Product Information

As I've mentioned I my articles, if there is no underlying medical condition that is responsible for making your tinnitus worse, including stress, the usual cause is "loud sounds" If you listen to music through headphones even at low volume, it is something that I don't advise for someone that has noise induced tinnitus. It is true some people with NIT are not affected by headphone use but I think it's not worth the risk. The repeated claim that Calmer removes distortion isn’t a sensible way of summarising what the product does. I think it would be more accurate to say that Calmer reduces the level of mid- to high-frequency sound by a noticeable, but not a large, amount,” Davies says. Flare Audio's Calmer earplugs don’t look like regular earplugs. They’re small, made of soft silicone and have a big hole in the middle. There are specific instructions about how to fit these – they need to go into your ear canal at a certain angle – but they’re easy to follow, and this is a crucial step considering they work by ever-so-slightly changing the way your ear works. The ear defenders reviewed here are all quality products that could be a good choice for you or an autistic loved one. Here’s a great explanation of the differences between the 3 Loop models, written by Aaryn S. who has autism and ADHD:

These ear defenders are adjustable and most people find they offer a comfy fit, though a few people find them too tight. Noise-cancelling headphones also produce residual sound which can be an issue for some people. Other Ways to Help Reduce Sensory Overload from Noise There are several pairs of baby and children’s ear defenders on the market, but manufacturers generally only recommend them for babies aged 3 months old or more. In case you’re wondering how we chose these headphones and earplugs and why you should trust us, here’s what you should know: If your child listens to music or watches videos using headphones, make sure the volume is no more than 50% of the maximum volume.

However, noise-cancelling headphones are more expensive than ear defenders, and you need an MP3 player or other device to use them. I wore them on the tube into central London and really liked being able to adjust the settings as I moved around – mostly switching between settings 2 and 3. However, the design of the dial does mean they’re bulky. Even with a snug fit in my ear, I was worried they’d fall out, which isn’t ideal for public transport.

Hearing protection is important and does have its place. If I am going to venues where I believe noise level could become loud then I have my earplugs with me. Night clubs, parties etc. I would always use them at the cinema although I haven’t been to one in years. Reading some of the posts on this forum people say those places can be very loud. Many people on the Autism spectrum can struggle with sensory overload, where certain sights, sounds and smells can become too much to process. You can also choose a pair of specially designed headphones for kids with a safe decibel limit such as Mpow CH6 Kids Headphones, which limit the volume to 85 decibels. Use double protection The Mpow Ear Defenders weigh 381 grams, which makes them heavier than the children’s ear defenders reviewed below but still fairly light for carrying around when you’re out of the house. There hasn't been much research comparing different products and seeing which ones are most helpful," she explains, "And in the long term, whether they reduce stress. I think that's definitely a need that still exists."If you’re an adult, both the Mpow Ear Defenders and Vanderfields NR35X2 Ear Defenders have a discrete, headphones-style design and offer good value for money. You might need some patience when choosing ear defenders for everyone, and the first pair you try might not be the right one. If you’re an adult who’d like a discrete pair of ear defenders that look just like headphones, the Mpow Ear Defenders could be a good choice. First off, if you are buying ear defenders for a child you should know that sensory overload doesn’t affect everyone with autism, so a diagnosis of autism doesn’t automatically mean you need to buy ear defenders. Your child’s school doesn’t have the right to prevent your child from wearing ear defenders, but you may want to discuss it with them in advance to make sure they understand why your child needs them.
