New Super Soft Adult EarPlanes® Ear Plugs Airplane Travel Ear Protection 3 Pair

These things. They changed travel for me. I don’t fly much, so I reached almost 3 decades of life before realizing that I have inner ear problems that cause excruciating pain during flying. My last flights before these resulted in so much discomfort and blocked ears (hearing loss) for 4 days after landing. Awful way to experience Disney World. The flight home was worse because I picked up someone’s sinus infection while vacationing. Tears streaming down my face as I chewed gum and drank water and ate cookies and worked my jaw and pulled on my ears and tilted my head at all angles to alleviate the pain. The poor pilot seated next to me making a connecting flight tried his best to ignore me, and I kept checking my ears because I was certain they were bleeding. It was really bad. And my ears were then blocked for 9 days after landing at home. Then I started planning a dream vacation for my husband and I, and realized I had to find a solution because I REFUSED for that time to be negatively affected by my ears. These are not a complete solution for me, but they are absolutely a key factor. I put them in before takeoff (as we taxi away from the gate), take them out at cruising altitude, and put them back in 45 minutes prior to landing. I made the mistake of keeping them in for 4 hours during our flight to California and my ear got inflamed and made it harder to suction/balance pressure for the landing flight. There is a very good chance I force them into my ear too far, and my ears definitely got inflamed because I get pushing/twisting them to make them more snug through that time. In addition to these, I use decongesting nasal spray and have a pill form decongestant (that is safe to take with the nasal spray) for emergencies. While ascending, I felt the pockets of pressure kind of “popping” out of my ears. It very weird but also extremely satisfying because you can feel them working. Descending was rougher for me (I think it’s just my ears…), and I had some remaining air block in one ear, but that popped within a couple of hours rather than days. In total, these things got me through the following flights: Boston to California, California to Maui, Maui to Denver, and Denver to Boston. I will soon be using them from Boston to South Carolina and South Carolina to Florida, then back. I’m not exaggerating to say that I don’t think I could physically fly without these. The nasal spray is also a huge help, as is eating and drinking. As a side note: you have to use over the ear headphones with these. I have Airpod Pro Gen 1s that I sadly couldn’t use with these, but I purchased Sony WH-1000M4 (which are *chefs kiss* and phenomenal value for their now couple-of-years-old price), and they worked great at like 70% volume. My husband kindly communicated for me with the flight attendants. If you’re on the fence, please try them. They are pricey but totally worth it if you also suffer from excruciating ear pain and don’t want to undergo surgery or even go on a medication or something.

These ear plugs saved me!! On flights I always fear my ear drums are going to rupture from all the pressure. It’s that painful! With the EarPlanes in, my last flight experience was completely different. I had no pain at all! I will be using these anytime I fly going forward.

I have ETD and i flew my first flight Dec 2025. I used this along with Sudafed and Afrin. It helps so much and felt no pain!

At the risk of sounding like a paid actor (I'm not lol), these things work! I went on a plane for the first time last year without knowing how bad it was going to be. My ears were popping to the extreme and it was so painful and very scary even. When I got to my destination I could barely hear anything to the point where I could not have a conversation with anyone. Even when I came back I could not hear for weeks and I had severe ear aches and constant popping. Well this year I decided to try the earplanes and they worked extremely well! I put them in my ear before take off and pretty much kept them in the whole time because they also help with sound. I will say that sometimes during the flight I held them in with my hands because I experience a little popping but was only a few times, like two or three. My ears are super sensitive so someone else may not have this issue. But I will say that my ears felt 95% better than last year. I could hear perfectly well when I got off the plane and was not in pain or discomfort. On my way back which was a 4-Hour trip I experienced a little more popping but it was seriously only 3 to 5 times and it was very minimal. I came home with a very slight earache but nothing compared to what I experienced last year. On the flight they work so good I literally started crying and I had to look away so people couldn't see that tears were coming from my eyes. I prayed and thank G*d in heaven that I found this product. I feel like my ears were saved from certain damage and discomfort. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because I still experience a tiny bit of popping but like I said it was very minimal. If you have super sensitive ears like me I highly recommend this product.

I’m obsessed with these. I’ve had lifelong issues with my ears and airplanes and often go mostly deaf for at least 24 hours after a plane ride - until these. I’m shocked they don’t charge way more for these - I’d paid 10 times what I paid for these, they are that good. I’ve had no pain or loss of hearing after or during any plane rides. I’ve only had to use one pair so far on 5 rides and they still have more rides left. Extremely flexible and I don’t think it would be a problem for it to fit snugly in any person’s ear. Super easy to use - the app really walks you through everything.

لا توجد أي فائدة من المنتج وضعته في أذني في الطائرة و لم أستفد بأي شيء حيث شعرت بالضغط الجوي و شعرت بألم الأذن و بعد نزولي من الطائرة كانت أذني مسدودة لا أنصح بالشراء

I have very bad airplane ear- worst pain of my life especially during descent. Chewing gum, yawning, eating, taking pain meds, decongestion meds, pinching nose and blowing, hot towels all did not relieve the pain when going on an airplane. I have bought this brand prior when I was a kid and it did not work, probably due to the size of ear canal and not fitting it in so that it is a tight seal. I am now an adult and used these earplugs on the airplane and it resulted in NO PAIN AT ALL. Just make sure you follow the instructions on how to wear them: put them in so that it is tight before the plane door closes, you can take them off when the plane has reached its highest altitude- keep them on even after the seatbelt signal comes off as the plane continues to ascend slowly after that (ask the flight attendant or check on the screen to see the exact altitude the plane is at), make sure to put them in again prior to descent, put them on prior to when the seatbelt signal comes on as they gradually descend prior to that. Or just keep the earplugs on the whole flight as they block out a lot of sound too. Overall very pleased with this purchase and will keep using this brand

I loved them worked great no pain in ears! Inserted before door closed and depressurized . PEFECT enjoyed entire flight . Took out when landed

I bought these as i have a serious issue when i travel in airplane. My ears gets blocked & they pain. But this did noting to prevent both. Rs 200 ear plugs works better than this. Don’t buy.

These ear plugs are amazing best thing l have brought , did a six week holiday overseas , l few 11 times . And every single time l had the ear plugs in . I didn’t throw any of them away , just cleaned them every few days and wore them again . So l probably wouldn’t get the 10 pack again cause you can just re use them over and over again . But saying that l am very happy with these , no ear pain at all . Put them in 1/2 hr before l flew and then took them out about 1/2 later when we where in the air , and then put them back in 1/2 hr before we descended down . Can’t fault these at all , one very happy customer . Will be using these again and again .
