Does it *actually* work? | Flare Calmer review

[@darrenrodriguez4429]

I’m wearing Calmer Pros right now. I just received them today and I love them right off the bat. I’m the guy who can hear a cricket two blocks away at three in the morning so yes these are much appreciated. Now I hear what I need to hear without all the excess.

[@Toddleoff]

Thank you for your detailed review! I purchased the standard Calmer and could not figure out the proper way to wear them. Instructions should be a main photo in their packaging. Now I feel confident in wearing them for the first time today at work. Thank you again.

[@kittynado758]

very good tutorial for putting them in your ears! better than all of the official instructions 😭

[@the_glitter_is]

I have horrible misophonia & tinnitus; I'm awaiting my order. Much appreciation to you!

[@miacourtt104]

how is it?

[@LeanMeanAsianCuisine]

It might actually make your tinnitus worse because that is a mental noise not a real high pitch frequency and eliminating outside frequencies might make your brain overcompensate

[@the_glitter_is]

@@miacourtt104 HATED it 😂 It did essentially nothing.

[@the_glitter_is]

@@LeanMeanAsianCuisine it's supposed to change how sound enters the ear vs blocking it, which is less likely to result in a paradoxical reaction. But that's moot because they did nothing lol. I switched to Loop which have helped.

[@laboratoriovarifarma]

@@the_glitter_is hi! which model of Loop? I have tinnitus and i'm trying to find the right one for me... thanks!

[@Thegooob95]

These are not earplugs. They do not dampen sound. The reduce ambient sound in the ear canal for sound sensitive people with misophonia and hyperacusis. I’d imagine it would help those with MEM as well.

[@nikmuhdhafizharun4869]

Hope you can review and compare loop engage and loop experience

[@JessieThorne886]

I got the Calmer Pros. They are a mix of aluminum and silicone. Easy to clean and easy to put in and take out. I feel like they improve my stress levels over time. I have ASD and I'm very sensitive to various sounds, smells, etc. Mine were also simply packaged in a cardboard envelope of sorts, not the box pictured, and the envelope had also been squashed and damaged during transit, but luckily the Calmers themselves had not been damaged. The bag they came with doesn't seem like a safe way to store something this small and expensive, they could just drop out of it, unless you tie it up extremely tight.

[@kayleighbullen6483]

I found they work for me to reduce overstimulation from a busy noisy room, eg work. I like that I can still hear as my job require it. In a quiet setting I may as well not wear them. 😊

[@troyarrandale9643]

i first used the calmer night mini after buying a standard + mini combo pack, and the standards were too big, so i stuck with the mini at night at first, all because dogs kept waking my with barking at night, which used to make me then stree cry for a few hours til ii could fall back to sleep. Using them at night didn't keep the dogs sudden bark from waking me, but they did stop me from crying from stress after being awakened from the dogs sudden barking. lSoon after for nighttime I quickly changed to 32 db reducing soft ear plugs at night and switched the Calmer night to daytime wear. The first day i got them and put in the calmer nights in the evening before bed I could feel my tension in my shoulders and arms and neck melting away immediately, so they were great for me. I loved wearing them during the daytime. Last week i lost one of my pair, and so have gone without them, even using only one soft ear plug during the day to see if that helps, and since i"m feeling the tension in those places again during the day I am going to order another pair of Calmer night mini's.

[@chiarra644]

What would you recommend for something that does the same as calmer but also does lower frequency because highpitch bothers me, but so does engines revving. But I also don't want something like loop that makes my voice sound like I'm wearing normal ear plugs. I also don't want to hear my breathing or my heart beat.

[@kai_johnsonn]

But Flare have even said that their products don't help tinnitus? It seems very odd that the tinnitus foundation are promoting this, considering the product doesn't help in any way. I personally use these due to neighbour noise. I've had them a couple of days and to be honest, I really don't know what they're doing. They're definitely doing something, I just can't put my finger on it. It doesn't dampen sound, but I would say they focus your ears on what is in front of you instead of what's around you. *I don't know* ! Is it a placebo? Anyone else feeling the same?

[@NasiLemakTech]

They did mention tinnitus in their own video and they have no idea how it helps. And yea I kinda feel the same. Feels like it does nothing but there is a notable change.

[@ettoliram8116]

For reducing low frequencies, the Loop Experience are great! They do make your own voice, footsteps etc sound rather loud, but I have gotten used to that

[@NasiLemakTech]

Coming back after so many months - I bought the Loop Quiet and I love it.

[@captlanc]

@@NasiLemakTechHi, which one works better for you in reducing vibrational noise? Loop or calmer?

[@ivanivanovich5904]

Same question here

[@mario312]

i haven’t seen any negative feedback which seems odd for a product, i got mine and i had zero negative or positive effects, i can hear exactly as i did before, zero change, so not sure what is supposed to happen

[@NasiLemakTech]

That's why I got the Loop Quiet. Works so well compared to this crap

[@lauren2764]

[@okate251]

they're not loops (my beloved, best on the market), but they're good for situations where earplugs are prohibited- for example, i can't wear any earplugs during exams, so i'm using these as a loophole (they're not true earplugs.) very minimal noise reduction, but it's better than nothing. i do wish they'd make the stems cuter somehow. maybe making the tip into a star shape or having cuter color options?

[@GiveItUpToGod]

Has anyone that didn’t notice a difference with these gotten the loop ones and had them help, and which ones did you get

[@NasiLemakTech]

I got the Loop Quiet. Best purchase in my life

[@r.k.6872]

Loop is like a pair of fancy looking Ohropax ear plugs. I have Calmer and Loop. Anyone looking to reduce noise like any common ear plug should get Loop or buy 3M or Alpine ones (cheaper and have the same effect). To dampen sharp sounds e.g. sirens or when someone starts a motocycle and such but still want to hear things clearly then Calmer. Calmer takes the sharp edges of high pitched sounds, which help a lot if you're sensitive to them.

