A pressure controller that relieves ear discomfort during takeoff and landing. Because of the rapid change of pressure during takeoff and landing, the ear is unable to cope with the change, which in turn makes the pressure inconsistent with the outside world, resulting in ear discomfort, which varies from person to person, and is even unpredictable every time you take a flight. By pressing the device to change the way of pressure, it can relieve the Eustachian tube can not respond in time during takeoff and landing, through this device can let the Eustachian tube open smoothly in the right direction, and at the same time, it can relieve the discomfort of the ear, and the way of pressing the device during takeoff and landing will be opposite, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing the pressure.It can be used without electricity to balance the pressure in the ear and can be reused many times. Simply replace the earplugs in front of the device and use simple pressure to balance the pressure inside the ear.

Issue

It is inevitable that we have all experienced ear discomfort when flying, especially during takeoff and landing when we are prone to tinnitus, ear congestion, or ear pain, all due to changes in cabin air pressure. The tube in the ear that connects the middle ear to the throat is called the Eustachian tube, and its function is to neutralize the pressure between the middle ear and the throat. When an airplane rises to a higher altitude, the air pressure outside decreases and the pressure in the cabin adjusts. As the air pressure in the cabin varies greatly, the pressure inside and outside of the ear varies, resulting in tinnitus and ear congestion.

Promlems

A. Experiencing pain or discomfort in the ears when taking off or landing in an airplane.

In addition to adults who experience stuffy ears during takeoff and landing, as many as 65% of children have experienced ear pain or discomfort during takeoff and landing.

B. Eustachian tubes not able to adapt to the pressure in time

It can cause ear discomfort and pain during takeoff and landing. Changes in pressure can cause the tympanic membrane to tighten and, in very rare cases, rupture. This can cause pain in the ear, a feeling of stuffiness or a thumping sound in the ear.

Concept

A pressure controller that relieves ear discomfort during takeoff and landing. Because of the rapid change of pressure during takeoff and landing, the ear is unable

to cope with the change, which in turn makes the pressure inconsistent with the outside world, resulting in ear discomfort, which varies from person to person, and is even unpredictable every time you take a flight.

By pressing the device to change the way of pressure, it can relieve the Eustachian tube can not respond in time during takeoff and landing, through this device can let the Eustachian tube open smoothly in the right direction, and at the same time, it can relieve the discomfort of the ear, and the way of pressing the device during takeoff and landing will be opposite, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing the pressure.It can be used without electricity to balance the pressure in the ear and can be reused many times. Simply replace the earplugs in front of the device and use simple pressure to balance the pressure inside the ear.

Description of Pressure Factors

Under normal circumstances, the pressure in the outer and inner ear is balanced, and the eardrum separating the outer ear canal and the middle ear maintains its normal tension and curvature. However, if the pressure on one side is too high and the pressure on the other side cannot be adjusted to counterbalance it, the eardrum will be abnormally concave, resulting in discomfort and even pain.

Description of Pressure Factors

RED:Pressurized Air Direction (Takeoff)

With pressure, air enters the Eustachian tube from the outside of the capsule with the device, resulting in a smooth expansion of the Eustachian tube.

BLUE: Pressure air direction (landing)

With pressure, the air inside the ear is allowed to escape from the ear with pressure, causing the Eustachian tube to subside.

How to use

01 Put the product in your ear

02 Pressing the product during takeoff allows air to enter the ears.

03 Rotate the purple color to the landing mode.

04 Pressing the product during landing allows air to escape.

Applied Relationships

When the airplane takes off, the Eustachian tube contracts. By pressing with this product, air can be smoothly introduced into the Eustachian tube, achieving balance in the Eustachian tube.

When the airplane is landing, the Eustachian tube swells. By pressing with this product, air can be smoothly expelled, achieving balance in the Eustachian tube.

Product detail

A.Pressure Airbag

Press to inflate, soft silicone material, removable for cleaning and reusable.

B.Air inlet

When pressed, air enters and exits.

C. Gas Passing Device

Pressurized air enters and the unit can be removed for cleaning.

D. Shell

Wraps around the outermost part of the ear to direct gas toward the ear.

E. Earplug

Same as headphone soft plugs, can be worn up to the ear.

Human Factors and Materials

1. Inflatable materials 2. PP (Plastic) 3. PP (Plastic) 4. Silicone

The overall size of the headset was developed with the addition of a pressurized airbag, so the overall size needs to be slightly enlarged in order to meet the target of the required air intake.

Competitive Analysis

Compared to current flight earplugs, this product is reusable and can be used according to the user's current situation, eliminating the need to wear it throughout the entire flight. Additionally, this product does not produce any side effects. In contrast to the practice of some individuals taking medication in advance to facilitate the flying process, which can be disadvantageous as ingesting medication can have long-term negative effects, and such medications often require a prescription from a doctor. Therefore, it is not recommended for frequent flyers to continuously rely on this medication.

Relational system

Users can effectively introduce air into the Eustachian tube and balance it during takeoff, and efficiently extract excess air from the Eustachian tube during landing to achieve equilibrium. This helps reduce discomfort in the ears caused during takeoff and landing.

Purchase Target

The expected target customers include long-haul flight passengers, elderly travelers, airplane crew members, and children flying on planes. Therefore, it is suitable for all passengers who travel by airplane.

Relational system

A. Improve ear discomfort during landing and takeoff

The device allows the pressure inside the ear to change in time during takeoff and landing, reducing the discomfort caused by airplane ears.

B.Eustachian tubes can change pressure conditions through external forces.

Pressure is used to change the internal and external pressures to ensure timely adaptation to landing and takeoff to protect ear health.

C. Enhance the quality of takeoff and landing of passenger aircraft

To make the passengers no longer suffer from the agony of landing and taking off and landing of airplanes, so that they can have a comfortable landing and takeoff process.
