We strongly believe in our products and ensure that the same love and care that went into making my son’s first Weighted Blanket goes into every handmade product we produce here in Worcester. However, unlike the Calmer earplugs, these do feel more like regular foam earplugs – a plus for blocking out sounds, not so great if you don’t like that stuffed ear feeling. British Born Solutions Sensory Direct’s principle drive and values are based on wanting to help and support others find their solution.

Loop Mute is an add-on included with Experience Plus and Engage plus to give you an extra 5 dB noise reduction on-demand.Even with a snug fit in my ear, I was worried they’d fall out, which isn’t ideal for public transport. Its discreet design means you can wear Calmer without feeling self-conscious about having them in your ears.

However, from the past few weeks testing these buds, I can say that they’ve certainly helped me take a step towards living comfortably.The result is a natural way to minimise today’s constant barrage of environmental noise stressors, which have a negative impact on our mental and physical wellbeing by removing distortion that would usually trigger the human ‘fight or flight’ response. They also, mostly, delivered on their promise of reducing some louder sounds whilst allowing me to hear others. IMPO RTANT: This product comes with a factory damage guarantee but cannot be refunded once it has been used due to hygienic reasons. We discovered very quickly that Calmer were very popular with the autistic community and were extremely effective at helping people manage sound sensitivities that impact their day-to-day life. This is a great solution if you’re dealing with mild distractions at night, but for everything else, you’re going to want the Alpine SleepDeep.

Although this design does work to attenuate some sound, we need to be wary of some assertions about these earplugs. A small number of our products will be sent via courier for free; this will be specified at checkout.Disability aids for this population usually include foam or electric earbuds or headphones designed to turn the volume of all sounds down or off. Calmer sits barely visible in the ear and uses revolutionary, non-electric technology to reduce mid and high frequency distortion without having a detrimental effect on our hearing.

There are specific instructions about how to fit these – they need to go into your ear canal at a certain angle – but they’re easy to follow, and this is a crucial step considering they work by ever-so-slightly changing the way your ear works. We tried the earplugs out with our own children in both a bowling alley, and afternoon tea London tour bus (which was particularly noisy) and found that they really helped the kids cope with such stimulating environments. And rather than being overtly marketed at people with auditory sensitivities, these come recommended because you can easily change the level of attenuation depending on your environment.
