Review: Great Outer Design, Great Tech Design, Fair Price, Lives Up to Its Name - *Reason for buying* I had read about Calmers as a potential accommodation tool for people with autism and general sensory/perceptual sensitivities (which I have). *Outer Design Pros* They fit well, they are very discreet (in clear), their bag keeps them dry and clean. The bag is easy to recognize by touch if you have it in a laptop bag with other stuff. *Technical Design Pros* Some people have said that, after the 24h test, they took the Calmers out in noisy environments and immediately noticed the Calmers had been making a difference, because they became more anxious and irritable. I do not notice such a shift (which is a plus because it seems that wearing the Calmers a lot doesn't further lower your tolerance to sound). On whether it works for me- I can easily notice that mid to high pitched sounds are, indeed, muffled. Low pitch sound is unaffected, and I can still hear mids to highs pretty well. There is seemingly no decibel difference, just pitch. So, Flare is legit on those claims. Again, I haven't felt a distinct shift when I put them in or take them out. However, I have been far less anxious, irritable, and overwhelmed since I started to wear them (real result, placebo, or other cause- I don't know, but I'm sticking with it). Also, I can tolerate close proximity to very harsh noises like vacuuming (never could achieve this before). I feel as though I am able to function better in my noisy home, whereas before I was knowingly and frequently running away from noise. Noise can still be annoying sometimes, but it just seems more tolerable/manageable. *How/When I Wear Them* I place the Calmers in my ear as directed (logo/projection side facing the back of your head, not super far into your ear). They really don't work otherwise, so be sure to do that. I just put them in before any louder noises I expect to occur and/or that I suspect or know stress me out. So, for example, I will put them in when my family is settling down to watch TV. I haven't tried the Calmers at a noisy restaurant or public space yet. I so far didn't feel I needed them at those places, but I'm sure they will help there. I also reach for them if there is a louder noise in my environment and I notice that I am irritated or have a headache in the back of my head/neck (I learned recently that these headaches are often from overstimulation). The noise may not be the cause, but who knows? I grab my Calmers anyway. *Technical Design "Cons"* Nothing is a real con for me. I do notice some weirdness to my voice when I wear the Calmers. People call it "echoing" but it just sounds a bit muffled and low to me. Nothing bothersome over time, though. It can also be a bit harder to hear people. This was all expected, especially due to the range at which I and other people speak (mids I guess). You also can't wear earbuds for music with them, so headphones are good, or I just take them out. I originally wanted colored Calmers for fun (I don't actually like boring and discreet items), but I found the available colors to be ugly, and I see that the clear ones are actually a great choice. So, Flare could make nicer colors, but it's not that important. I am guessing that I can't wear my tragus piercing without affecting the Calmers' performance (haven't tried, they are bendy but it might still affect things). That's fine, as I'd rather wear the Calmers most of the time. It's not a problem existing for most potential buyers anyway, but I wanted to note that. *Overall* I love the Calmers, and I think the price is fair for the materials used and how they have helped and will help me. I would definitely suggest splurging on accommodating yourself (I know Calmers are not that expensive, but I was still dragging my feet to buy them). Accommodating yourself in health is not shameful (you aren't being overly dramatic), it definitely helps you to live a little and be more productive, it is needed, it is worth the price, and it opens up space to be happier. 10/10 great tool for sensory sensitivity.
Review: Excellent Tool but not Miracle Devices - ****Edited review after my order was corrected**** I was shipped Minis in error at first but desertcart quickly replaced them for the correct size. I tested them for 2 full months and these are my thoughts as a neurodivergent person with Auditory Procesing Disorder and general noise sensitivity: * The standard size of Flare Calmers is still very small and feel tiny enough to fall out at random. However, when you follow the wear directions and ensure they're inserted correctly, they don't actually fall out. The only times mine do fall is when I kept messing with my ears, hair, and the Flares, throughout the day. I do moderate exercising and competitive bowling while wearing mine and they stay in place despite the sensation that they aren't securely seated. * These aren't miracle sound blockers. You will still hear all of the annoying chewing sounds, pings, clangs, ticks, smacking sounds, and so on. These do indeed take the edge off a little bit, but you still need your full scope of coping skills to manage your daily auditory stressors. *Be warned, mine made some sound frequencies slightly altered and uncomfortable until I adjusted to the changes with prolonged wear. It wasn't the worst, but some pitches and tones sounded slightly skewed. It stopped being noticeable after a week. *These were most helpful to me with consistent wear. When I first put them in, it seemed they made absolutely zero difference at all and I wanted to throw them away. But after long daily wear for a few days, I noticed a huge difference when I took them out. The slight buffer was gone and the world suddenly sounded sharp and harsh again. *These help with my APD by gently buffering the sharpest parts of ambient noise so I can spend my mental energy focusing on words and lip reading. I still have to combat competing noises, and these don't make me magically hear speech more clearly. But they do help give my focused energy just enough of a break to be able to concentrate more on the conversation task. *Extremely easy to keep clean *Easy to lose if you're prone to absent mindedly setting things down and forgetting. *Cats are idiots and will try to eat them if you're not careful. *NO Occlusion Effect, unlike my Loop Engage plugs which gave me severe Occlusion Effect issues. *These have been an excellent tool for daily wear and I plan on buying another pair of Flare Calmers. I prefer these over Loop Engage when it comes to situations where I do need to be able to hear conversation and my surroundings clearly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is Calmer**
A: Calmer is a life-changing product worn in the ear that gently reduces hearing sensitivity without blocking sound or making you feel isolated.

