Most people are likely unaware that a part of the population suffers from a constant ringing in their ears, usually caused by destruction of the tiny hair cells in the middle ear. This can be caused by infections, toxins, or loud noises like gun shots or rock concerts. On top of a number of ear infections suffered as a child, I was poisoned by cobalt from an ill-conceived hip implant about nine years ago. Instead of going quiet when they are destroyed, the hair cell anchors begin to emit a constant tone. The effect on the sufferer can range from minor nuisance to unrelenting torture, depending on the severity to the injury.
I have what I suspect is a moderate case. For me, it is worst in the stillness of night. The constant ringing can actually interfere with sleep. Many sufferers, including many who don’t even recognize what they are suffering from will turn on a fan at night to mask the ringing. I have done this most of my life. A few years ago, anticipating a cruise in Europe, I was looking for ways to provide this ‘white noise’ without having to pack a bulky fan that would be useless because of its need for standard American voltage. I knew something of white noise generators, so I began to search. I found a spiffy unit that cost more than twice the current price of the Dreamegg. It looks like a little a little radio, with lots of knobs and buttons. Thus did I learn of the advantages of the sound generator over the fan. It uses much less power, is more compact, and won’t chill you if you don’t need it.

The Dreamegg D1 has just become available. Looking for a more compact unit that was also easier to travel with, I got myself one. I am extremely happy with this unit! First, the size, look and feel of it. It is round, smooth and compact; though small it feels substantial in your hand, firm, not flimsy. All controls are incorporated into the seamless top panel. Clearly labeled, they can be located simply by feel as the switches are beneath indentations in the panel. The controls encircle a pleasant night light; something that my more expensive unit lacks. The nightlight is adjustable; either constant, or “breathing mode” which I haven’t tried out yet.
The sound options are impressive. You can select between nature sounds, white noise and fan sounds, and each of those categories have seven options! Count ’em, seven! I like that number. The nature sounds are pleasant; musical. The white noise and fan sounds come in different keys and textures and you’re certain to find one that pleases your ears. The volume can be adjusted from whisper quiet to too loud, and by that I mean that I can’t imagine that this machine will disappoint anyone by being too quiet to satisfy their needs.
I routinely climb into bed after turning off the light, then reach up and turn on my sound machine. When I first unwrapped this beauty, I imagined that I would need to glue a bump to the on/off switch to find it easily in the dark but here’s the thing: The Dreamegg is heavy enough and sits firmly enough on the bedside stand that it is not easily moved, so the on/off button remains at the two-o’clock position consistently; easy to locate.
For my travel needs, the unit is very compact and occupies only a small corner of my suitcase. The power cord plugs into a USB port, so it can be easily supplied by a small USB/AC adapter, or plugged directly into a USB port which can be found in most hotel rooms these days. I assume USB ports in Europe are the same as American ones, so you encounter no problems coping with the voltage difference.
I cannot address durability yet. That requires time. This attractive unit would incorporate harmoniously into a nursery and though the instructions caution you to keep it dry, it looks like it is likely water resistant to some extent. I have yet to find anything to complain about with this unit and am very happy with this purchase.

Love this machine. So great for my daughter AND myself. I can’t sleep without it now. Better than the other ones we tried. Noise is so soothing, easy to use. Highly recommend

I have been thinking about what to write in this review since I got it because it such a great product for so many reasons. I would really recommend it.

I have had chronic insomnia for at least 25 years. Then I developed a nervous system disorder and now my nervous system does not shut off and it’s very difficult to sleep. If I do fall asleep, the slightest thing wakes me up and jars me just enough that I cannot fall asleep for hours if at all again that night. I cannot nap during the day and so if my sleep is ruined during the night I can’t make it up during the day. On top of this I am an extremely light sleeper. I swear if a mouse farts in the Barn it wakes me up.

I have had to sleep with a fan on for my entire adult life. This is really a problem in the winter and in small bedrooms. Recently I moved in with someone with small children who scream a lot. The screaming really sets me on edge and stresses me out and increases my anxiety. Which then makes sleeping harder, etc etc. aside from all that I also am an introvert and need alone time just to myself. I love my family but these are the things I need. This thing is WONDERFUL and exactly what I needed!! It goes loud. Loud enough for what I need, but most of the time it’s on less than half volumn. I don’t know if it would drown out the rave next door type sound, but it covers a lot. I still hear percussive sounds but they aren’t as jarring either. I have also been sleeping deeper than usual. It creates a peaceful little cocoon so that I can relax and have the best chance at sleeping. The volumn goes from very quiet to very loud so it’s easy to find the best setting for my needs.

Now the sounds themselves. I am very picky about my “fan” noises. I did not think the fan sounds sounded authentic, but they were all pretty nice sounds and no breaks, they were continuous sound. But because none sounded like my actual fan, I couldn’t use them. They were nice though, and I think they would work for most people. The white noise sounds were also great and I found one that lulled me right into being relaxed enough to sleep. It’s perfect and my go to setting now. The other sounds like chirping birds and rain were also pleasant and for someone who just needed a little help relaxing or refocusing at bedtime those are nice too. I just didn’t find them to be constant-every-second coverage that I need. But there are so many sounds total that there should be something for everyone.

There is also a nice soft glow night light IF you want it, or it has a fade in and out or completely off. I haven’t used the timer functions because I need my sound to run solid till I get up or to drown out the outside world. I did try the time function though and it seemed easy, you tap it and it shows you 30,60 or 90 minutes. It’s also small and so can be put into my suitcase and also takes up little room on my nightstand. The buttons are also slightly depressed so you can tell where the beginning is and count over the number of depressions till you find the one you want to change without having to lift your head to look.

I LOVE this machine and don’t know what took me so long to buy it. It works exactly how I need it to. I don’t think I can ever live without it again! I never thought I could find something to replace my fan but this product filled the bill. I would recommend it.
