“I’m a 31-year-old female with Asperger syndrome and I’m very involved in the online community for autistics. The number one product I recommend to adults on the spectrum is what I find myself most frequently using, my VIBES earplugs.
The sensory processing difficulties that come with autism spectrum disorder can make it challenging to function in noisy environments. Even going to the grocery store can be overwhelming and stressful. I carry my VIBES earplugs with me everywhere in a small container keychain and a lanyard. They have become as essential to my daily life as my sunglasses!
I like that they are barely noticeable, easily adjustable, and comfortable. With them, I’ve been able to focus better during tests in school, enjoy live music and drown out unbearable low frequency sounds like those dreadful leaf blowers.
They’ve even helped me become a better communicator. It’s difficult for me to stay engaged and participate in conversations when there is music or TV playing or other conversations happening, as I have trouble habituating to the background noise. When I use my VIBES ear plugs, I can tune out the background noise and focus on what the speaker is saying.”
