Original Adult EarPlanes by Cirrus Healthcare Earplugs Airplane Travel Ear Protection (1 Pair)

Works well:These really work. I bought these for my last vacation which included many flights. Normally, I would have been chewing gum and trying to clear my ears on each ascent and descent. With these ear plugs my ears cleared on their own - no gum, no yawning, no holding my nose and blowing. If you have the same trouble, I highly recommend these. Also, the product recommends disposal after two uses but they worked for all 9 of my flights!

Worked perfectly! No ear popping whatsoever on my flight!

I can’t even begin to describe how much these have saved me. I have chronic sinus issues and every landing was so painful I would cry and felt like my head would explode. I bought these out of desperation but oh my gosh these completely eliminate the pressure pain!! I never travel without them, would probably not board the plane without them. They can be reused a few times, but for sure effective the first time and less so the next few times. Fits me really well (female adult), and very comfy and easy to wear.Make sure to place them about 40 minutes before estimated landing and don’t remove until maybe 20-30 minutes after landing. You won’t feel any pain and won’t have full/plugged ears after landing this way.

When I first read the reviews for these, I was extremely excited about them. For me, when the playing is taking off my ears are perfectly fine so I don't need them for that. I only have a terrible experience when the plane descends. My ears will go through excruciating pain once the flight hits the 45 minute mark before landing. My ears would pop really bad to the point where tears are coming out of my eyes. After I get off the plane, I would try to just hold my breath, pinch my nose and blow into my nose. That never worked for me and it made the pain a hundred times worse. The first time I did it, it made my ears really bad and I never did it again. My ears would still be bad for a whole week, which makes the trip less enjoyable.Ever since I tried EarPlanes, they've helped a lot. The thing is, my ears still do pop but it's not as bad as before. I put these on 1 hour and 15 minutes before landing just because I get nervous if they don't work. You can definitely put these on 45 minutes before, or whatever other reviews suggest. I noticed that when the plane hits the 45 minute mark, my ears are still perfectly fine. The ear popping begins at the 20 minute mark. This time, the pain was only a 3 on a scale of 1-10 (but please keep in mind that everyone has a different pain tolerance). I was really surprised how it reduced the pain for me. I take it off right when the plane hits the ground even though the box says to take it off after you leave the plane. My ears still aren't clear though. However, when I go to sleep the night I arrive and wake up the next morning, my ears are perfectly clear.So to summarize my overall review, I will continue to use them because they definitely do reduce the pain for me and my ears get better the next day vs. not using them and having to go through a week of bad pain. I honestly can't travel without these.How I Put It Inside- for my personally, I had no trouble putting them inside my ear. For example, I would use my left hand to hold up my left ear, then I would use my right hand to insert the item. After awhile, I just started to screw it inside or just insert it in. Whatever method I used, the results would still be the same.How Well I Can Hear- I can still hear the announcements, but I can't hear the passenger next to me. However, it doesn't matter to me since I put it inside my ear around the time the flight attendants are done passing out condiments and I don't usually make conversation with other passengers. If anything, I would just nod or give them some sort of gesture that says "yes please" or "no thank you" in terms of them asking if I need water or a snack.

I was not convinced these would actually work, but guess what? They worked GREAT!!! I had to fly with a cold, and my ears were very full, yet using these prevented me from having a painful experience on take off and landing…worth every cent spent on them! They were super easy to put in my ears and felt totally comfortable once inserted. I put them on when the plane was getting ready to take off and once we reached cruising altitude, I put them back in the nice case they come in…reinserted them once the announcement was made that we would be getting ready to descent for landing. I also used them on the return flight (my cold was gone then), but they kept my ears from that “full” feeling that often happens on flights when you take off and land. I will DEFINITELY be bringing these along on all future flights! The box says you can use them for 2 fights, but I think I will try them for one more flight, and buy a new box to bring along, too…WORTH IT to me for certain!

My ears always have issues for a few days after being in a plane. Someone recommended these and I was a bit sceptical. Boy I was wrong. These work!!!!! After a long plane hoping vacation to South America my ears never once bothered me. I will always have them on me for plane rides.

I have chronic eustachian tube dysfunction and I flew with NO problems. I cannot guarantee that these are singlehandedly the reason but I walked off the plane with zero problems. I quite literally got the eustachian tube dysfunction from barotraumic injury from flying 3 years ago.The earplanes themselves did feel uncomfortable to wear. I wouldn't say painful, but they are hard and stretch open your ear canal. I personally had a shorter flight so I didn't take them out when we hit altitude. They definitely act as ear plugs and reduce the noise around you. I was able to sit and read, despite the row behind me being full of young children.I highly recommend them. I was very afraid of the ear fullness that I typically get from flying but I experienced none of it.

Very comfortable. Eliminated ear popping
