Product Information

They replace your actual ear canal with a pipe (rolled into a circle) that aims to do the same thing as your canal,” Davies says. Many people find busy restaurants, offices or social events too jarring to the ears and just want something to take the edge off. Some mention that they are good and cut out some noise, while others say that they cause some irritation to their ears. This means there’s a chunky layer of silicone that sound must pass through before even getting to the ear plugs filter.

Loop’s new earplugs for kids are designed for sound-sensitive children who need help concentrating at home or school, or who become anxious in loud environments.The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. The result isn’t silence but a kind of cloud-like calm where you can clearly hear voices and high-pitched sounds such as ice cubes tinkling in a glass, but low-frequency sounds like snoring are tuned out. Spies will be very interested in this feature – especially since they’re so small as to be invisible. During this process I experienced a Eureka moment, and uncovered a way to target distortion at source; in the human ear itself.

I'm only 41 now but it was starting to make me feel I needed to see a Dr about my hearing as my family and friends were noticing that I'd either give up making conversation or I'd constantly be asking people to repeat themselves. The evidence from the ISVR measurements shows that these earplugs can attenuate sound by about 7dB over a frequency range of 2-10kHz. Earplugs are great for blocking out noise such as snoring partners, or for using in the warmer months when you may leave a window open at night,” explains Lisa Artis, chief adviser at The Sleep Council. Made from soft but durable silicone which can be washed allowing the earplugs to be used many times.Flare Audio's Calmer earplugs remove stress from everyday life, using unique technology designed to eliminate harsh frequencies. SOUND SENSITIVITY | Calmer helps anyone who experiences sound sensitivity but doesn’t want to feel isolated from the world. Yep, our earplugs are fit for all, because they come with removable silicone ear tips in 4 different sizes.

Like the Loop Experience, the Vibes are an example of high-fidelity earplugs, which aim to give a flat frequency response, the same kind that musicians use to protect their hearing while listening to music. They’re the car engines, machine hums, slamming doors, and piercing dog barks that often progressively exhaust. My last test with the Flare Calmer earbuds was on the London Underground; a fearsome opponent for any audio device.

Although this design does work to attenuate some sound, we need to be wary of some assertions about these earplugs. I was also impressed that they reduced some of the shock of hearing my loud neighbours marching about upstairs – a huge source of stress for me. It's similar, but the natural resonances of the pipe will amplify sound at some frequencies and attenuate sound at other frequencies," Davies says.
