Description

These Filtered Aviation Earplugs have been developed specifically for pilots, flight instructors and aviation professionals who spend extended periods wearing aviation headsets. Combining custom-fit comfort with specialist acoustic filtering technology, these bespoke earplugs help reduce harmful cockpit noise whilst remaining comfortable under over-ear aviation headsets throughout even the longest flights.

Unlike conventional earplugs, these filtered moulded earplugs are designed to work alongside your aviation headset. The low-profile custom design means these earplugs sit flush inside the ear, eliminating any pressure points and discomfort often experienced when wearing generic earplugs beneath headset ear cups. The result is a more comfortable flying experience, particularly during long cross-country flights, commercial operations and flight training.

Each pair is made from your ear impressions to create a precise fit unique to your ears. Manufactured using our unique soft medical-grade silicone, the earplugs provide exceptional comfort, stability and durability whilst maintaining a secure seal throughout the flight. The custom fit also ensures consistent performance every time the plugs are worn.

The integrated acoustic filter helps reduce exposure to harmful engine, propeller and cockpit noise whilst preserving a more natural listening experience than our Squidgy earplugs, or generic non-filtered alternatives. By reducing overall background noise levels, these earplugs work in conjunction with your aviation headset to create a quieter and more comfortable cockpit environment.

For many pilots, prolonged exposure to aircraft noise contributes to fatigue and long-term hearing damage. These earplugs help to reduce this exposure without interfering with normal headset operation, allowing pilots to remain comfortable, focused and protected throughout the flight.

Easy to clean and built for 5 years of regular use, these custom aviation ear plugs provide a reliable and reusable alternative to disposable hearing protection. Whether you're flying fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, microlights or spending long hours instructing students, this product delivers the comfort, protection and performance demanded by modern aviation professionals.
