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.

Which noise cancelling headphones 🎧 you're using?

[@dawgyjones9844]

I’m excited to try them

[@PreciousPinkCupcake]

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.

[@treblehealth]

Thanks for the comment. Valuable perspective!

[@perezpepito104]

I love them. Works really well tbh. Thought I was going crazy, I have less anxiety.

[@rayn2817]

Stumbled across these recently. I have a lot of sensitivity to sensory overload. Would you say these help with that?

[@HolisticHealthWithHarry]

yep me too really good

[@GiraffeOmelette]

@@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.

[@suthrndaysi]

I really hope it works for me

[@suthrndaysi]

Less stress because the noise sensitivity sounds wonderful

[@virgola2126]

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.

[@caylamedley]

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

[@ggoldie5539]

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.

[@jeremywaygay]

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.

[@misssugarpink6357]

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

[@rglmmo]

Hello, does it help you with high impact sounds? like sudden screams

[@A_Seablue_Moon]

Which ones do u have.. idk which one to pick...

[@sborrink]

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.

[@sativamae5743]

Loop they have them on Amazon too

[@curiouscat5045]

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.

[@swissarmyknight4306]

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.

[@dougbenson9539]

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.

[@curiouscat5045]

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. :)

[@RixBix]

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.

[@StealthyGamerGirl2020]

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

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.

Have they helped your tinittus ??

[@speakerbaby]

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.

[@jeremywaygay]

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.

[@Pushing_Pixels]

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.

[@swissarmyknight4306]

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.

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.

Handing hard earned money over to quack doctors and scam products will only heighten your stress. Peace, calmness and good health 🙏💪👍

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.

[@sophialee840]

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?

[@anaortiz4578]

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

[@beaker4809]

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.

[@pattiel1108]

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.

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. :/

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 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?

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

[@treblehealth]

You can try standard reusable ear plugs in loud events, or maybe flare would be helpful too

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

[@GiraffeOmelette]

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.

[@richardaling5278]

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...

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.

[@carolinewheeler7826]

Good to know.

[@Hew.Jarsol]

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]

@@twillfast Do you have Hyperacusis?

[@twillfast]

@@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?

[@DA-ti6pc]

so if I'm hearing you right that means being a musician using any ear protection will just cause more tinnitus ???

[@treblehealth]

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).

[@infinipipz]

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?

[@treblehealth]

No, I wouldn't recommend it for hearing loss.

[@lumailisa]

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.

[@hxsm8090]

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.

[@venomsorceress]

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.

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.

I'm not a doctor but I'm very sensitive to high-pitched sounds and have occasional intermittent tinnitus from inflammation.

You're saying tinnitus wrong.

[@treblehealth]

Hi there, while we understand that pronouncing the word "tin-ih-tuhs" seems a little strange, there is actually a reasoning for this. In Latin, the ending -ITIS refers to inflammation -- think tendonitis, arthritis, etc. Even though the word tinnitus ends in -ITIS, tinnitus itself is not caused by (or due to) inflammation -- therefore, the ITIS is not pronounced in the same way as conditions that are related to inflammation.

[@HollieMM]

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!
