Silicone is slightly less dense than wax, so it doesn’t block quite as much sound, but they’re soft enough to wear all night and certainly don’t fall out, unless you’ve worn them too many times and got them covered in fluff. Eating sounds, heavy breathing and even the sounds of coughing and sniffing can significantly trigger my misophonia, especially when in close-quarter environments and combined with clanging cutlery. This means there’s a chunky layer of silicone that sound must pass through before even getting to the ear plugs filter.I can still hear all the loud sounds that would previously have overwhelmed me, but they now just sound like they've been wrapped in a blanket. Many autistic people are hyper-sensitive to certain sounds and many find bright lights, smells and tastes overwhelming.

It's similar, but the natural resonances of the pipe will amplify sound at some frequencies and attenuate sound at other frequencies," Davies says.

My ears would ache after around the two-hour mark, which continued for some time even once I'd removed the buds, so these felt more like buds for special occasions such as concerts or sporting events.
