity? Im neuro spicy and have a daughter who is much more neuro spicy. I have a lot of siund sensitivity to her. She makes a lot of really high pitched squealing sounds. I have to wear earbuds A LOT. Unfortunately ive had tinnitus since my childhood, and its almost become a background noise, I'm just use to it. It really bothers me when i have migraines though!
It helps with tnitus because loud soundctriggeers my tinitus
Any reccos of earplugs that can still allow people to hear clearly at a concert?
Yeah, check out EarPeace. I have a review video coming in the next few months.
@@treblehealth also, thoughts on Audiophile/HiFi audio? Have you expressed an opinion on this hobby?
Sir can you help me?
Probably yes contact me privately for further questions.
@@treblehealth how sir?
Tried this, didn't work for me!
Me neither!
I tried these for misophonia. There are quiet and loud noises in my office that are very triggering for me.
The difference with these headphones was negligible. I could still hear all the noises I did not want to hear. The sound wasn’t even muffled slightly. All these people saying it changed their life is really baffling to me. Just know that the difference in noise level could be barely noticeable at all and for the price of these it may be worth it to just try some more inexpensive products first.
Hearing disability use or not use
Soooooo you didn't actually do an experiment with people who have tinnitus. You just expressed a bunch of theory about why it shouldn't work. Not very helpful 'doctor'.
