Are you ready to take your flying experience to the next comfort level? Let's talk EarPlanes earplugs—the game-changing accessory that promises to make those high-altitude ear woes a thing of the past. EarPlanes claims to alleviate the pressure and silence the ambient noise, setting the stage for a peaceful ride through the clouds.

But what is the scientific reason that some ears clog? “Certain travelers will experience ear pain or clogging due to the pressure-relieving system in the inner ear, which balances pressure on the eardrum (eustachian tubes),” explains Dr. Bob Bacheler, DNP, CFRN, CCRN, flight physiology educator and managing director of Flying Angels, Inc. These earplugs are soft, reusable, hypoallergenic, and have a convenient carrying case! Where Can You Buy EarPlanes? The earplugs are made of hypoallergenic, latex-free silicone, which is excellent for sensitive skin users. This material also filters out 20dB of sound, equivalent to someone whispering 5 feet away. For easy fitting, gently pull the top of your upward whilst gently inserting and turning the ear plug. Insert the ribbed end first. Storage Use a cloth which is middle soapy and wipe the ear plug until clean. Please make sure that water does not enter the central cavity inside the plug as this will hamper functionality. CautionThis is a simple technique that involves blowing through the nose as your nostrils are pinched. If you use enough pressure, you’ll feel your ears pop as air is pushed into the middle ear. This allows pressure in the inner ear to equalize with the atmosphere around and helps the pain go away. Use a carry case and store at room temperature. Pollen dust and moisture reduces effectiveness. Cleaning

While putting them in an hour before take-off and landing is recommended to minimize pressure, these earplugs can also be used during the flight. The ceramic filter inside each earplug slowly releases pressure as the plane takes off, avoiding the unpleasant ear-popping sensation. EarPlanes also has an app available for free on Apple and Android devices. The EarPlanes app measures cabin air pressure and alerts you with a push notification with a recommendation about wearing the earplugs.

Yawning or opening your mouth as wide as you can might make you look a little silly on your flight, but it’s a great natural option that will typically help relieve clogged ears, says Dr. Bacheler.

Whether you've battled ear pain during descent, struggled with pressure changes, or crave a peaceful flight experience, you've probably considered earplugs like these. The only thing that EarPlanes fall short on is the noise reduction rating. This earplug could definitely have a great effectiveness when cancelling out noise, but it does its main job well!

Do They Make EarPlanes for Kids?

Not to be used if there is a risk of the connecting chord becoming caught during use. Flying with tinnitus and hearing somplaints

Flying with any type of hearing condition can be difficult. Experiencing changes in air pressure causes our ears to try and accommodate these changes to equalise pressure. Wearing these ear plugs for flying will reduce this type of discomfort. But do these earplugs live up to the hype? Are they really the best earplugs for airplane pressure? People swear by them—some even call them a flight essential.So if you suffer from ear problems and care less about noise reduction, you should give them a try! My Rating 4.8/5 Pros: When the airplane takes off, and while it lands, there are rapid air pressure changes, causing a change in pressure inside the cabin. The narrow canal in your ear often can’t keep up with the fast change, which causes a very uncomfortable popping sensation. While chewing gum can be helpful, we are always concerned about choking hazards, so we tend to bring along lollipops, which can stimulate oral secretions and pressure equalization,” says Dr. Bacheler. “Lollipops have less of a choking hazard than gum, but you must be careful with anyone who has an impaired gag reflex.” You can insert the earplug like any standard earplug before take-off and while landing. Avoid inserting it too far into the ear or leaving it hanging outside, as this can affect how useful EarPlanes are.
