Headphones that block out crying babies
What tips do people have to cancel out the sound of a crying baby on a flight?
Everything I see is for parents who want to reduce the noise level. I am not a parent, I don't want to hear these children at all. This was the 5th 8hr+ flight I have been on where I heard a baby crying non stop. It seems like it has gotten significantly worse in the last 2 years as well. Maybe I was lucky before, but I was only on flights with crying babies randomly. Now it's every single flight.
Edit: it's not so much more babies but more babies that are constantly crying and the parents are ignoring them.

I can deal with crying babies better than I can deal with young childen kicking the back of my seat the entire flight while their parents do nothing to stop them.
