Whilst continuing my search for ways to decrease the noise I hear in today's (selfish) society, I came across QuietOn active noise-cancelling earplugs (https://quieton.com/). Does anyone on the forum own a pair? If so, please post a review in reply to this posting.
I know Bose are working on a pair of 'sleepbuds' (https://www.bose.com/en_us/better_with_bose/better_sleep.html) which take a different approach to QuietOn and are aimed at giving users better sleep. Unfortunately, the 'sleepbuds' will not be available until later this year.
I have a pair of Bose noise-cancelling headphones for indoor use and a set of 3M Peltor X5A ear defenders for general use, however, I cannot easily sleep in either.
I like active noise-cancelling because it produces a quieter environment than passive options, although I am also looking at a passive options (e.g. wax earplugs) for general use and for sleeping.
Any related comments will be much appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you very much letting know!
Noises are one of my biggest problem.
These would help me a lot!
Interesting, how much are they going to cost?
Thank you. I should really change the picture as my current cat is a rescue cat 20 years old at some point this year.
love your kitten btw! Mine are a lot bigger, but still just as cute in my eyes :-)
I figured it was worth an ask! I don't know whether they have any awareness of the problems too much sound poses for autistic people, so I have given them a brief explanation of why it is a problem for us - hopefully that will help them to explain whether these are likely to help us or not
Thank you. I feel rather stupid for overlooking contacting the company!
IN fact I was so interested in these that I just emailed them, to ask them if they have had any feedback from autistic users, and whether they are effective in reducing sensory overload. When I get a reply, I'll post again to let you know what they say!
Wow the QuietOn ones look really good. I too would be interested to know if anyone has tried them. I use noise-cancelling headphones all of the time as I have to commute into London and just would not be able to cope with the overload if I didn't. These look like a really good set! Also not having the trailing wires (mine are never plugged in to anything) would be nice
