Flare Calmer Mini – Small Ear Plugs Alternative – Reduce Annoying Noises Without Blocking Sound – Soft Reusable Silicone – Grey

The media could not be loaded. I have menieres disease which severely affects the way my ears process sound. I struggle with any situation where there are lots of different noises and sounds all at once.These plugs have literally been a god send! They completely drown out background noise and help focus on conversations clearly.They fit comfortably in the ear without any discomfort ( i baught the mini size ) and are barely noticeable at all due to buying the clear colour.I am now able to live more freely without worrying about social situations causing a flare up and making me ill.

I don’t feel that there is any difference in sounds, sounds the same. But they do make my tinnitus unbearably loud, like they’ve turned the volume right up. I bought the mini ones as usually ear plugs and earphones are too big for my ear canals and hurt. These are tiny and almost disappeared down my ears, maybe they are too small. Overall disappointed, waste of £20

I first tried them out when at a festival. Considering I was in front of the sound desk all day working then I found that at the end of the day I was pleasantly satisfied that the buds had done a good job of staving off any end of the day ringing in the ears.I found that the first time is used them the high end that causes me so much issue was instantly dampened. I have so far not had any issues with the quality of the sound softening when in conversations or at work / around music. Unlike my other £20 ear defending buds that cut so much of the sound signal that you feel separate form the environment these feel very natural in their noise attenuation. I am a layman with my terminologies towards sound but I know what I have experienced and these are proving to be a great investment!The one reason I marked the value for money down was and is because, The fit has often left both buds loose in my ear canal and unless I keep checking in on them then I do foresee that any kind of over active endeavour (I am an active person) means that I will lose one fo both of these buds from falling out of my ears. And, I think that the small size is the right size for my ears. I would love for them to have a corded or even slightly more active fit option. I foresee me having to buy another pair before the year is out. Perhaps there is an option of cheaper replacements for those of us who have purchased before?I look forwards to trying the sleep buds at some point too. These are a great anxiety reducing tool within my newly forming kit and I do enjoy there sense of feeling calmer by making an informed choice in improving my sensory experience - such as my hearing. Good work Calmer. Peace.

I ordered these to try as I knew I was about to work a day in an environment I normally find highly stressful and noisy; a busy public place. I really didn't know what to expect from the Flare Calmers, but thought I'd try them and got the mini size as I have small ears and most ear phones are too big.So, I put them in in the morning, having practiced with the right way to insert them, and the whole day was so much easier. I didnt realise what a difference it made to the sounds around me until I realised how relaxed I was instead of my normal stressed self when there. I loved them. BUT....I wore them on the trip home and one fell out. They were so comfortable I didn't notice one had gone, so now I am bereft of an earplug.*Updated a few days later*So, I contacted Flare and they have been amazing regarding the lost one and discussing what might suit my ear shape better. It's not the first time I've bought from Flare, as I've had their earphones and their earplugs before (also excellent) and they always go the extra mile to help and advise. Love this company!

I entitled this review 'Not Helping' but that doesn't mean they are completely ineffective -- this is also my experience, so they may be different for others.They certainly do reduce certain frequencies -- high pitched continuous noises, background noise such as the computer fan etc.However, certain sounds seem to have gotten worse -- people chewing or talking nearby for example. They certainly do separate sounds, but that just got way too much for me -- instead of a wall of noise that I've learnt to tolerate, I can now hear everything so clearly I'm completely discombobulated when I wear them.What I really wanted to eliminate, however, was my reaction to sudden unexpected sounds like babies or children shrieking (ugh), sudden alarms (ouch), the dustcart outside my window (arrghh), leaf blowers (what's wrong with a rake ffs?) and power tools -- and unfortunately this product did absolutely nothing to take the edge off any of them.After trying them for 3 days, I also noticed my tolerance to background noise without them had decreased -- I needed to escape certain situations that I'd previously learned to handle; in a way I'd developed a dependence, which really isn't cool.The other thing, of course, is that I don't want something in my ear all the time -- they can come loose, occasionally itch and, well, I'm always slightly aware of them, and always aware of the potential to lose one.Have to return these, and the other larger ones I tried, as they simply and unfortunately, do not do what I expected them to do.

I saw this product on Facebook and claimed to help “organise” noise. I purchased these with the sole intent to see if it would help my gf at work (as a mental health nurse) without telling her what they did she put them in and it was a different level of calm for her.Later we told our neighbours about them for their son who may be on the spectrum and he also found they helped him focus.

These look great, however made no difference in sound for my daughter with sensory processing issues.

I had to buy the adult size, as although all other ear plugs are too big for me, the mini ones of these were too small! If you have extra small ear canals give these a try, but be prepared to pass them on to a littler one (after washing of course). The muffling effect is great for loud environments, or concentrating in an office.
