Flare Calmer Kids – Ear Plugs Alternative – Reduce Annoying Noises Without Blocking Sound – Soft Reusable Silicone - Translucent

I purchased these earplugs after they were recommended by a friend. I have sensory issues including misophonia (sensitivity to sounds). Hard to believe a little silicone plug with a hole in the middle would do anything at all but it changes how the sound waves enter the ear and causes them to be much less annoying. You can still hear everything (sound is not muted) but more comfortably. I wear the “kid size” because my ear canals are on the narrow side. Purchased the adult size first and still have them but the smaller ones fit even better. Plugs come in a small draw string pouch but could be easy to loose or misplace if you don’t keep your eye on them.

They make the package impossible to keep so doing a return isn’t realistic. Also, they’re so tiny. It says child, I got them for my 7yo who is pretty small. They almost went all the way inside her ear. I’m not exaggerating when I say both earplugs would fit on a dime, together. These look like they may fit a newborn, that’s about it. My daughter said they didn’t make a difference for her either, so obviously didn’t do the job well. And they’re expensive… Don’t waste your money.

My daughter was having anxiety triggered by noise level in her classroom. These allow her to still hear her teacher, but drown out the other background noise. They are super tiny and can get lost easily, but other wise they are perfect!

I got these thinking they would help with my Misophonia at work. Bottom line, they don't. I had to get the kids size because of my very small ears, and they still fall out of the ear canal. They don't come completely out which is nice so I don't lose them. They will make my ears hurt after a couple hours but they aren't super noticeable until then. They do help with cutting down sound from all directions which makes it a little nicer at work until I have to take them out. Also, they are not very noticeable which, again, is nice at work. I don't have people asking me what they are which means I don't have to go into "well, I have a neurological disorder spiel."They do not help with my misophonia triggers at all. They are not worth it if misophonia is the only factor for trying them.As an adult, I would say these would be super hard to keep track of for children especially if they have sensory issues. They would definitely be able to feel the device. Also, if they fall out in my small adult ears, I would venture they would fall out in kids ears.All in all, if I could return these, I probably would. Not really worth the money I spent hoping they would help with misophonia.

I am an elementary PE specialist and while I'm teaching lunch is also happening in the cafeteria next door. Needless to say, I'm surrounded by a *lot* of noise. I like these better than loop because it doesn't plug my ears. It drowns out the sharp yelling and background noise without me having to hear myself.My only complaint is they are SO tiny. I did get the kid version because I have weirdly small ear holes, but I am so afraid I'm going to lose them. The mesh bag they come in is good, but the hard case is probably better.

My son wears them at school in the cafeteria and when we go to church during praise and worship. Being in big loud venues triggers his anxiety and these help him hear and be able to deal with the reverberating noises and keeps him calm.I wish they were a little cheaper because they are so small and easy to lose. If your buying them for your kids I would suggest getting colored ones so they are easy to find if you drop one. The stem gives you something to grab and pull out. They are a great product

Bought these for my daughter, unfortunately she felt like they made everything louder. 😔 She can get overstimulated especially when a lot of noise is happening. We were hoping these would help. We've had her try them multiple days and in multiple locations/situations. After seeing video reviews I was hopeful these would help. But that wasn't the case for her. Due to them being opened and worn, I'm doubtful we can return them. You live and learn I guess.I like the bright colors, in case they get lost. The bag they came in is bright yellow as well but the fabric is thick and not an easy close. It's a drawstring bag and due to the thick fabric it does not seem to close all the way and I fear we will lose these tiny pieces. I would recommend getting a pill holder that screws shut and you can add to a keychain to hold these when you aren't using them.I thought they were easy to get into her ears and a nice soft silicone. Good directions but unfortunately she feels like they make things louder instead of helping eliminating distracting sounds.

Waste of money. Fell out of sons ear within 20minutes and couldn't be found. He said he experienced no noise reduction while using them. I encouraged him to wear them longer as instructed and it fell out so easily.
