Due to globalisation in trade and boost in the tourism, travelling across the continent has become a common feature. An air traveller, many times, is subject to many stresses and strains.
KATALIST Safety Systems is a group formed by technocrats. Over decades, KATALIST Group, has dedicated itself to the development of various safety products particularly in the field of personal protective equipment.
We, at KATALIST, have developed CE “LoBel” earplugs from a hygienically acceptable material. They are ULTRA SOFT, non allergic and non irritating. They do not affect the tender ear skin. CE “LoBel” earplugs are available in four attractive and pleasing colours - Pink, Lemon Yellow, Light blue and Milky White. For the first time in the world, perhaps, we have been successful in perfuming the earplugs. Your elite passengers will surely welcome these earplugs now perfumed in four fascinating continental fragrances - Lavender, Sandal, Heena and Jasmine respectively.
So far, airlines have been distributing sweets to chew and cotton wool to passengers to block their ears to counter the problem of negative pressure during take-off. How safe is this? Unaware of the undue pressure, they invariably experience pain on removal of the cotton wool. Gamma Ray Sterilised CE “LoBel” will offer an effective alternative to this.
Besides, CE “LoBel” will also induce them to peaceful sleep or activity with optimum concentration in flight - in spite of diversions like ongoing movie, noise of passengers talking to each other etc. Having taken fancy, retention by users, will automatically propagate - with little extra cost, “your concern” for in-flight services and facilities offered. Space is provided on the pouch to print the name of the airline.
CE “LoBel” earplugs conform to EN 352-2. These are tested at Berufsgenossenschaftliches Institut für Arbeitsschutz – BGIA, Germany. These economical CE “LoBel” have better attenuation than many similar earplugs available internationally.
CE marked “LoBel” earplugs an ideal and dependable noise defender.
In many industries, workers are exposed to a high noise levels. Normal tolerance of human body is about 80 to 85 dBs. The workers who are exposed to such noise abuse, for a long time are subject to irritation, fatigue, loss of concentration, anxiety, disorientation, rise in blood pressure & heart beats & ultimately total DEAFNESS resulting in loss of their efficiency and directly affects productivity.

Airline calls in sleep doctor to cure jet lag
British Airways ups 'battle of the beds' with Virgin
Louie Psihoyos / CORBIS
Several studies have been done on jet lag. The BA study will look at the differences that east-west and west-east flying has on the body clock, amongst other issues.
Updated: 1:58 p.m. ET June 29, 2005
LONDON - British Airways has called in a specialist to find a cure for jet-lag, potentially a dream come true for sleep-deprived frequent flyers.
Sleep researcher Dr. Chris Idzikowski will spend the next six months studying the best way to snooze at 30,000 feet as well as tricking passengers' body clocks to cope with time zone changes.
"There is definitely a way of controlling the biological clock by avoiding or exposing oneself to light, and we want to see if we can find a way of teaching passengers how to do it," Idzikowski said.

The study, which BA hails as a world first, will look at the differences that east-west and west-east flying has on the body clock, at best sleeping positions and the ideal time to take a nap to reduce jet lag.
Devices to block out light, even after arriving at the airport, and recreating the aroma of a passenger's bedroom on the plane are some of the more radical ideas which will be examined.
For long-suffering red-eye regulars, a cure for jet lag may appear to be as far off as a cure to cancer.
In the meantime, Idzikowski recommends a few simple steps. Do not eat too much or drink alcohol during a flight, wear comfortable clothing, and buy a pair of noise-reduction ear plugs.
In what has been dubbed "the battle of the beds", BA and Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic Airways have been trying to outdo each other with new first-class flat bed offerings.
Idzikowski, former chairman of the British Sleep Society, said the study could also provide solutions for the humble economy class passenger.

Non-competitive swimming : For competitive swimming head caps or hoods are used. But, millions do swim for health reasons. Many of them complain that the entry of pool water into the ear causes various health problems. However, swimming is solution to many ailments and therefore it is necessity for many to swim with some ear protection. CE “LoBel” being non-porous shall prove to be the ideal solution to all those who want to do the swimming purely for health or pleasure sake.
Use in aircraft as comfort giving aids during flight :
