Genius aid for noise sensitivity.
I have been using Flare for a little over a week now, and they have helped me decrease outbursts of overwhelm significantly. I am so grateful for these wonderful little earpieces, and so is my daughter because she can just be her loud, happy little self again without me having a meltdown because of noise sensitivity!

Life changing.
It is amazing! For me I could feel the difference almost instantly. It does take edge of sounds, especially sounds from bad speakers. I never knew noise sensitivity adds day to day stress massively

Working with your ears
Calmer is unique in that they work with the natural shape of our ears without blocking the ear canal. It features a hollow chamber that helps reduce harsh frequencies without obstructing airflow or normal sound transmission.
Unlike traditional earplugs, Calmer doesn’t block sound entirely. Instead, it smooths out sharp peaks while maintaining clarity, so you can still hear conversations and ambient noise naturally.
Why we don’t think blocking is best...
If you have sound sensitivities, completely blocking your ears (e.g., with earplugs or noise-canceling headphones) might seem like a solution, but it can actually make things worse in the long run. Here's why...
1. Increased Sensitivity Over Time (Auditory Gating Issues)
Your brain adapts to lower noise levels, making everyday sounds seem even louder when you remove the earplugs.
This can lead to a cycle where you become more sensitive to sound instead of less.
2. Missing Important Sounds
Blocking sound can make communication, situational awareness, and social interactions harder.
You might miss safety cues like alarms, traffic sounds, or someone calling your name.
3. Sound Distortion & Internal Noise
Fully blocking your ears doesn’t just cut out noise—it can amplify internal sounds like breathing or heartbeat, which can feel overwhelming. It can also make external sounds feel unnatural or distorted.
Alternative Solution: Sound Filtering Instead of blocking sound, using sound-filtering devices like Calmer® can help by softening harsh frequencies without cutting out important sounds. This allows your brain to adjust naturally while reducing discomfort.
Soothing Spiky Sounds
Calmer soften stress-inducing mid-frequency distortions (around 2 kHz–8 kHz), which can make sounds like alarms, chewing, or high-pitched voices feel less jarring. Essentially, Calmer fine-tunes how sound waves interact with your ears, reducing stress-triggering noise without compromising awareness.
Unlike traditional earplugs, Calmer doesn’t block sound entirely. Instead, it smooths out sharp peaks while maintaining clarity, so you can still hear conversations and ambient noise naturally.

Takes the irritation out of it!
These bring the noise to a bearable level! Takes the irritation out of it! I hear an echo with my own voice when I’m reading to my kids, but these make it to where I don’t hear that.

Life savers.
I love Calmer, the difference they make for me is amazing. I find low rumble sounds unbearable and I'm unable to zone them out, but with these in I am able to.
They help with my sound sensitivity and ease my anxiety because they help reduce the noise triggers by redirecting the way sounds enter my ears. I have narrow ear cannels and the mini fit perfectly.

Make the world a little more peaceful.
These little beauties are great, especially in loud places like the open plan office and restaurants. They cut down the road noise of driving on the motorway and they make the excited shrieks of my nieces a little less shrill so I feel less overwhelmed when I spend time with family.

Calmer® FAQs

We understand how much tinnitus affects people, so we want to be very clear about what Calmer is designed to do.
Calmer was not designed to help with tinnitus.
Calmer purpose is to reduce distortion in the ears. In turn, this increases sound quality and lowers stress levels.
It came as a huge surprise to us that we started to receive feedback that our original Calmer was helping some users with their tinnitus.
Tinnitus is different for everyone, and we do not suggest buying Calmer solely for this purpose.
If you feel like Calmer is not meeting your needs, we have a 100-day money-back guarantee but we would hope that Calmer stress-reducing properties and sound quality improvement would be of benefit.

I’m very enthusiastic
I’m very exited about Calmer! I’m still alert/sensitive for noise as a former hyperacusis patient. Especially traffic. I notice a softening in the sounds when a car/tractor passes by. And no occlusion from my own voice or footsteps!! Because Calmer is open. And all other ear devices have that occlusion which makes earplugs even worse in stead of less painfull for my ears. Up untill now I don’t notice more sound sensitivity after I take them out… I haven’t user them yet in crowded places but I’m almost sure I’ll be thrilled!!

My Calmers everywhere
I’ve been using the Calmer Soft for a while now, and I wear them almost daily—they’ve truly changed my life for the better. However, being the forgetful ADHD self that I am, I often misplace them whenever I take them off. That’s why I’m thrilled with my new purchase! Now, I can keep a pair in the car, one in the office, and another at home, while my Calmer Soft stays on my keychain (or wherever I last forgot them).

Great for misophonia
I find my misophonia really tough to manage when I'm tired, tougher than usual. These little treats live on my keyring and are an instant helper when I need them. Just knowing some relief is at hand also helps take the pressure off. Gold. Highly recommended 👌.

Our Story
The very first Flare products came to life at our first Flare HQ – a garage in our founders garden. As a small team of three we designed and built our first loudspeakers and provided PA for gigs and festivals.
It wasn’t long before we ran out of space...
