The product, in the report: Flare Audio Calmer sound-sensitivity device
On October 10, 2026, I was wearing a Flare Audio Calmer sound-sensitivity device in my ear at a concert when it became lodged in my ear canal. I could not remove it myself and sought assistance at the concerts ENT tent. Emergency personnel there removed it using tweezers, and it was quite painful. The experience was frightening and required outside assistance to resolve.
I reported the incident to Flare Audio on October 11, 2026. The company acknowledged what happened and suggested that a different model might offer a better fit if I have larger ear canals. After I provided proof of purchase, the company declined an exchange or refund because the products were purchased through Amazon and were outside Amazons stated 30-day return window.
I am reporting this because the product became lodged during use and required removal by personnel at an ENT tent. I am concerned about the potential for ear-canal or eardrum injury if this happens to another user, particularly during attempts to remove it. I would like the CPSC to evaluate whether the products design, sizing guidance, and warnings adequately address this risk.
