Sleep with sound on purpose

Sound at night does one of two jobs: it puts something between you and the noise, or it plays over the top of it. AERÉ makes both. The only real question is how much of the room you still want to hear.

“The thing in my ear hurts by morning.” Most earbuds are shaped for a commute, not for a whole night against a pillow; anything that stands off your ear ends up pressed into it the moment you turn over. AERÉ Halo sits over the ear instead of in it. AERÉ Under does not go in your ear at all — it goes under the pillow.

“It goes quiet before I do.” A machine that stops at three in the morning is worse than no machine. Runtime will be printed in hours on each product page, and not before the factory has put it in writing.

“A snore goes straight through.” Two ways to answer it: put something in the way, or play over it. AERÉ Slip sits inside the ear and is shaped to be slept on. AERÉ Diamond stays out of your ear entirely and sits on the nightstand instead.

“You can hear it loop.” A short file on repeat becomes something you start listening to. AERÉ Diamond runs more than thirty sounds, and you choose which one the room hears.

“I don’t want something in my ear every night.” That is what the machine and the under-pillow speaker are for: sound in the room, nothing in the ear.

Plugs, earbuds, a speaker under the pillow, a machine on the nightstand. Same job at four distances from your ear — the further out it sits, the more of the room you keep.

None of this is a medical device, and none of it treats anything. It is sound, at a level you choose, for the hour before bed.