**Q: What size of Calmer do I need?**
A: We generally find that most users (around 90%) get on with the standard size of Calmer, however if you have small ear canals or struggle with other in-ear devices we would recommend the mini size.

**Q: How does Calmer work?**
A: Calmer work by changing the internal shape of our ears. They are hollow so won't block volume like all other earplugs do. They simply make trigger sounds less annoying and much more manageable.

**Q: Will Calmer reduce volume?**
A: Calmer will not reduce the volume of sounds. They are completely hollow and allow sound to travel through but make stressful and trigger sounds less annoying whilst allowing you to hear the world around you.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Only Meh so far
*by B***K on January 9, 2024*

I like that they mute the sound somewhat, not a lot, just enough to notice. However I was in a noisy area yesterday and could not hear or focus on the person talking to directly to me. What I have seen with video reviews and audio test is that they change the direction the sound is coming from and basically take away your echo location ability or hamper it., that then mutes noises or lessens certain ranges I literally could not tell where this person was speaking from and it was distracting. I had to take out one just to focus on him enough to hear him. With bone conducting headphone they seem to enhance the depth of the sound and make it better almost like regular headphone would sound. They don't block any noise so really do not do anything to crowd noise. However because its changing the direction of the crowd noise it seems to help me focus less on the crowd but also hinder listening to one person talking to me. At work we have to leave our doors open all day and it makes it heard to focus. They do not get ride of the noise form others, but do mute it a little. There is also a whining noise in my office and I noticed it immediately after taking them out, so that was a plus. What I really hate is that one falls out constantly. I am not sure if it's too big or too small. The other two bothersome things are the itchiness, which apparently is normal and the slightly underwater feeling of sound. I like that I don't get full occlusion with these like the loop ear plugs. I do get some. I have misophonia and I can't stand mouth noises from others and wearing the loop makes me hate myself when eating these less so but its still there. The loop helps much better with the mouth noises from others because it blocks a lot more sound all together. The loop also blocks a lot more crowd noise and help for loud noises close to me. I have yet to test these in a game night with 7 friends who get loud and often trigger me. That test will come in the next month. These have their place and so do the loop. Neither solve my issues but they do help a little.
