Here at AirDrate we understand how bad Airplane Ear can be.
The intense unbearable ear pain in flight, the anxiety this causes before a flight and the spoiled holiday or work opportunities that deafness and ear pain after flying can cause. This is because we either have worked in aviation for many years and have witnessed this, have been sufferers with Airplane Ear pain ourselves, or in some cases, both!
That's why we set out to discover the true cause of Airplane Ear and find a solution, because everyone deserves to fly anxiety and pain free.
AirDrate Rehydrating Ear Plugs are the results of 10 years of research and development from our team of pilots, aerospace engineers, cabin crew, Airplane Ear sufferers, audiologists, scientists and product designers.
The innovative new science we found and documented led to the patented award winning solution that is the world's only registered Medical Device solution for Airplane Ear Pain.
AirDrate enables you to finally fly Airplane Ear pain free and look forward to holidays abroad without any anxiety around ear problems, make those plans to see long lost relatives across the world or further your career by travelling to those meetings that just need to be face to face. But don't just take our word for it, see what our customers say!
The first time ever that I have stepped off an airplane without ear pain and deafness, thank you!
They are amazing! Pain had stopped in less than a minute!
So what is the true cause of Airplane Ear pain and how can you prevent it?
When you fly, the pressure in the cabin changes as you take off and descend. Some human bodies can naturally deal with these pressure changes but due to how we all have unique anatomy, some cannot. The air in the cabin is a lot drier than usual and moisture cannot be added as this can cause eventual damage to the aircraft (and no one wants that!).
The eardrum can dry out and become rigid and for some it cannot flex enough to deal with the pressure changes. The pressure pushing against the eardrum causes the ear pain in flight known as Airplane Ear. The rigid eardrum can be forced against the small bones in the ear and the eardrum can then tear, causing even more intense pain and temporary or even permanent damage to hearing.
Simply placed in the ears 40 minutes before landing or as you need, AirDrate Airplane Ear plugs comfortably and hygienically rehydrate the eardrum without adding excess moisture. The eardrum can then flex and move under pressure, completely preventing the onset of ear pain and resulting hearing loss.
If you usually find your pain starts earlier then ideally make sure you place in the ear before the pain starts. Depending on the level of pain already felt, AirDrate Airplane Earplugs will either stop the pain completely in under 30 seconds, or prevent it from increasing and potentially damaging the eardrum.
AirDrate is the only clinically proven patented product on the market to prevent Airplane Ear pain.
- I‘ve tried earplugs before and they haven‘t worked - will AirDrate work for me?
Yes! Other earplugs are intended to relieve or filter pressure pressure but have been shown scientifically not to work. The earplug would have to be a completely pressurised fit and as soon as you slightly move this fit breaks. AirDrate addresses the true core of the problem and helps the ear naturally deal with the changes in pressure as it should by keeping the eardrum flexible and preventing ear pain during flight.
- My Eustachian tube is damaged can I use AirDrate Rehydrating Airplane Ear Plugs?
Yes! AirDrate works by keeping the eardrum flexible so able to deal with the pressure and preventing ear pain during in flight.
- Are AirDrate Rehydrating Ear Plugs easy to use?
Yes! Just see instructions here.
- Can AirDrate Rehydrating Airplane Ear Plugs help if I have an ear infection when flying?
It is currently recommended that you do not fly at all with an ear infection as it can damage your ears. If you have no choice then some sufferers have reported that AirDrate Airplane Ear plugs stop any extra pain when flying with an ear infection, although ears will still feel blocked and cause deafness if they are already due to the infection. We are continuing to conduct research into whether AirDrate earplugs can protect the ear from damage due to flying with an ear infection so please contact us (link to contact form) if you are regular sufferer who flies frequently.
- Why can’t I reuse AirDrate Rehydrating Airplane Ear Plugs?
AirDrate Rehydrating Earplugs are a single use product due to the innovative materials used as well as for hygiene issues. Once out of the inside packaging they only have a 4-8hr life depending on environment and won’t work if reused after this.
- Do I need to declare AirDrate Rehydrating Airplane Ear Plugs at Airport security?
No! There is no need to declare at security and you can take in your cabin bag with no problem.
- Why don’t AirDrate Rehydrating Airplane Ear Plugs reduce noise levels?
AirDrate Rehydrating Earplugs were developed specifically to prevent ear pain when flying. As aviators we are especially aware of aircraft safety that recommends you are able to hear any safety announcements as soon as they are made.
- Can I wear earphones over the top of AirDrate Airplane Ear Plugs?
Yes! You can put earphones over the top of AirDrate Airplane earplugs with no problem, just make sure you can still hear the safety announcements!
- Why do only some people suffer from Airplane Ear pain and not others?
We believe from our research that people with smaller anatomy of the internal ear workings tend to suffer more. The eardrum is smaller itself, it may dry out quicker and / or have less ability to flex. We are continuing to research into this.
- Why do I only suffer from Airplane Ear on some flights and not others?
As a result of various conditions such as weather, air traffic management and geography for example, every landing has a different rate of descent. The faster (steeper) the rate of descent the quicker the pressure change and the shorter time the eardrum has to deal with this
- So can I just drink more water before and during the flight to counteract the problem?
Unfortunately it doesn’t work like this... A bit like drinking lots of water won’t immediately cure a dry skin problem. It’s always a good idea to keep hydrated with water during a flight anyway though!
- Can I just put water in my ears then?
If you’ve ever suffered from water trapped in ears when flying or Swimmers ear then you will understand why we really don’t recommend this! AirDrate Rehydrating Earplugs use materials and fluid especially developed over many years, so as not to make the ears feel excessively wet with the problems that can cause, yet still rehydrate the eardrum to prevent Airplane Ear pain.
