Product Information

While misophonia isn’t an officially recognized condition, that doesn’t mean its effects are untreatable. The similarities and links between misophonia and other conditions, such as OCD or PTSD, indicate that people with this condition may benefit from various forms of mental health therapy (formally known as psychotherapy). By avoiding all noise, your brain loses the ability to deal with everyday sounds – so when you do hear them, they can be even more distressing and overwhelming. Cutting yourself off from sounds that bother you can decrease your tolerance even further. And what’s more, it can lead to social isolation and anxiety. It becomes a vicious cycle. Meditation, then, can help you to calm down in the face of these perceived threats. The practice of mindfulness can also help to alleviate the stress response to triggering sounds, by helping one to cultivate an awareness of the thoughts and feelings you experience upon hearing a triggering sound. In short, I’m pleased to say the earbuds worked… kind of. Surprising and sudden noises, in particular, proved a lot less stressful for me, and I was far less jumpy in general. This is especially true while wearing the Flare Calmer Pro; instead of hyper-fixating on the uncomfortable sounds, I was able to maintain focus and do some writing, which is rare for me while in transit.

In this process, the auditory system works normally but the connection between the limbic system and the ANS is enhanced. 4 The subconscious path is responsible for over activating the limbic system and the ANS. 4 Some people with auditory sensitivity use noise-cancelling earbuds and headphones instead of earplugs. This is ideal if you want the best of both worlds – sound that you choose or total silence – with the push of a button. When I started wearing these new earplugs around him, it was better. I could focus on whathe was saying a little better; not 100%, but I noticed a difference. I still have trouble hearing what he’s actually saying unless I look at him and am not doing something else, but the VIBES earplugs have made it slightly easier. I tried moving flat and I moved from a flat where I was bullied every day where they delibertly made noises, to a place where I also can’t cope. Also the council won’t let me move from here for at least a year before I can even register to swap to another property. Plus moving is near enough impossible with M.E. And I’m trying to make this my home, redecorating…and the cost of that in time and energy is huge, when I am well enough, so I’m meant to give all that up?!!
