What is the difference between EarPlanes and EarPlanes 2?

The same great EarPlanes technology, but softer, reusable, and easier to insert into your ears with our newly-designed stem. Also comes with a tether!

It's recommended to wear the earplugs the entire flight, up until the airplane has landed and the cabin has been depressurized.

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.

EarPlanes EP2: Our testers said these earplugs were super comfortable and easy to sleep on your side, but these plugs didn't block out noise very well. They're better for reducing pressure in your ears on a plane during takeoff and landing.

Alpine FlyFit filters are designed to regulate this pressure like a valve, so your ears can adapt! No more pain when taking off or landing in an airplane. A must-have for everybody who experiences pain while flying.

EarPlanes Earplugs For both pilots and passengers, EarPlanes may be the best earplug to offer relief against pressure changes.

MORE DETAILS

While there is no scientific proof that earplugs actually help with in-flight ear pain, anyone who feels like they are a benefit should continue to use them to relieve their pain. Some other effective methods of reducing pressure include swallowing, yawning, blowing your nose, and chewing gum.

MORE DETAILS

Fluid or mucus sometimes accumulates in the middle ear for a few days after the flight, which may make hearing rather dull for a while. This happens if the Eustachian tube is still blocked, and is more likely if you had a cold before flying.

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.

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.

MORE DETAILS

Many people feel pressure or a blockage in their ears when they fly, especially during takeoff and landing. While this is usually nothing more than a minor inconvenience that resolves fairly quickly, it becomes a much riskier endeavor if you or your child is flying with an ear infection.

Treat congestion before your trip
If you're congested from allergies or an upper respiratory infection, it's important to do what you can to resolve the congestion before you fly. Common treatments for congestion include antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal steroid sprays.

MORE DETAILS

During sudden ascend or descend of an aeroplane, ear cavity pressure is often decreased complemented by an increase in the cabin compared to the outside air pressure. In such a scenario, the unusual stretching of the eardrum or tympanic membrane may precipitate pain in the ear.
