ADHD earplugs
From busy shopping centres to noisy restaurants, and from a bustling bus commute to open-plan offices, there’s barely a quiet moment in our day to day lives.
And for people with ADHD, all that background noise can make it even harder to focus, whether you’re at work, trying to study, have a mountain of household chores to contend with, or simply want to read your book in peace and quiet.
But there is a way to take the edge off the background noise, helping you to stay calm and in control. We’re talking about earplugs for ADHD.
Benefits of earplugs for ADHD
ADHD affects everyone differently. Some people have the inattentive type, while others have hyperactivity – and each comes with its own unique set of symptoms. But one thing that’s common across both types of ADHD is the struggle to focus in environments that are filled with distractions.
Noise can be a particular distraction. At social gatherings, you might find the loud music and multiple conversations overwhelming, leaving you feeling stressed and grumpy.
Or if you’re trying to focus at work, the constant chatter of colleagues and regular interruptions when people rock up at your desk unannounced can make it difficult to focus. You might find yourself losing track of what you were doing, be unable to prioritise tasks, or keep starting new things before you finished what you were doing.
Or maybe you’re at home, but the washing machine is running, the TV is blaring and you can hear your neighbours through the wall. It’s enough to drive you to distraction – literally.
Earplugs reduce the amount of external noise that reaches your eardrums, lowering the volume to a more tolerable level. When there’s less background noise, your brain won’t be overloaded by different sensory stimuli – meaning that you’ll find it easier to focus.
Noise reducing earplugs for ADHD will create a quieter environment, leaving you less distracted and better able to focus your attention on where it matters. Plus, it’ll reduce your stress levels if you find noise overwhelming, helping you to feel calmer and more in control in any situation.

Why Loop Earplugs are your best option
Traditional foam earplugs block out noise – but that’s not ideal when you need to be aware of what’s going on around you at work, or if you’re looking for a distraction-free way to socialise with friends.
The best earplugs for ADHD filter sound waves rather than muffling them – which is where Loop Experience earplugs come in. They use a patented acoustic channel and filter to reduce the volume rather than cutting you off completely, offering up to 18 decibels (SNR) and 7 decibels (NRR) of noise reduction.
That means they’ll reduce the volume of background noise, helping you to find your focus – while staying in the loop with what’s going on around you. Plus, they’re made with super soft silicone ear tips that come in a choice of sizes so you can get the perfect fit for all-day wear.
And many people with ADHD don’t just struggle with noise during the day, but also find it hard to fall asleep at night. Loop Quiet earplugs help to create a quieter sleep environment to improve your overall sleep quality and ensure you wake up feeling refreshed and in a better state of mind. They offer up to 24 dB (SNR) and 14 dB (NRR) of noise reduction and are made from soft silicone for a more comfortable, peaceful night’s sleep.
