Have you ever wished you could turn the volume down on your kids?
I’ll be honest… I often actually wear ear plugs around the house because the sound of my kids playing, watching TV, bickering etc. is too overwhelming. But when the folks at Lucid Audio emailed me with a far better solution, I just had to share it with you. They’re sending me a sample to try out and giving a pair to one of you!
One of the challenges of motherhood is the constant multi-tasking from the moment we open our eyes until we go to sleep — and the constant melee of sound that accompanies mom life.
A mom’s world isn’t black and white, on or off… especially when it comes to sound. As we shift from work to parenting, spending time with our friends, to bringing our kids to their after school activities — it can be a challenge to focus and hear what is most important when all of the sounds that make our lives so chaotic, crazy and full of love come at us at once.
We bear and nurture our precious children and coax their first words out triumphantly but soon secretly long for a way to—how to phrase this delicately, turn their sweet voices down! Like Austin Powers, our kids can sometimes have difficulty controlling the volume of their voice, not to mention their toys; (especially those with broken volume knobs), can sometimes overwhelm your ears. Other times, when it is a little too quiet and you need to hear what they’re up to, you wish you could turn up the volume to hear what they are getting into.
In the midst of all of this, you are getting stuff done on your phone, tablet, or laptop while managing life the rest of your families’ lives. No wonder all we long for is a little control.
Hey Moms Guess What? We Can Hear Better!
For the first time you can hear more of what you want, and less of what you don’t.
It may seem hard to believe… but Lucid Audio is empowering moms to control sounds from their phone calls, music, phones, or videos while simultaneously controlling how much they hear of the world around them.
Lucid Audio has created a family of personal sound amplification products (PSAP’s) that range from infant and child protective HearMuffs — to soothe the little ones or perhaps block out the occasional comment or songs you don’t want them to hear—to AMPED Bluetooth devices like the Hearing Headphones and HearBands to the Enrich PSAP, an affordable over-the-counter hearing device you can pick up/order for your mom or mother in law so you can have the peace of mind knowing she can safely watch (and hear) your kids.
Designed for people with dynamic lives, Advanced Lucid Technology allows you to hear more of what you want, less of what you don’t.

The dog, the TV, the phone, the washer/dryer.. it all makes a ton of noise.
Def my kids! They never stop arguing lately!
Too many people in my house, they all are too noisy
What bothers the most is when I am trying to do my online classes or homework and the TV is on and the radio and everyone is talking loud and playing.
tbh, the TRAINS that run night and day around here.
My kids love playing games on their tablets, but I can’t stand to listen to the music over and over
Early morning lawn mowing does get me 🙂
TV is definitely a challenge with the noise
Kids yelling and other people talking or watching tv themselves.
When my husband plays music loud, that is distracting!
The kids arguing and bickering is what drives me up a wall more than anything!
The kids constantly fighting is incredibly distracting.
My husband gaming is the most annoying noise ever.
love this!!
I have to say early morning lawn mowing bothers me 🙂
For me, it’s a tie between constant television and a shrill dog. I’m doing my best with the dog, but can’t control the tv now that my sweetheart is retired. 🙂
When my neighbors stand outside and talk, I hear it all. I can’t make out what they’re saying, but it is distracting.
My husband lol
The tv is the worst distractor. If it were up to me it would go.
The screaming of the kids distracts me the most.
I would have to say the grand kids are the noise around our house
around my house its..the kidsyelling…the dog barking..the neighbor kids yelling outside
oh gosh, its so frustrating because the most distracting thing is my kisd wonerful exuberance for life… EVERYTHING is loud and insistent! “i’m hungry!” I’m tired!” “this one time i had WATER!!!”
Mainly dog noise. We live in a vert dog friendly area but the barks come with it!
hubby’s snoring 😉
The loud cars speeding down the street and a loud TV
My mothers nagging, soooo need to tune her out, help !!!!!
The sound that bothers me the most is when my husband is at his computer and listening to music or talking to people while wearing his headphones. He cranks the volume up SO LOUD that I can hear the music or the people talking all the way in the other room! I keep trying to tell him the purpose of the headphones is so that HE can hear it without everybody else having to listen to it, lol.
the kids arguing definitely distracts me
I live in the city so cars honking when there is traffic annoys me
The most annoying sound are airplanes we live near the airport
The Tv plus the games they play on the tv!
The video games drive me crazy. He will have his ear piece on talking to other players. Between the two its soo annoying. I would love my own head phones to block it out sometimes.
When my boys play minecraft online with their friends. They can get pretty loud!
The bedroom door has wide slats because it’s wooden so I can hear everything that goes on outside of my room, from the washer and dryer to the back door opening and closing to footsteps back and forth in the hallway. It would be great to be able to tune out whatever is going on, especially in the mornings before I get my first cup of coffee
I have trouble sleeping, and I don’t want to keep my man awake with whatever audiobook I’m in the middle of, so these earbuds would be perfect. Less for the cats and I to get tangled in. Otherwise, they would be great for long walks while I ignore traffic and enjoy an audiobook.
