      Didn't work for me...

      I am not sending them back though, it is not worth it, I think. Costs a lot to send it back.

      Glad people are talking about this. A few people have sent it to me but I sort of brushed it off.

      Cause of Tinnitus:
      Rock concert. No hearing loss identified.
      I'm absolutely loving these as a first impression, after receiving them today. Remains to be known whether all effects I experience stick around past the initial weeks. I think these are helpful in reducing the sum of anxiety I experience. Tinnitus caused me a constant stream of anxious input that I believe affects me profoundly, and reducing any anxious input may help me deal with the effective stress. Making sure I sleep in a properly soft (not too soft nor too firm) bed has been one critical step. Cleaning my ears carefully and firmly using Revaxör (Swedish ear cleaner, doubt it's anything special) twice or thrice was another, and actually a breakthrough for me, but quite possibly thanks to a combination with overall lower anxiety allowing me to focus away from the remaining tinnitus.

      My tinnitus is relatively minor in perceptual volume. When I got tinnitus over 7 years ago, I heard it over nonfiguratively everything. That horror period lasted weeks or months, and then there was only awful agony for years. Today I barely ever hear it and when I do am not as impacted by it, but not feeling severely affected by it is still a recent development of this year. I am extremely grateful to be where I am. Tinnitus can certainly ruin one's life.

      This simple product Calmer seems to do what it claims, and I enjoy it way more than I expected. Flare Audio is respectfully careful with how they present potential benefits in regard to tinnitus.

      Hi, I have just received my set of Flare Audio Calmer. I have been using them for about 4 days, and I can't say I have noticed any difference apart from my tinnitus seems louder - I am not sure if I have them inserted properly, I may have them too far in so I am going to try them not so deep - I will report back if they improve my tinnitus.

      I have had tinnitus for 4 years and for around 3 of those years I never heard it in the day and only dealt with it at night.

      I heard great news about these Flare Audio Calmers.

      As soon as I used them, it changed my tinnitus sound from a hissing to a high pitched ringing.

      It's now been 5 months and it has not let up.

      I know I have to try and ignore it again but it is so hard, I think it's because the sound changed and my brain has picked up on the different noise.

      If you do use them, be cautious, remember what doctors say, the only thing you should put in your ears is your elbow because it doesn't fit.

      It's great if these Calmers work for some people. But I just want to be able to manage my tinnitus again.

      I would just like to say that Flare Audio Calmers continue to sponsor their advertising all across Facebook every day - flooding the network.

      I have made it my business to counter their vile claims on a daily basis also.

      Couldn't agree more. The BTA also took money from Neuromod. It's another ineffective gimmick with snake oil promises of 86% relief. But the BTA taking money from Flare Audio is even worse than that. They have tweeted about Flare Audio many times because of the bribe. It's great you don't mince your words and speak the truth as it is. (y) (y)

      The entire medical profession knows that there is currently ‘no’ effective treatment that can reduce tinnitus noise, let alone any cure.

      This is both medical knowledge and common knowledge.

      But ‘FLARE AUDIO’ would like to make some money - they are a business you see, and that is what businesses like to do!

      They make no pacific claim to be able to do this, but cleverly publish third party references to this effect.

      (A cunning stunt Mr Marketing manager! Full marks for ingenuity!!)

      Now ask yourself - does ‘FLARE AUDIO’ know something that the entire medical profession has not caught up with yet?
      Have these ‘geniuses’ designed a world beating ‘first’ in medical appliances, with their two bits of plastic?
      Will the BMA adopt their product and provide it on prescription?
      Why do so many people commit suicide rather than spend a few pounds on ‘CALMERS’?
      Why do they disallow comments on their sponsored advertising page without you sharing their ‘drivel?’
      Why do they offer a money back guarantee?
      Because they know that most people can’t be bothered to do that.

      Now if you wish to argue with my point of view, I have a few questions for you first:

      Do you understand my statements above?
      Do you have tinnitus?
      Do you work for ‘FLARE AUDIO’?
      Do you have any financial interest in this company?
      Does your dad own the company?
      And finally - are you known among your friends and associates to be super gullible?

      And if you don’t like my tone - I don’t like to see people suffering a hateful condition cheated by conmen and shysters!

      QED.

      Thanks again Dave, for your relentless fight against these impostors! And quod erat demonstrandum it needed! I found your previous post about 'Liebscher & Bracht' very interesting too. I watched a YouTube clip about tinnitus, made by Roland Liebscher (I speak and understand German). He knows what causes tinnitus, where it comes from and of course how to treat it. Oh and by the way: don't forget to buy his books!

      I checked their website and run his wife "Dr. Med. Petra Bracht" through the medical register of the BÄK (German Medical Association) at: https://www.bundesaerztekammer.de/service/arztsuche/hessen.

      All real medical doctors and registered medical therapists are in that register but not Petra Bracht so therefore she is not a medical professional, let alone being a doctor! In plain English that is called a quack and so are the other so called doctors on that website; none of them is registered. Very despicable and I really do have an opinion about the Germans and their proverbial "Gründlichkeit" (thoroughness); this is a bit disappointing. So please be aware of scammers everywhere! As my good friend Bernie always refers to them:
      scammers just want your money or even worse: they try to separate you from your money.

      To everybody who thinks ear plugs, pills, books, therapies or whatever you think might help; please think double twice before you order something, regardless the price tag and remember:

      1. Without official medical expertise/supervision it unfortunately is not going to help you and there is NO science, research or what soever behind it;
      2. People selling this over our backs (regardless if it is cheap or not) are just scammers. Putting a rubber plug into your ears is not curing/helping tinnitus or hyperacusis, since it is not an ear problem;
      3. Scammers just want money and really don’t have consideration with our suffering, and selling cheap junk in big numbers is still profitable to them.

      Thank you very much buddy.

      These scum bags are our enemies and should be seen as such.

      But I feel I wage a lonely campaign.

      Oh yeah I've heard of that! It is called snake oil and it works very well... For the scammers who sell that stuff, to be precise. They're also selling hearing aids; cheap Chinese products sold expensive (up to $600!). I am wondering what country is behind this website; the extensions are .vip, .com and .net. It must be really profitable for them.

      Looking for any addresses you'll find nothing (not even a contact or return address), so again... Be aware!

      Interesting...!

      The seller of Calmer is Flare Audio (we know them!) and a guy - UK ‘inventor’ - with the name Davies Roberts states they founded the company in 2010. They claim to have filed a patent for the Calmer but that is not registered (probably rejected, if really filed). Actually there are a few patents for speaker systems:

      https://patents.justia.com/assignee/flare-audio-technologies-limited

      They also produce earphones, and their customer service is lousy (just see TrustPilot).

      Maybe you want to see this too, about Flare Audio Ltd:

      https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/06315305

      You will see that the registered date is 2007 not 2010 and that Davies Richard Roberts lists his occupation for Flare Audio as 'sound engineer'. Some documents make clear that advertising on social media really pays off. Even when your stuff is based on lies and deceptions.

      Thanks for the detective work Fr@nq.

      Yes I’m sure they make money ‘hand over fist.’

      They are up to all of the tricks in the book, the most insidious being the use of third party claims for their products, thus leaving them essentially exempt from any possible legal come back.
