Right? And if we combine that with the rise of online shopping we get so many return shipments that get discarded or thrown out. Thank you for stopping by :)

@@atailorsblog I wanted to add that to my comment as well but it was to much to text

Yay, greetings from Austria ( = same but without kangaroos ! ) Haha :D have a great day and thank you for stopping by! :D

Hello! I'm sorry to hear that. I cannot imagine what Tinnitus feels like. I don't think the Calmer earplugs are right for that. They only lessen certain frequencys and I don't think they'll offer sufficient protection to you. Perhaps noise blocking 'festival' or 'concentration' earplugs could help? There are some which still allow for normal conversation yet block enough to 'dampen' harsh sounds. I think there's still space for technological Innovation as well, but I cannot recommend any headphones at this point. I have Sony one's that have a conversation mode they switch to if you start to speak but it also goes off when I blow my nose and that can be quite jarring. I hope you find some relief and I wish you all the best 🤗

No, really not. It does get a bit chuffed and somewhat dirty from the ground on the bottom corners, but there haven't been any obvious or abnormal staining. I am starting to find the bag too impractical and not suited for heavier things so I've been thinking about doing a follow-up to soften/lessen my recommendation. Just FYI.

Most certainly the kid's screaming is right in the frequencies the calmer do not reduce. You can look the frequency scale / diagramm up on their website. I was at the airport last week and they did nothing for me, as I needed broader reduction. At work, inbetween sewing machines and computers I love them still.

Yes. They are rubbish, and youve been ripped off ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LSnnilUeGO0.html

Yes! I did get a late ASD diagnosis a few years after my initial doctor's appointment to check my hearing and I'm sure one could say that I have APD or more broadly, sensory processing disorder. I don't have that descriptive a list of names and symptoms as I'm working with a therapist and our work is much more outcome- and happiness-oriented than diagnostic. Thank you for your comment!

I'm not sure if those are a good fit for you. They only limit certain frequencies and voices can be understood quite well. There is no filter inside - it's just a differently shaped tunnel. I'd suggest you either try noise-blocking ones for sleeping or some with a fliter that still claim to let you hear others for conversation. Those may just be enough to let you communicate in peace. Thank you for watching!

So was it actually worth it?

@@DubRod yes absolutely. After usage with the aluminium lined versions for a while my ears start to ache, but doesn't happen as much with the other version. Definitely both have a massive affect on what I hear, and the pro versions filter it somewhat different from the regular version

Thank you for letting me know. It is really important that creators get that kind of feedback! I am still trying to evaluate how bad it really is, as the first time it was pointed out was a few weeks prior to your comment and I can't replicate it being as bad as that person claimed. I was wondering if you had any pre-set sound profiles on your headphones that may be directly opposed to mine. I think I still edited that in Adobe Premiere Rush which offers limited Sound mixing capabilties but I'll check the sound levels in DaVinci Resolve, next time I get around to do some editing. Thanks again 😊

@@atailorsblog I watched it again at night with no other sounds around and the content is very good, thank you. I listened to it on my phone the first time after having listened to other videos and was unable to understand it compared to the others. I did not use headphones. You will grow with every video, so please continue 😊

Thank you so much. They will come in November / December. I had some major carreer advancements and finally finished evening school so I paused my channel for some time. However, I didn't stop looking out for new ideas, so stay tuned. 😊

I'm so happy you found out what's right for you. You are very welcome! Thank you for sharing 😊

Thank you so much for your comments. I'm sorry I didn't receive the notification on time. I personally saw many videos of the 814 (lower Zoom factor) as well. When I bought mine from a retired photographer his dad started talking about the camera and they told me that all their friends had bought it because to them it was the best. Sometimes I check his retail site and he regularely lists 1014s for sale so they really must be that great. I must confess, I temporarly stopped filming Super8 shortly after that video because I moved and wanted to save up for a Sony Full Format camera, which I've just bought. Online you can find the original manual. It is very helpful. I tried to do some fades but they didn't work out as intended, so I have some reading to do. The good old millenial way of just pressing buttons really doesn't work with older equipment. I also have a Leica R8 and I was so terribly clueless :D. As for superimposing. I would not know how to go about it with this particular camera. I bought an Elmo 103 t without the super imposer device (someone sold it for 20€), so I roughly understand the method but I don't know how I'd apply it to the Canon. I know I could also film white titles on black background, rewind and then film the scenery. That I have not tried yet. I'd love to hear your thoughts and plans on superimposing. Have you gotten the Ektachrome Footage back already? I shot most on 50D, but think I should have gone for 200T more often.

