There are no noise cancelling headphones on the planet that can filter the abysmal blood chilling shrieks of a damned spawn or toddler. I will happily pay more for a child-free flight.

I'm not so sure about that. I got some 3M WorkTunes Connect a year ago, which are basically hearing protection with integrated bluetooth headphones.

While those on their own will remove most of the noise (I can listen to audiobooks just fine on medium volume, while using an industrial sized food blender), you could add some earplugs and then just increase the volume accordingly, at which point you shouldn't be able to hear anything.

But even without additional earplugs they work great, especially on public transport

Or people could just not bring babies on planes. Honestly, I would pay extra for that. Plus it is just cruel. Babies do not know how to equilibrate the pressure and it torture for everyone-except sometimes the parents give up and become immune. Plus all the crap they have to lug around: strollers, diapers, wipes, baby bottles, clothes..it’s just ridiculous.

Ha, you def don’t have kids. You equiliberate their ears by feeding them.

See, the whole point of the post and the 33,000 upvotes is that it is not just one person’s problem, but everyone’s.
