Flare CALMER®
Description
Small product. Huge benefits.
A small device worn in the ear to reduce stress. Calmer features a unique technology that reduces distortion in our ears and calms your environment in a subtle, but potentially life-changing way.
- Reduces stressful frequencies without muffling sound
- Perfect for: Sensitive Hearing, Hyper-sensitivity to sound associated with autism, Hyperacusis, Misophonia, noise related stress & other hearing conditions
- Soothes sound sensitivities & helps you feel calmer
- Available in standard and mini sizes. Standard fits most and Mini is for those who know they have very small ear canals.
- Calmer Night edition is available for use during sleep.
- Note: Calmer is not an ear plug. It dampens unpleasant frequencies in sound which lowers stress and improves your audio experience.
Reduces stress while…
- Travelling / commuting • In noisy areas • Any other use where you want a calmer environment • May reduce symptoms of tinnitus. Click to find out more

Soft-touch durable silicone
PACKAGING
Calmer arrives in 100% recyclable packaging.
INCLUDED WITH EVERY SET OF CALMER
With every pair of Calmer you also receive a Flare carry pouch.
Calmer does not contain latex
A small wearable device
Calmer sits barely visible in the ear and uses revolutionary, non-electric technology to reduce mid and high frequency distortion without having a detrimental effect on our hearing.
The result is a natural way to minimise today’s constant barrage of environmental noise stressors which have a negative impact on our mental and physical well-being.
Calmer reduces stress by removing distortion that would usually trigger the human ‘fight or flight’ response.
While this response was a vital part of our evolution to alert us to the slightest sound or threat, in today’s modern world where we no longer need to be alert to the snap of a twig, this added resonance is loading us with unnecessary stress.
Calmer, Sensitive Hearing and Autism
Calmer helps users with sensitive hearing conditions such as Misophonia, Hypersensitivity and Hyperacusis. Users have found that their audio world becomes more bearable when they wear Calmer, with irritating noises being reduced to a much more manageable level.
Hyper-sensitivities (over-responsiveness) and hypo-sensitivities (under-responsiveness) to a wide range of stimuli are often things that autistic people have to deal with on a daily basis. These can include sensitivities to sounds, smell, touch and taste.
Many autistic people are hyper-sensitive to certain sounds and many find bright lights, smells and tastes overwhelming.
Calmer is a small device worn in the ear to reduce stress. We originally designed Calmer to specifically help us all to deal with noises that cause us stress and anxiety. They do this without reducing the volume so you don’t feel disconnected from the world.
Using Calmer
Here’s a graph to show you how Calmer is affecting sound energy in our ears. As you can see, the blue area shows a reduction in unwanted energy (distortion) between the frequencies of roughly 2 kHz - 8 kHz when Calmer is worn. As a result, this produces a much more even response and therefore an improved and more pleasant sound.
The black area (without Calmer) shows the natural peaks of energy that result in harsh noises that trigger a stress response.
As these trigger frequencies are reduced, so too are your stress levels.
How it works
Calmer removes the resonant effect of the Concha by using a tiny waveguide inside our ears. The Concha is the small shell shape that connects to our ear canal which normally resonates mid frequency sounds.
By removing this resonance, mid frequency sounds have none of their normal painful aspects.
“We conducted a range of tests on Calmer and found it to significantly reduce sound levels at middle to high frequencies (2 kHz – 8 kHz). This successfully meets Flare’s design objective.”

- HGHannah G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 hours agoFlare Calmer Mini - Makes school noise more bearable
I bought Flare Calmer Mini for my daughter who has mild / high-functioning ASD. She was finding school overwhelming socially and Flare Calmer was suggested by our psychologist who felt that she was experiencing sensory overload in the classroom. It's early days but the Flare Mini's seem to be doing the trick so far - my daughter seems less overwhelmed after school, she is happy to wear the Flare Mini's and forgets they are there, also you can't really see them so she doesn't feel any different from any other kid. They are easy to put in and the little carry pouch is really handy so they don't get lost.
- AHAllison H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoBrilliant!
I love my Flares. They turn an occasion that would usually be overwhelming into something much more manageable. Really helps with sensory overload and noise sensitivity.
- JSJody S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agogreat product
i had the regular size and this is my first pair of mini and they fit perfectly and are so good at helping reduce the noise that causes my sensory overload
- AAngeeeeRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoThese Are A Lifesaver
These are awesome, they have saved my marriage, I no longer want to hurt my husband when he breathes or eats ice cream. Life is great and all thanks to Flare calmer. They're also great in restaurants, they really take the edge off all the noise. Highly recommend.
- GAGillian A.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoLove them
Haven’t taken them out since I bought them, I can concentrate more and hear better and more clearly, I have auditory processing disorder and it helps me to hear the first time instead of being delayed. My mind is more quiet :)
