It takes us a second to realize, another dog has just ran away due to the loud 4th of July firework show. They have simple stems, making them easy to put in and take out, which are also discreet because they’re transparent. Our son worn them every day for school for the last 3 months and has said that he can still hear things fully (not muffled like with big ear defenders) but the sharpness of noises has gone away. But they provided me with some much-needed peace so I could work, effectively reducing the sound of the fan on my desk, as well as the construction noise that was going on across the street. And because adults aren’t the only ones who struggle with sensory overload, the company also carries Calmer Kids, which fit easily into smaller ears.For me, my subjective experience of the Calmer was that sounds felt a little less grating: living on a busy street, I found myself persisting for longer without needing music or other distractions to dampen the room while I was working. Its discreet design means they can wear Calmer Kids without feeling self-conscious about having them in their ears. The Quiet earplugs are made entirely from light, soft silicone, and they’re luxuriously comfortable.

We also practiced with other dogs we know to make sure we had good sizing, and we were not creating adverse reactions with dogs that just wanted to be part of the pack and wear what the others were wearing.

After I got the small ones in my ear the noise in the room decreased which helped me so much as I suffer from Autism and can get a diagnosis because I’m an adult and in the community.

Earplugs can be used alongside other strategies including medication, mindfulness, exercise and therapy to manage your ADHD and its symptoms. At social gatherings, you might find the loud music and multiple conversations overwhelming, leaving you feeling stressed and grumpy.
