So glad i bought these, perfect!

I wear the Flare Calmers around my neck every day and constantly find reasons to pop them in - noisy restaurant, loud party, noisy electronic toys in my job as a pediatric OT. I also use them at contra dances and Irish fiddle gigs, where they help some, but not quite enough. I've also used earplugs in those latter situations, but they distort the sound or take away too much and I can't hear myself talk or play fiddle. The 10dB filters have changed my life. They make dances much more tolerable. And during rehearsals and gigs I can still hear myself, but I'm not driven batty by the guy on my right who is working out tunes at full volume on his new penny whistle. This is seriously life changing because there are gigs or dances I wouldn't attend because of the noise. And now I can go.

I have had calmer for s while now and they also sent me the sleep version to try. They do take the stress out of things. I also tried a well nnown loopy brand but I found they blocked sound and I could hear my breathing. Calmer doesn't do this. I don't feel like I'm in a bubble excluded but I do feel calmer with these in. My stress levels are definitely better
