You may have heard of it: the Calmer by Flare Audio<\/a>. 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 \u201cnormal\u201d hearing protection. In this article, we tell you all about it.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

When do you use a Calmer?<\/h2>\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n

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\u2019t feel disconnected from the world. <\/p>\n\n

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). <\/p>\n\n

Do your hearing problems affect your life? If so, contact a family doctor, an ENT doctor or an audiological center. <\/p>\n\n

What does a Calmer do?<\/h2>\n\n

A Calmer reduces frequencies from approximately 2 kHz \u2013 8 kHz. As a result, it produces a much more even sound response, smoothing out jarring frequencies, resulting in an improved and more pleasant sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humans can hear between 20 \u2013 20,000 HZ. Our ears are naturally most sensitive between 2,000 Hz and 8,000 Hz. A frequency response chart shows which frequencies are amplified by the ear when sound reaches the eardrums. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

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 \u2013 8000 Hz. This increase is natural resonance caused by the shape of our ears (Concha).<\/p>\n\n

Distorted frequencies have a dramatic effect on our mental and physical well-being.<\/p>\n\n
