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. But wearing sound sensitivity earplugs in noisy environments or when you’re around sounds that you find distressing can increase your tolerance.

Earplugs can help you to socialize more comfortably, too. For many people with noise sensitivity, it can be overwhelming and exhausting to socialize when there’s lots of background noise. Wearing earplugs can take the edge off the noise, allowing you to stay fully engaged without feeling anxious.

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.

Best noise canceling earplugs when triggered by noise

Traditional foam earplugs block out noise – which isn’t great for people with noise sensitivity. The best earplugs for noise sensitivity filter sound instead. That’s exactly what Loop Earplugs do. They’re made to filter sound waves instead of muffling them, thanks to a patented acoustic channel and a newly engineered filter. That means you’re still able to hear everything that’s going on around you – just at a lower volume.

We’ve got a choice of earplugs, all designed for noise sensitivity, so you can choose the pair that best suit your individual needs:

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.

We recommend trying on all the ear tip sizes to find your most comfortable fit. You might also need different sizes for your left and right ear.

And if you’re using Loop Switch 2, you’ll want to know how to easily switch between modes.
