Noise reduction earplugs for noise sensitivity
Noise sensitivity is an increased sensitivity to sounds. It affects people differently, but if you’re triggered by loud noises like fireworks or find everyday noises like chewing and slurping to be unbearable, you may be noise sensitive. That means you might find that normal, everyday sounds can make you anxious or make you feel frustrated, but they wouldn’t necessarily bother another person.
Many people with sensitivity to noise find it has an impact on their social lives, as they avoid social gatherings, public spaces and events with high levels of noise. It can also have an impact on your ability to focus, meaning your work or studying is affected.

Benefits of using earplugs for noise sensitivity
However you experience noise sensitivity, you shouldn’t have to avoid loud places. In fact, doing this can make you even more sensitive to noise in the long run.

And if you find it hard to concentrate when it’s noisy, earplugs can help too. Whether you’re trying to study in a busy cafe or need to focus at work, Loop Earplugs for noise sensitivity can reduce distracting sounds to create a more conducive environment for concentration.
What can be caused by noise sensitivity?
Noise sensitivity can manifest in many different ways, from anxiety and panic attacks to discomfort and distress. And it can be linked to lots of different conditions, like ADHD, autism, PTSD and anxiety.
There are several different types of noise sensitivity disorders, including:
- Phonophobia, a fear of noise
- Misophonia, a condition which causes intense dislike or disgust of certain noises
- Hyperacusis, an extreme sensitivity to noises which seem to be at a normal level for other people.
If you suffer from any of these conditions, you may benefit from noise sensitivity earplugs. Wearing earplugs for noise sensitivity reduces the amount of noise reaching your ears, which can take the edge off background sounds. That, in turn, can reduce overwhelm, help you to better regulate your emotions, and ensure you can stay present and focused in noisy environments
Best practices for using Loop Earplugs
Getting the right fit is key to ensuring your earplugs for overstimulation help to manage your symptoms. Here’s how to insert your earplugs in three simple steps:
- Hold the ring of the earplug between your thumb and index finger, then gently insert the ear tip into your ear.
- Once it seals the ear canal, give the earplug a small twist towards the back until it sits snugly at the base of your ear.
- Adjust until the ring feels comfortable and your earplugs can’t be seen from the front.