[@ID1visor]

I lost mine but.. 1. I could tell the difference in sound when wearing them as opposed to not 2. They did seem to make noise more bearable But I doubt these two statements now as I haven't worm them in a while since I lost them and they definitely weren't comfortable to wear.

[@kt_master_of_none]

Thank you for such a useful review 👍

[@liileejade8861]

Just received the calmer pro and the earshade pro. I live in a sound varying hellscape 24/7. It's my last ressort. I'm praying it helps. And seriously when is someone going to invent one that cancels out the low frequency sounds because that's what is RUINING MY LIFE. HELP.

[@NasiLemakTech]

Do let me know if either of it helps. I want to decrease the low frequencies too

[@liileejade8861]

@@NasiLemakTech Hi. Omg. Sorry for all the errors in my comment. I've remedied it. I have multiple languages in my keypad and didn't proof read. Sorry. 🙏🏻 Yes I will let you know. I sure them all day yesterday and didn't notice a difference with the incessant barking, cars honking, kids screaming as they pass. I live in between two schools just to add. The noises that are really ruining me are the music here. Heavy Bass music. I have 5 neighbours who play it so loud all day, every day, most nights. I can't live like this for much longer. It was calm last night, for a change so I have not tried the shades yet. They seem promising though.

[@NasiLemakTech]

Interesting - do let me know how things turn out.

[@f1045]

Nothing filters out low frequencies EXCEPT active noise cancelling. And noise cancelling is incredible at it. If Low frequencies are ruining your life (same here) try the sony wf-1000xm4. It's quite a price tag but I swear you never heard anything like it. Neighbours party? Gone.

[@ivanivanovich5904]

Lee too 20-100hz

[@ivanivanovich5904]

Do they help to reduce low frequency such as 20-100hz ? Have vibrational noise caused NY warehouse downstairs. Sounds like neighbours unrolling a sofa

[@NasiLemakTech]

[@sarahamon4318]

they also have a sleep model. i dont know if it reduces more the sound

[@itsjenga]

I got the mini's because even ear buds are usually too big for my small ear canals. I noticed a dampening of the harsh sounds, which is nice. I also have significant high frequency tinnitus, but my audiologist believes that is a brain thing 🤷‍♀and sounds do not affect it, so these do not help that.

[@NasiLemakTech]

Interesting! Tinnitus is indeed a brain thing (according to research) but at least it can mitigate some harsh sounds. I did buy the Loop earplugs too - see how it goes later.

[@no0t1]

excellent review by a fellow malaysian! i want to block out traffic noise too. glad to find out that it doesn’t work before i bought them. did you notice any occlusion with flare calmer? what about others like loop or vibes?

[@NasiLemakTech]

Thanks a bunch for watching! Nope, the Flare Calmer is very... one-dimensional in terms of its functionality. Just cutting up the certain frequency and that's it.

[@TheQuokka1]

@@NasiLemakTech How about Flare Earshade. They claim it can block out all sound.

[@swissarmyknight4306]

I got Loop Quiet (I think that's the name). Very, very comfortable and even kinda fashionable looking, but significantly reduces hearing. I would wear those on a plane to block out sound or for sleeping. I wear Eargasm and Hearprotek musician's earplugs out in the world, as they heavily block noise while still allowing me to hear enough for safety. I plan on trying Loop Experience (like musician's earplugs) soon. I wear Flare Calmer in my home for minimal sensory reduction in a less noisy environment. I wouldn't use Flare Calmer to block traffic noise as it would be inadequate protection.

[@Scandurra23]

Thank you, mine keep slipping out, also have strong jaw and twitchy movements. Can you recommend how to keep them in?

[@Scandurra23]

They say 2 weeks but I felt relief within 15 / 30 minutes.... Still waiting for it drown out kids but it worked for traffic sirens (I don't have kids 😅)

[@NasiLemakTech]

I don't have any recommendations unfortunately. I'm having the same issue. I switched over to the Loop Quiet earplugs and my jaw movement still pushes it out

[@EveLovesGod]

How long did you try it out for? It sounds like you wore them for two months?

[@NasiLemakTech]

Yea, two months. I switched over to the Loop Quiet and never looked back.

[@christieserna]

Can I use this while using one of those Jabra headphones for work? The sound coming from the headphones is making my head hurt so I'm looking for ways to minimize my headaches due to noise.

[@NasiLemakTech]

That's a weird way to use it. I'm not sure it'll help since your bone will conduct the sound too. Also do look at the Loop earplugs. I think it's more suitable for you

You're not wrong. They don't do much - if any at all. The Loop earplugs are a lot better

Same here, wasted money on two small plastic tubes. The costs were too high to return the order to UK so I tossed them in a drawer😒

[@JessieThorne886]

I bought the Calmer Pro, which are made of a mix of aluminum and silicone. I find they help me get less stressed by irrelevant noise, and I can still hear people taking to me. But it is so difficult to know for sure with these things, what is placebo, what is actually working. I have ASD and have very hypersensitive senses.

[@evictory92]

@JessieThorne886 same i got ASD but maybe cuz i got spatial processing disorder too cuz i just found out i have it and apparently its having difficulty honing in on certain sounds above other sounds to be able to block them out. So maybe thats my issue too?. I also got auditory processing disorder which probs doesn't help lol. Theyre just gonna get hearing aids for me. I thought the ones u got might be better. I'm glad they help u cuz sensory is definetly stressful 😎👍🏼

I can get $23 ANC earbuds are uncomfortable and probably produces unclean sound when ANC is turned on. For this, I agree it's expensive - though the R&D is worth some merit here.
