Loop earplugs and sensory issues

in Neurodivergent Corner!

Hi, I have a lot of senory issues with noise, so I wanted to try to loop earplugs, but usually, AirPods etc. hurt my ear… does anyone knows if it’s okay or if it will hurt ?

Have a good day :)

hi! I'm autistic and have ADHD so that give me sensory issues. I have bought loop earplugs and I like them for when you cant bring noise canceling headphones. I bring them on field trips and I wear them during Assemblys. I like noise canceling headphones 100% more than loops but loops are a better alternative for places headphones are not allowed. I got the loop quiet and they are pretty comfy. they can be a little uncomfy sometimes but are generally okay. they are better than loud noises though. have an awsome day!🐸

I have the quite and experience use for all my tests and in some lessons I have worn them for 8+ hours and even to sleep I love them dose anyone have any tips for getting them as an exam accommodation. Thanks everyone

I'm not diagnosed with anything so they might not let me and my schools funny about these things so they might not let me. I do have sensory issues but I think there's going to be an information evening in September so I'll get my mum to ask if I can where them

I wasn't diagnosed when I first started using them in exams

I wear loops all day everyday day and they're so comfortable and don't cause me any trouble at all. I wear the kids ones but I'm hoping to get the quiet ones for my exams in a couple of years but they're so good and would definitely recommend

I have the purple quiet ones and I love them I also love that I can hang them on my lanyard I wear sometimes.

Loop earplugs ar slightly more gentle on your skin so not to overwhelm you but.. if ur not sure then buy a cheper version first!

I use Loops and find they are really comfortable as they are quite flexible and come with different tip sizes. I also use Airpods and find that Loops are definitely a lot more comfortable! Hope that helps.
