Turn the world down. Not off.

Hear every passenger. Lose the cabin roar.

Shop the −15 dB · €27,50

A full shift inside a constant drone wears you down long before your feet do. Earproof takes the tiring cabin noise down to a calm, safe level, while passengers, colleagues and the PA stay crystal clear.

It's not one loud moment. It's hours of it.

An aircraft cabin sits around 60–80 dB at cruise and climbs higher on takeoff. It never feels dangerous, but your brain filters that low roar for the whole rotation, and that's the fatigue you can't quite explain at the end of a shift.

You can't wear something that cuts you off from passengers or the PA. Foam does exactly that, so it comes out, and the noise wins.

~80 dB  a whole shift of it
Why it works on board Earproof's flat filter is a volume knob, not a mute button. It lowers the cabin drone evenly, so the roar drops but the sounds you work by — passenger requests, colleague calls, the announcement — stay clear. You stay switched on, just calmer.

Earproof · −15 dB filter

A light filter that takes the edge off the constant drone while keeping every announcement and passenger word fully clear. Small, reusable, and discreet enough for the floor, shift after shift.

The things crew actually ask

Can flight attendants wear earplugs during a flight?

Filtered plugs only lower the volume, they don't block you out, so you stay fully aware of passengers, the PA and colleagues. That's what makes them suited to cabin work where foam isn't. Always follow your airline's own crew procedures.

Can you still hear passengers and PA announcements?

Yes. The flat filter lowers the volume evenly instead of muffling, so requests, colleague calls and announcements stay clear, just calmer.

How loud is an aircraft cabin?

Around 60–80 dB at cruise, higher on takeoff. Not dangerously loud in a single moment, but a constant roar for the whole shift, which is exactly what drains you.

How much attenuation do I need?

A light filter around 15–20 dB is ideal for aviation: it takes the edge off the drone while keeping speech and announcements fully intelligible.

Are they discreet enough for the cabin?

Yes. They sit flush in the ear and are barely visible, so they're unobtrusive while you work.
