Do you suffer from ear popping, blocked ears or pain or pressure on your ear drums when taking off or landing?
Do these air pressure changes on take off and landing make you feel dizzy or nauseous?
Have you suffered from temporary hearing loss or headaches as a result of air pressure changes?
Colds, blocked sinuses or hay fever can make things worse and can also cause tinnitus to appear to get louder.
For your peace of mind, just put on a pair of CIRRUS EARPLANES in your ears prior to take off and take them off when you reach cruising speed, then put them in again just before landing and you will find that you've got rid of any discomfort on take off and landing once and for all.
And just in case you find the noise of the engine or the chatter of passengers too distracting, you could simply leave them in your ears because CIRRUS EARPLANES are soft and breathable so you could comfortably wear them right through your flight.

Description:
Developed by the House Ear Institute in Los Angeles USA and tested by US Navy Aviators at the Miramar Naval Air Station in San Diego, CIRRUS EARPLANES work by regulating the rate at which air moves into and out of the outer ear, giving your inner ear time to compensate for changes in pressure that cause the ear blocking and popping and pain experienced by many people.
CIRRUS EARPLANES consist of two elements, a soft inert silicone earplug and a ceramic pressure regulator. The earplug has four circumferential rings, which provide an airtight seal between the earplug and the ear canal. The ceramic element is a controlled porosity filter one end of which is exposed to the external cabin pressure with the opposite end exposed to the sealed chamber formed when the ear plug is inserted in the ear.
As cabin pressure changes, a pressure differential is created across the ceramic filter thereby causing air to flow through the filter. The filter acts as an impedance to the flow of air into and out of the ear canal. CIRRUS EARPLANES provide an equal but opposite impedance on the exterior of the middle ear neutralising air pressure differences to provide immediate relief.
CIRRUS EARPLANES also act as noise suppressing ear plugs. With an NNR of 20dB, CIRRUS EARPLANES allow you to hear normal speech and things like flight safety announcements, but take much off the edge of background noise, particularly noise from aircraft engines.
With CIRRUS EARPLANES you can concentrate better, read or sleep and wake without blocked and painful ears for a comfortable anxiety free journey.
According to research, 30% of all airline passengers regularly suffer from ear pain or discomfort and of the remaining 70% around 50% will experience occasional ear discomfort.
Some people are more sensitive to air pressure discomfort than others. That's due to the physical differences in their ear drums. So for some, it's merely a nuisance, but for many others it causes physical pain and discomfort and ruins what would otherwise be a pleasant flight.
The ear is a complex sensory system composed of three fundamental components, the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The middle ear is a closed cavity that starts behind the ear drum and extends into the temporal bone to the inner ear and contains the small ossicles or bones which conduct sound to the inner ear.
The middle ear closed cavity has a vent tube into the throat called the Eustachian Tube. Because the body is continuously absorbing air in the middle ear, the Eustachian Tube automatically opens when swallowing or yawning naturally and unconsciously every three to five minutes or so, to vent any potential air pressure building across the ear drum.
In flight, where there are significant changes in air pressure at take off and descent, the Eustachian Tube often doesn't have time to react to these sudden and large air pressure changes and can be aggravated further by colds or sinus inflammation, which inflame the tissue at the mouth of the Eustachian Tube and prevent it opening and closing normally.
At take off, pressure in the aircraft cabin drops slowly so this causes less of a problem than at landing. As the aircraft climbs, the air in the middle ear is at a relatively high pressure and gets blown down the Eustachian Tube rather like releasing the string of a toy balloon.
The greater problems arise when the aircraft comes down to land. Air pressure changes are induced by the aircraft descending at a normal descent rate of around 500ft per minute, but too rapid for Eustachian tubes to adjust.
Under normal circumstances, as the atmospheric pressure increases during descent, more air enters through the Eustachian Tube to equalise the low air pressure in the middle ear to that of atmospheric pressure.
However for many people, these sudden air pressure changes during a descent can cause the Eustachian Tube to become blocked or sometimes even locked shut. The small muscles in the throat which normally open, are not be able to do so, thus preventing air from entering the middle ear.
When this happens, pressure differences between the outside and the middle ear build up, forcing the ear drum to bulge inwards and resulting in popping, ear pain or barotraumas, dizziness, nausea and even temporary hearing loss.
