Woman with earplugs for noise sensitivity

Noise reduction earplugs for noise sensitivity

The world is noisy. From chatter and the sound of the subway on your morning commute, to the sound of traffic on the road outside, and from background noise in your local cafe to children screaming in the playpark… Noise is everywhere.

If you’re sensitive to noise, it can be hard to deal with. Noise sensitivity affects everyone differently. Some people find everyday noises like chewing and slurping that wouldn’t bother other people, completely unbearable. Others are only triggered by loud noises like music concerts, fireworks and sudden shouting.

Whatever type of noise sensitivity you experience, it can make life difficult. You want to live your life to the fullest, but noise anxiety can make it difficult to get out there and face the world.

But what if we told you there was a way you could still experience all the things you love – just at a reduced volume? Earplugs for sensitive ears can help to reduce your symptoms, meaning you can grab every opportunity with both hands.

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:

Engage earplugs: Find discreet relief from everyday noise with our upgraded Loop Engage 2 earplugs. They reduce background noise for more present socializing with 16 dB (SNR) of filtered noise reduction
Engage Plus earplugs: Take the edge off for more calm and focus when life gets loud with an extra 9 dB (SNR) of noise reduction with Loop Mute.
Loop Switch™ 2 earplugs: Discover convenient volume control with our new-and-improved Loop Switch 2 earplugs – it’s 1 pair of earplugs with 3 adjustable sound settings, no apps or batteries needed. So you can enjoy comfortable noise relief, wherever the day takes you.

I wish I had found them sooner!

I can't imagine not using my Loop Experience Pro again. I struggle with noise sensitivity and distraction from ADHD; there is either not enough sound or too much. Being able to drown out background noise so that I can focus on conversations has been a game changer.
Also, wearing them underneath headphones makes them into noise-canceling headphones! You can hear your music perfectly, but no outside sounds!

Amazing earplugs for sound sensitivity

These are great! And especially nice if you’re bothered by high-pitched sounds.
Another great thing is that your internal sounds (chewing, breathing) aren’t as amplified as with most earplugs. You can barely tell that you’re wearing them, until you take them out. That’s when you realize how freaking loud everything is without them, haha!

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
