Flying shouldn’t mean painful ears for children. EarPlanes+ Kids are pressure-regulating earplugs designed for children and people with smaller ear canals, featuring the patented CeramX™ micro-ceramic filter that slows rapid cabin-pressure changes during take-off and landing — giving the ears more time to adjust and reducing the discomfort, popping and pain that can ruin a flight.
With soft hypoallergenic silicone, around 20 dB cabin-noise reduction, and a free smart companion app that monitors real-time cabin pressure, EarPlanes+ takes the guesswork out of when to put them in.
Key Benefits
- Helps reduce ear discomfort and popping from rapid cabin-pressure changes
- Patented CeramX™ pressure-regulating filter
- Smaller fit designed for children and smaller ears
- Soft hypoallergenic silicone
- Approximately 20 dB cabin-noise reduction
- Compatible with the free EarPlanes+ companion app (iPhone & Android)
- App monitors real-time cabin pressure and alerts when earplugs should be worn
- App works in airplane mode — no Wi-Fi or mobile data needed
How EarPlanes Work
Inside each plug is the CeramX™ micro-ceramic filter. During rapid pressure changes, it slows the rate at which pressure changes reach the ear, giving the eardrum more time to adjust — reducing the discomfort typically associated with take-off and descent.
EarPlanes+ App
The free EarPlanes+ app uses your smartphone’s built-in barometric-pressure sensor to monitor cabin pressure throughout the flight. It sends an alert when pressure becomes unstable, letting you know exactly when to insert the plugs. Works in airplane mode without Wi-Fi or mobile data.
- Available for iPhone and Android
How to Use
- Reach over the head with the opposite hand and gently pull the top of the ear upward to help straighten the ear canal.
- Insert the ribbed end of the EarPlane and gently rotate it, like a corkscrew, until a comfortable, snug seal is formed.
- Insert before take-off and landing and leave in until cabin pressure has stabilised, or insert immediately when the app sends a pressure alert.
Children should use EarPlanes+ with adult assistance and supervision.
Replacement
Replace after approximately 4–6 flights. The microscopic pores in the CeramX™ filter can gradually become clogged by dust and airborne particles, reducing its effectiveness over time.
