Earplugs For Travel
The passengers sitting beside you talking loudly. The kid at the back of the bus playing videos out loud on their phone. Train announcements every five minutes. The hustle and bustle during a flight.
Whether you’re on the morning commute or taking an exciting trip abroad, travel can be noisy. You want to get to your destination feeling relaxed and in control – not stressed and agitated from the noise all around you.
Luckily, there’s one simple way you can take the edge off, whether you’re travelling by car, train, bus or plane: earplugs for travel.
Why are earplugs essential for travelling?
Planes, trains, buses and cars are loud. Some London Underground routes are as noisy as a rock concert, with sound levels reaching a whopping 110 decibels. If you’re flying, the plane can be as loud as 105 dB during take off and landing – and even when you’re in the air, cabin noise sits at around 85 decibels.
Prolonged exposure to noise can put you at risk of potential hearing damage. So whether you’re travelling to work on the tube, or jetting off on holiday, your method of transport could lead to noise-induced hearing loss.
And even if the noise isn’t that loud, it can still be a lot to deal with, especially if you’re sensitive to noise. All those little sounds can build up, causing anxiety, panic attacks or distress.
And it’s not just while you’re travelling. Sometimes when you arrive at your destination – whether it’s the office or a holiday resort – the noise keeps on coming. Construction noise outside your office window. Other hotel guests partying all night long. Whatever it is, it can be hard to deal with.
You might be tempted to put in your earbuds and drown out all the noise by playing your favourite tunes at top volume. But that can damage your ears – not to mention making noise sensitivity even worse.
Instead, let earplugs for travel take the stress out of travelling. They’ll reduce the noise to a safer level, while taking the edge off if you feel overwhelmed.

What makes Loop Earplugs ideal for travelling?
Whether you’re travelling for work or pleasure, earplugs can help you to arrive at your destination feeling more relaxed and less stressed – while protecting your hearing, too.
Want some peace and quiet so you can get to sleep while you’re travelling? Loop Dream earplugs offer up to 27 decibels of noise reduction. That means you can reduce the volume of noise to a safer, more tolerable level, letting you nod off more easily.
Want to chat while you’re on the go, while reducing the sound of overwhelming noises? Try Loop Engage earplugs which offer up to 16 dB (SNR) and 10 dB (NRR) of noise reduction – or the Loop Engage Plus which reduce the volume by a further 5 decibels.
Need to improve your concentration on your commute or business trip, to get those last-minute emails done and dusted? Try Loop Experience, which offer up to 18 dB (SNR) and 7 dB (NRR) of noise reduction, or a further 5 dB with Loop Experience Plus.
All of our earplugs are designed for all-day comfort. They come with a choice of ear tip sizes so you can get the perfect fit for you, and the tips are made from super soft silicone. So you can just pop them in and get on with your journey in peace.
And unlike traditional foam earplugs, which you need to throw away after every use, our earplugs are reusable. Simply wash or wipe them clean, then pop them back in their handy Carry Case – the perfect solution for frequent travellers.

Frequently asked questions

All of Loop’s earplugs are reusable, so you can wear the same earplugs for travel as you do at home or work. Just choose the ones that best suit your needs – or get a pair for every occasion.

Travelling can be noisy, which causes stress, anxiety and fatigue for some people. Earplugs reduce external noise and create a quieter environment, which can reduce sensory overload, helping you to feel more relaxed and less tired.
