Some sounds don’t just annoy they trigger you. Whether it’s chewing, tapping, or breathing, these moments can feel like a personal attack on your peace of mind. Misophonia isn’t just a dislike of noise; it’s a real struggle that makes everyday life feel overwhelming.

You shouldn’t have to retreat from meals, meetings, or time with loved ones just to stay calm. Sounds shouldn’t steal your comfort. And they don’t have to.

That’s why we offer Bollsen Life+ earplugs as a gentle way to ease the impact of trigger sounds without shutting you off.

Soft filter, not total shutdown

Unlike regular foam plugs that block everything and make you feel cut off, Life+ earplugs gently filter sound. They adapt to the shape of your ear and reduce the harsh, low noises that often trigger misophonia while still letting through important sounds like voices. So you can stay calm, but also stay connected to the people around you.

What misophonia relief can sound like

Put simply: Life+ earplugs lower disturbing sounds by about 24 decibels. That means the sharp crunch of chewing, the clinking of cutlery, or the tapping of a pen becomes much softer enough to take the edge off and turn a stressful trigger into something you can handle calmly.

Comfortable enough for your most sensitive moments

You don’t always know when a triggering sound might hit, maybe it’s during breakfast, on the phone, or working quietly at your desk. Life+ is made from soft, skin-friendly silicone in a conical, two‑flange design that disappears in your ear canal. Wear them as long as you need. If things get calm again, remove them quickly with the small tab.

A tool, not a crutch

Using earplugs can be a delicate balance. Too much isolation might make your sensitivity feel worse. That’s why Life+ is meant to be a support, not a shield. Use them when sounds overwhelm you; step back when they’re not needed. Over time, you may build a stronger tolerance.

Practical, wearable relief anytime, anywhere

Life+ is also reusable (up to 100 times), easy to clean, and comes with a sleek metal case so it’s always at hand when you need it most. And just like other Life+ uses, they deliver long-term value without compromising comfort or causing waste.

Quiet life, naturally

Misophonia doesn’t have to dominate your day. Life+ helps you take back control providing a natural, soft barrier against sound storms, while still letting the world in when you’re ready.