I live in the city and the most noisy thing has to be the traffic. Its horrible and goes on day and night.
My kids screaming distracts me the most.
The TV noise distracts me the most around the house.
I would love to use these for working out on the treadmill during the day. I like to listen to music while I’m exercising.
the tv is the most distracting to me!
Thanks for the marvelous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it, you can be a great
author. I will be sure to bookmark your blog
and may come back in the future. I want to encourage one to continue your great work,
have a nice weekend!
The TV sound can get a little annoying.
I have a horrible time sleeping. Any light or noise wakes me.
The sounds of children bickering! Like nails on a chalkboard.
I hate the sound of my husband watching videos on his phone at top volume while he has the TV on at the same time!
TV noise and outside noise of neighbors in their yards is distracting the most for me
subscribe email: slehan at myway dot com
I’d like to turn down the screaming.
Thanks for the contest.
i would say it would have to be the tv,,its just distracting at times
I think I find really loud talking the most distracting.
There’s a lot of construction around my house these days, so I need a pair of headphones to help block out some of the most horrendous noise on the planet. These headphones look like they’d work great!
We have 4 adults living in a very tiny home right now. Even little things like letting the fridge door slam is irritating.
I guess the most distracting sound in my house would be the Tv.
For me it’s the kids always fighting. lol.
I think the TV is quite distracting at times.
I think I am cutting the cable cord this summer so my kids can stop being distracted from an activity at a time.
The neighbors loud music and bickering at night and the insomniac owl in the mornings.
The tv volume drives me crazy as a bat. My husband desperately needs a hearing aid. Everytime the kids or anyone walks in the room he sends the tv blaring because he can not hear over them.

I’d say that it’s mostly TV.
Ther neighbors tvc and stereo are a HUGE distaction!
What distracts me is loud music and booming voices 😉
The noise that bothers me most is hearing the television and someone’s music at the same time.
My kids arguing is the noise I usually have.
I really need these. I have a hard time with noise
The train!
i would use these everyday when i go running so i can not here the loud construction noises
If they go into landfills, the phones and their batteries introduce toxic substances into our surroundings.
It would have to be the noisy neighbors entertaining. They are just plain loud.
The tv,loud music and bickering.
There’s always noise in the house that distracts me, from the kids bickering and fighting to my husband yelling at the tv during a football or basketball game, to my son playing online video games! I’d love to be able to block out some of it, lol.
I would say the TV!
Oh man, it’s definitely the TV noise that bothers me the most… These could turn my kitchen time into a true oasis!
The airphones would be perfect to help cancel out the noise of the summer construction going on in my neighborhood.
Asking questions are genuinely fastidious thing if you are not understanding something totally, but this piece of writing offers good understanding yet.
My son plays video games online with his friends from school but I can hear him talking and yelling and it drives me crazy.
It’s the noise that my dog makes that bothers me the most…the barking, toy squeaking, running back and forth growling at the neighbor’s cat, LOL
these would be amazing esp. Outside
What’s up to every one, it’s truly a nice for me to pay a visit this web page, it includes useful Information.
My husband watching sports bothers me the most lol.
My kids’ arguing annoys me!
My dogs barking every time the train goes by.
listening to my neighbors bickering and slamming doors bothers me the most.
Some of the youtube videos that my son watches
I have learned to tune my kids out. Does that sound awful? I have four and this has become a necessity at times. The TV is distracting when I’m working on homework.
The sound in my house that bothers me most is our water heater.
Hands down it’s the bickering that’s the most bothersome. TV and video games are just white noise to me but something about bickering. 🙂
thanks!
Our cat licking himself.
I would say the annoying noise is the neighbor’s kids that are screaming as they run around playing in the yard.
I would use these while I cut grass to get rid of the mower noises.
The TV, my girlfriend always talking on the phone, the dryer downstairs, the dishwasher..
Mostly the tv.
My kids make a lot of noise, playing and singing.
kids and the tv
Snoring is #1 and neighbor’s singing #2!
The noise from a television turned up too loud due to elderly grandparents and hearing issues bothers me from time to time.
I get frustrated when the kids ask me the same questions over and over and over when I’m in the middle of doing something important – like cooking our dinner. Often, I answered them the first time they asked, but they keep asking in hopes I’ll give the answer they want to hear.
The most annoying sound is around our house is the sounds of train tracks rattling about 3am.
The most annoying sound is when your children are all grown and out of the house with their own lives. Being a mother of two adult daughters when they arrive with my 4 year old granddaughter the most annoying sound is them saying goodbye.
Bickering is the most annoying noise as well as the tv.
The bickering always distracts me, I’m always called out to become the mediator! It drives me nuts and I can’t get anything done.
thE NOISE THAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST IS WHEN WE ARE WATCHING SOMETHING ON tv AND THE KIDS ARE WATCHING SOMETHING ELSE, VERY LOUDLY ON THEIR PHONES.
I’m getting ready to go on a trip and these headphones would help to block out noises on an airplane.
