Calmer: this is how it works

You may have heard of it: the Calmer by Flare Audio. This particular earplug made of durable, soft-touch silicone is designed to dampen unpleasant frequencies to lower your stress levels. It works completely differently than “normal” hearing protection. In this article, we tell you all about it.

When do you use a Calmer?

Hypersensitivities (over-sensitivity) and hypo-sensitivities (under-sensitivity) due to a wide range of stimuli are often things that people find challenging. These can include sensitivity to sounds, smells, touch and tastes. Many people are hypersensitive to certain sounds, and many find bright lights, smells and tastes overwhelming.

Calmer is a small earplug worn in the ear to reduce stress. The Calmer was originally designed to help us all deal with sounds that cause us stress and anxiety. They do this without reducing the volume so you don’t feel disconnected from the world.

This makes Calmer perfect for: sensitive hearing, hyperacusis, misophonia, noise-related stress and other hearing disorders. Calmer calms sound sensitivities and soothes your audio world. In some cases, Calmer can also help against tinnitus (ringing in the ears).

Do your hearing problems affect your life? If so, contact a family doctor, an ENT doctor or an audiological center.

What does a Calmer do?

The chart shows average frequency response of the human ear and how Calmer corrects for it. Note that without Calmer, there is a large increase between 2000 – 8000 Hz. This increase is natural resonance caused by the shape of our ears (Concha).

Distorted frequencies have a dramatic effect on our mental and physical well-being.

• listen fatigue
• headache
• increased stress

These can all be linked to sound (unwanted noise) from our busy daily lives. Calmer offers a natural way to reduce the constant barrage of today’s environmental noise stressors.

This is how you put them in

1. Hold the Calmer by the stem (voice) with the logo facing you.

2. With the logo facing you and hand forward, gently place the Calmer in your ear.

The Calmer fits neatly in place and needs only minor adjustments for the perfect fit. Do you want to know if they are seated properly? Then check with the images below.

“The effects of a Calmer are not immediate. It takes about a week before you start to experience a difference.”

This is how you wear them

The effects of a Calmer are not immediate. It takes about a week before you begin to experience a difference. Therefore, the following things are important:

1. Use them as much as possible within the first 7 days to give your ears time to get used to them.

2. Wear them in a variety of environments to know where it works best for you.

3. Discontinue use if you have any kind of skin irritation in the ears.
