Our previous model made from firmer silicone material is being discontinued.
Calmer benefits everyone by reducing unnecessary stress caused by everyday noise. Noise-sensitive people often notice the effect immediately, whereas others may need to wear Calmer for 5-10 minutes in a noisy setting and then remove them to appreciate the stress reduction that Calmer is delivering.
Calmer is a hollow, soft silicone ear tool that upgrades our ears to reduce ear resonance. Calmer is not an earplug; it does not block or muffle sound which means you don’t experience the occlusion that is common with all earplugs.
You can use Calmer anywhere there’s noise and still communicate comfortably. The technology is designed to become part of your everyday routine to reduce unwanted stress from daily sound.
Calmer can be used anywhere to reduce our stress response to noise whilst still being able to communicate effortlessly. Typical places to wear Calmer: Public transport, busy streets, noisy offices, restaurants and bars.
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 18 years of research in sound, 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.
Behind the tragus in our ears there is a small shell-like shape which causes sound to resonate as it enters. Our patented technology alters the geometry of this area so that instead of sound bouncing around the shell resonating, it reflects of a flat surface which reduces this resonance. Because the technology is simply improving sound reflection, there is no sound reduction or muffling.
Made from comfortable, flexible silicone which is reusable and easy to clean.
One of my office mates speaks so loudly it makes my head ache. She sounds like she’s screaming. As a new employee, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to say anything to her, so I bought the Calmer earbuds. I love how they decrease the excess volume of her voice without diminishing the volume of what I need to hear. This product is AMAZING!

Too subtle for any noisier than home environment.
The effect is very subtle, in fact barely noticeable when first putting them in but within an hour of wearing them I felt more relaxed. This was at home and for a short walk, I doubt they would make much difference in a noisy environment like an office, public transit or the pub.
I have sensitive ears and a subluxating my jaw both of which often create issues with regular ear buds and earplugs but these are no problem. The small size make them nearly imperceptable in the ear, just lucky I didn't order the minis as I was contemplating.
Shipping took a much longer time than I expected and the tracking information (or lack thereof) through the Shop app was useless. It took 15 days from order date to delivery; there was no information at all until 11 days after the order date and then none until the delivery notice. I like the product but if i decide to purchase any more, I won't be doing it through your website.

A.M.Y.k.A.
Doesn't make any difference sorry for an honest opinion
Calmer reduces resonance (distortion) by using a tiny waveguide to reflect sound into our ear which bypasses the effect of the Concha. Tested by the ISVR: University of Southampton.
We aim to despatch your products as quickly as possible and every effort is made to help the process run smoothly between you placing an order, our processing and handing over to a courier of your choice. See our Shipping and Delivery Times for more info.

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.
