A lot of publicity appearing around the ear inserts called Calmer from Flare Audio. Not intended at all to aid Tinnitus sufferers. Anybody on here tried them?
Their full blurb states:
We were shocked to hear that Calmer® is helping some people with their tinnitus!
FULL DISCLOSURE:
We’ve had a lot of feedback from people saying: “Wait what’s this? Calmer can cure tinnitus?! Where do I buy?!” And others saying: “snake oil.”
We understand how much tinnitus effects people so we want to be very clear about what Calmer does and the way it has reduced tinnitus for some people.
1. What is Calmer? Calmer is a new in-ear technology that was originally designed to increase sound quality and reduce stress by reducing irritating distortion of frequencies between 2 and 8kHz that cause us stress. It is not an earplug and it doesn’t reduce volume. It is an in-ear waveguide that better channels sound into our ears. We have independent research from the Institute of sound and Vibration Research to prove that they successfully do this.
2. How does it help with tinnitus? The fact that Calmer is helping some people's tinnitus was a real surprise to us. The reason for this is not yet known and Flare is working with a number of health organisations to conduct randomised control tests to find out which groups of people benefit and which do not. We do know that fitment, and patience (we suggest wearing Calmer for at least a few hours over a few days) has a great effect on results.
3. Tinnitus comes from inside the brain so how can Calmer help me? Yes this is true - but headaches can sometimes be caused by our vision and that can be rectified by wearing glasses. Until we have the results of the randomised control tests we won't know for sure who benefits but we do know that there are already thousands of people benefitting from Calmer.
4. How has Calmer helped? The results we have seen from users regarding tinnitus have been really mixed. Some people experience no reduction at all. Others range from a subtle reduction of tinnitus to a significant turning down. Whilst others experience a dramatic total reduction as soon as they wear Calmer.
5. If Calmer doesn’t help my tinnitus then what? If Calmer provides no tinnitus relief then we would hope that Calmer’s stress reducing properties and sound sound quality improvement would be a benefit instead. If not then we offer a full refund for anyone who is not completely satisfied.