@@atailorsblog I did shoot the Ektachome footage but still haven’t sent it in. I’m currently saving up for a Bolex H16 REX 3-5 model 16mm camera. And this is a pretty pricy camera that will take me a couple months to save for. So the next footage I’m sending in is some footage I made on a Bell and Howell 16mm camera (then the super 8 ektachome). I don’t know when I’m going to film with the 1014 and try all those effects honestly.

I am happy I didn't wait any longer to send it in because I learned a lot from reviewing my material, so if it's not too outrageously expensive to send some tapes already, I would do it. I love the look of 16mm film, it's actually my favourite, but I'll keep to my super8 and digital cameras for now, to learn. Several years down the line, I'd be curious to maybe rent 16mm cinema cameras. I would love to take the 1014 with me on my travels but I'm scared of using it in less... middle-european countries. It does turn a few heads among security personnel and the police because it looks quite threatening and I don't want to find out if people are as chill elsewhere. I still have some half-finished tapes lying around for which I didn't mark the point at which I took them out and I'll put them into my ELMO and film a timer to check if it's lagging or not. The elmo would make for a good travel companion. Or I'll just go with native speakers and have them talk to Security about me being an art student.

@@atailorsblog yeah I know how awkward it can be taking some cameras in public places. I have a Bolex Super-8 camera that looks too much like a firearm…the places I’ve took my cameras I got reactions from older people “Wow I haven’t seen one of those in a long time!” People ask me if they’re still making film for those. I don’t get a chance to travel to other places beyond my immediate area because me and everybody else is too busy working we just don’t have the time.

Thank you!

Damn, you must feel really cool about that comment. Tell us, what's that like? *-*

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad I managed to make my point as I intended; this is really not an easy topic to cover and I was worried about potential misunderstandings.

If I understand your question correctly, no, not really. I think the 'hearing your insides' comes from the blocking of noise, but those ear pieces have a hole in the middle so thats not an issue. Pressure changes from chewing also don't occur because of that however, sometimes the Calmer moves when chewing and one can hear the friction in the ear canal. Hope this helps :)

@@atailorsblog thank you! This really helps! I tried the loops and that issue but I will be more than happy to give these a try too, much appreciated and keep up the great work 😁😁

Thank you very much! 😊

So far I haven't had any problems yet. I will do an update on this bag as I've fallen out of love and I don't recommend it as freely as I used to anymore.

Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I cannot weigh in on how the Calmer work for tinnitus but I wish you lots of relief and lessening of your symptoms. Have you contacted them via e-mail? Maybe they can find a way to send it to Brazil.

@@atailorsblog thank you for your kind message. I had a tinnitus spike this weekend, that’s why I started searching for some alternative treatment, but it went away and I’m feeling much better now. I’ve also seen some treatments with hearing aids, so I’m willing to try it out and see which one really works. I contacted them yesterday, but unfortunately they don’t do it because of some delivery issues in the past and my best bet would be buying it from Amazon US - much more expensive though :(

Fala Daniel Tô pedindo o meu pela Amazon

@@DanielLucena13 I’d say no help for Tinnitus, but I guess I have a chronic one…😢

Good catch. I used it to scare away a fly. 🙈 Skip to 'outtakes' at the end, if you want to see a woman ready to kill. I did edit the part, where I made a total fool of myself, out though...

No. From my experience, this is not the case. It is more for high pitched background noise such as loud refrigerators, computers or in my case certain sewing machines. What I've been doing a lot to decrese the overall volume of the sounds surrounding me, is to cut a foam earplug in half and carefully place it at the entrance of my ear canal (make sure you can remove them). This enables me to still hear signals and people greeting me, but it also cuts down on background noise a lot better than the Calmer. Hope this helps!

@@atailorsblog thanks. I’ll try. I hope it helps

Much better to use proper isolating earplugs designed to create silence. These aren't designed for sleep, they are for being able to hear things normally during the day, but just in a way that's less aggravating for those of us wkth sound sensitivity.

Do stop hurting your ears with loud noises! Wear protection! Hearing loss makes you sad

Sorry for being super late, but I just discovered some sort of bug so that I didn't get all comments. I honestly would not recommend the Calmer for ear protection. Even if you think that they help protect them they only cancle certain frequencies. I'd imagine you could cause a lot of damage to your ears with lower frequencies by thinking you're safe because the more obvious hights were blocked out. Thank you for watching :)

@@atailorsblog great to hear that! Thank you for replying 😊

This is so true! Getting up and going to work has become so much easier since I capsule-wardrobed my workwear. That also simplyfies shopping and size selection when one has fewer styles.

