EarPlanes
relieve ear discomfort on airplane flights
Cirrus Healthcare, a leading maker of personal healthcare products, announces an
easy and convenient way for travelers to ease the ear discomfort of air travel,
especially during the winter cold season. EarPlanes are a patented
pressure-regulating earplug designed to help reduce pain, clogging and popping.
"As the winter cold season approaches, more travelers will be flying with
clogged sinuses and stuffy noses" says Allen Berger of Cirrus Healthcare
Products. "This condition can be made more severe by the air pressure changes on
planes. EarPlanes can help relieve the pain and discomfort of this situation and
also help prevent further injury and illness."
EarPlanes were developed by Cirrus Healthcare Products in conjunction with the
House Ear Institute in Los Angeles, and have been tested by U.S. Navy aviators
at the Miramar Naval Air Station in San Diego. The US Food and Drug
Administration designated EarPlanes as a "Class 1" medical device, and as such,
they may be purchased over the counter without a prescription.
Ear discomfort on flights is caused by blockage and/or swelling of a passenger's
Eustachian tubes. The air pressure changes prompted by the plane's descent are
too rapid for the tubes to adjust properly. However, EarPlanes, provide an equal
but opposite impedance on the exterior of the middle ear, allowing relief.
Discomfort is reduced because the air pressure difference on the exterior and
interior of the middle ear is lessened allowing the Eustachian tubes to function
more normally.
Cirrus Healthcare also offers Children's EarPlanes, which are recommended for
ages 1-11. Designed for smaller ears, Children's EarPlanes provide the same
relief as adult-sized EarPlanes and are pediatrician recommended.
EarPlanes and Children's EarPlanes are disposable and can be readily found at
all major drug stores, supermarkets, large discounters and airport retailers
such as CVS, Walgreens, Eckerd, Osco, Sav-On, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, Target,
Kroger, and many more. For more information, visit
