How many times can EarPlanes be used?

EarPlanes are designed to be used on one round-trip flight. Just put them in before takeoff, remove them when you get to the maximum flying altitude (if you like you can just leave them in throughout the flight) and put them back in about an hour before landing, for a comfortable, pain-free flight.

Sleeping with earplugs is generally safe. However, regular use does come with some potential risks. Over time, they may push earwax back into your ear canal, causing a buildup. This can cause issues like ear pressure, tinnitus and temporary hearing loss.

Sit away from the engine.
Seats in the front rows are farthest away from the engine and therefore better for your hearing. However, if you have to sit farther back in the plane, choose an aisle seat as they are several decibels quieter than window seats.

The window seat is much noisier. Not only are you getting the sound blast from the jet engines and propellers, but there's also the rushing air from outside. The best place to sit is toward the front of the plane, anywhere past the wings. This will give your ears the best chance of protection.
