Earphones Support Music Therapy, Breast Cancer Research

The fourth Limited Edition design of chicBuds Swarovski Crystal Retractable Earphones was released on July 1, supporting Breast Cancer Research, adding to the three formerly released limited edition designs, including AIDS Awareness supporting Compassion International’s AIDS program, Lover’s Heart Series for Valentine’s Day and 2 More Hours Star Series supporting stats by the American Heart Association and in conjunction with ChicBlvd.com’s fitness campaign.The Breast Cancer Awareness limited edition design of chicBuds features a Swarovski Crystal-encrusted pink ribbon adorned on the retractable piece (in either black or white casing), complemented with crystals on the ear pieces for a total of 80 Swarovski crystals on the earbuds.Through the end of the year, chicBuds.com will be donating 10 percent of all sales from this design to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to help fund research for breast cancer.In addition, chicBuds.com whose earphones are compatible with any listening device, will also be donating product to those currently suffering from breast cancer … since listening to music helps reduce pain and relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.This is based on the research by the American Cancer Society that states, “There is some evidence that when used along with conventional treatment, music therapy can help to reduce pain, anxiety and relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. It may also relieve stress and provide an overall sense of well being. Some studies have found that music therapy can lower heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, depression, and sleeplessness.”While the founders of chicBuds.com are providing funding to help end breast cancer and are donating a product that will improve the quality of life for those impacted by the disease, they acknowledge that their contribution is just a small piece of the big picture in fighting this battle.
