Will definitely recommend!
I got a pair of Calmer extra on a recommendation from someone for how to deal with all the noise at work but still be able to function in the environment. I work in a shipping department, packaging, customize, pet tags and colors. With 24 shippers on a busy day, is that many labels being printed and torn from the printer, plus the bells on the cat collars, plus the music playing, people, talking, and air purifiers running, that’s a lot of noise to process when you have autism and ADHD. I would come home. I need to just sit and not be needed and not have noise and my weekends were spent recovering rather than actually doing stuff that needed to get done at home.
The extra didn’t quite lower, the sound enough so I purchased the filter pack, which works great, except there’s a lot of occlusion effect with the 15 dB filter. My next attempt was the C Calmer pro. I found it really interesting that while the.Calmer without a filter changes the sound so that the constant drone of the air purifier sounds more like brown noise, compared to white noise, which essentially drops it down a few notes, the calmer pro takes that same sound, and brings it up a few notes. They both work and do exactly what it said they do, the method in which it works is different than what was expected. I can hold perfect conversations with people across the break room without having to take them out after a few minutes. I don’t even feel them in my ear anymore with how comfortable they are. The calmer pro is a little bit less comfortable because of the aluminum inserts makes them stiffer and I can feel the edges of that insert a little too much if I move my jaw just right, but I could still pretty well leave them in and ignore them rather than muffling the background noise it more alters the way it sounds in a way that may or may not make it more tolerable, depending on how your mind process is the noise in the change. I would definitely recommend them to anybody who spends time in an atmosphere with noise going on that irritates them. The cost for finding the right one can be a lot, but at least with me having the different pieces that I can switch out is helpful because some days I can tolerate different things better than others so having the ability to alter the background noise in different ways is extremely helpful for me
