Tools for overstimulation

To support people in managing this hypersensitivity, the Functional Neurology Institute (FNI) in Lisse has developed high-quality filter glasses and precision earplugs. These devices are designed to attenuate excessive light and sound, forming a protective barrier while the nervous system heals and regains balance. For many, these devices enable them to return to environments that would otherwise be unbearable—a vital step in recovery and rehabilitation.

Living with sensory overload can be extremely challenging. Daily activities—shopping, socializing, even walking outdoors—may require new strategies and a different pace. But understanding what's happening in the brain is empowering. With a calm environment, gradual sensory reprogramming, and supportive devices like those developed at FNI, the overstimulated brain can slowly rebuild its filters and restore harmony between body, senses, and mind.
