Calmer Performance is for anyone who wants to reduce stress caused by everyday noise. Noise-sensitive people often notice the effect immediately, whereas others may need to wear Calmer Performance for 5-10 minutes in a noisy setting and then remove them to appreciate the stress reduction that Calmer Performance is delivering.

Calmer Performance is an ear tool that balances sound energy before it reaches the ear. They are ideal for people who need to hear every detail but without the sharp sound peaks that cause stress and discomfort. Calmer Performance fits discreetly inside the ear, comes with 3 pairs of replaceable silicone tips and can be worn for long periods of time to improve wellbeing. It’s not a traditional earplug and it doesn’t block or muffle sound which means you don’t experience the occlusion effect that is common with all other earplugs.

Calmer Performance allows you to communicate perfectly and is designed to become part of your everyday routine. Wear Calmer Performance just before you enter a noisy space and keep it in your ears until you leave so that you minimise your stress response. Typical places to wear Calmer Performance include... Busy Places, Public Transport, Noisy offices, Schools, Hospitals, Restaurants, Bars, Cafes, Shops and more.

Calmer Performance tunes our ears so that as sound energy enters, it is controlled and balanced. This precision ear tool is unique and works in a similar way to how musical instruments are tuned to perfect their sound. The technology relies on a specifically tuned sound tube which creates a balanced frequency response inside the ears. There is no sound reduction or muffling - just a balanced, calmer way of hearing.

According to The World Health Organisation (WHO), environmental noise is the second biggest killer after air pollution. They highlight that just a 10dB increase in daily traffic noise exposure leads to a significant increase in heart attack, obesity and stroke because it creates additional stress on our bodies due to the increased release of the stress hormone cortisol.

Following 2 decades of research in sound and hearing, we have discovered that noise is not the only problem - the shape of our ears also has a significant impact. Our ears are shell-like shapes that have evolved to increase stress response to sound by resonating sound at frequencies between 2kHz – 8kHz. This resonance triggers the release of cortisol. Whilst the effects of HRTF have been known and studied for some time, we are the first to realise that our ear shape plays a role in the release of cortisol and have developed unique technology to address the issue.