I don't think so. If one finds it helps that's great but I would not recommend them as a solution to only that. If you look at the graphs at their website, Calmers only reduce the highest frequencies and chewing sounds have lower sounds to them as well.

@@atailorsblog It lists on their advertisements that it is in fact for misophonia and they have section where they recommend using at mealtime.

Thank you for stopping by :) I personally still don't believe so. They also list conversation but I find it harder to distinguish words when the high frequencies are reduced. There's definetely many pros to the Calmers and I still stand by my review, but they are not a cure-all.

No, it doesn't work for my misophonia. I bought them because the website said that it's helpful when you have autisme, misophonia. I have both and also tinnitus. I don't like the earplugs at all.

Thank you for sharing your experience! They do seem to have a slightly smaller area of use than the manufacturer would like to admit.

You can still definetely hear others but your understanding may be limited in certain scenarios. As I mentioned, I believe that some of the higher frequencies the Calmer reduces could have helped me understand people a lot better in noisy environments. If you do not usually struggle with conversations you won't notice too negative an effect, and that will be limited to when there's background noise. I want to point out again, that I found the Calmer Night slightly dizzying, so keep that in mind when making your decision. Wishing you all the best :)

By design it's technically possible for water to enter the bag through the gaps you spotted. I never had problems with that and I never feared damage to my belongings. It's definetely worth considering if you are biking or walking in areas of heavy rain. But then an upper-price range leather bag with the weight distribution issues I mentioned may not be the right thing for you, regardless of those gaps.

@@atailorsblog Thank you! I just love leather bags and live in a very rainy country... Cannot find a win-win solution, can't I?!

@@signealvarez7457 i mean, out of all leather that I own, I would trust the pebbled type of my bag most when it comes to water. The main problems with leather getting wet are stiffness/dryness, water stains and smell. So make sure to read up on waterproofing leather, always leave it to dry fully at room temperature!!! (I once fell asleep with my peccary gloves in the boiler room and I thought I had ruined them - they were like paper) and then really go for sth sturdier and make it a habit to carry an umbrella or poncho with you. I'm sorry, I don't yet have the experience to recommend specific types of leather or products, so please let me know when you find sth that works for you :)

I had soaked my maestra bag in water and surprisingly it did not get ruined. Still looks good as new. So I say this bag is really quality.

Happy to hear! I think when it comes to wetting leather the main goals are to avoid it becoming too dry, avoid water stains and too keep its shape. When washing leather gloves I add glycerin to the water and use very little detergent. My shoes I treat with wax or special water proofing to avoid staining. I did get a bit of staining on my ice scates where the blade is attached to the sole, so maybe cutting edges are more vulnerable to it. Always dry leather products slowly, away from any heat. Drying it in a hot spot will give it paper-like texture. I tried that one for you... Edit: or maybe don't soak them next time lmao :D

Thank you so much, Annika!

I'm happy my video helped you. :) I chose standard size based off the assumption that my ears are average more than anything else. I would however factor in how in-ear headphones fit you, your general head and ear size. They do have a money-back guarantee but keep in mind that they are in the UK which has now finalised Brexit. I hope youtube lets me post this link to their return page: flareaudio.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/43000491571-flare-audio-returns-refund-policy I hope you find the right size for you :)

Happy to help! I'm glad you liked it :)

Ahhh thank you so much! haha I didn't even think of that, I was so insecure about sounding monotone :D

@@atailorsblog Your voice is perfect! I hope you make more videos. :)

@@AnnikaOrne thanks a lot! More are on their way :)

For me the selling point was the backpack straps and the compartments. I did briefly consider modifying the bag but I really enjoy the backpack style and with other brands offering that as well I just wanted to keep the re-sell value high. So far I have not yet chosen a different bag but it's not off the table with the weight distribution issues being the only reason. As for the latter - sometimes when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, wearing my long trench, the backpack and head tilted back because my glasses slid down, I do look a little like two small Clarissas trying to get into the cinema on one ticket. But I'm cute. And it's better for my neck, so..

Thanks a lot Maria! It made for a great video to start with and I'm really excited to be doing RU-vid. :)

Thanks a lot for stopping by 💛
