The go-to if you have problems with your ears
These earplugs have been an absolute game-changer for me when flying. I recently had an issue with my ear which caused pressure build-up in my eustachian tube and was experiencing discomfort but the ear plugs helped control the pressure. I recently used them on a long-haul flight, and the difference they made was remarkable. The earplugs are easy to insert and fit comfortably without causing any irritation, even when worn for several hours. They effectively reduced the ear pressure that typically bothers me during flights, making the experience far more pleasant. And headphones can also be worn over the ear plugs, so you can still watch movies, etc. What I particularly appreciate is how these earplugs manage to balance sound reduction, you are still able to hear announcements somewhat. They don’t block out all noise, but they significantly lower the intensity, which is exactly what you need in a noisy airplane cabin. The compact packaging is another plus, making it easy to slip them into a pocket or hand luggage. The fact that they’re reusable adds great value as well. Overall, the earplugs are a fantastic solution for anyone who experiences discomfort due to pressure changes while flying. They’ve made my flights so much more comfortable, and I highly recommend them to all frequent travellers.

Impressed
I suffer from sore ears every time I fly. The pain travels all the way into my jaw. My ears crack for days after a flight. After reading the reviews I thought I would give these a try. I was a little apprehensive about how to insert them without damaging my ears, but it was very easy. I put them in before taking off and kept them in for the 2.5hr flight. Whilst it didn’t completely stop the pain, it was considerably more bearable. The worst of the pain only lasted a few minutes, just before landing. But it was nowhere near as painful as it used to be without these plugs. I removed them once the plane door was open. I definitely recommend these, and i will repurchase.

Helped to some extent
I wore these on a 2hr 30mins flight and wore them during take off and 30 minutes before landing. I've always struggled with terrible ear pain on flights, to the point I'm stuffing my face in my coat and pretending to sleep because I don't want anyone to see me crying. It completely ruined the excitement I had to ride on planes and travel. I took these out at cruising altitude to watch a movie and listen to music, because otherwise I get easily bored. On my first flight, my ears didn't hurt but were still really blocked, and didn't pop completely until a few days later. However, on my return flight I chewed some gum and used the ear plugs, and I had no pain whatsoever, not even fullness or discomfort! It is slightly irritating because you still have to yawn often, chew gum, eat etc to prevent pain or popping, but as long as you're happy to multitask this definitely works. Good price for what it does!

An absolute must have.
As someone who used to scream the plane down and cry my eyes out ever since I was little when flying, these have honestly been a game changer for me. The pain used to be that bad that I would happily never get on a plane again, but these little things have made a huge difference to me. It was always be the descent that would cause me the most pain, but after using these the past few holidays I’ve had significant reduction. I used to have both ears building up and doing that horrendous fizzing/crackling noise when finally popping, multiple times during the descent, whereas now I find that I either have no pain or it is just one ear that has a build up once and then doesn’t happen again. I have small ears and the size is perfect. I was worried they’d be too big but you can “screw” them to your desired fit. I use one pack for a holiday to travel there and back in. I think you can use multiple times as they are reusable, but I’d rather get a new pack for each holiday just to ensure I don’t go through that awful pain again. I have tried another brand of aeroplane pressure plugs before but they made very little difference to the pain. These however are a life saver!

WHERE HAVE THESE BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!
Have spent the better part of several decades being violently ill during and after flying and nothing any doctor has given me has helped the "air sickness". Turns out that's cause I'm not getting motion sick, I have sensitive inner ears. Put these in before take off and an hour before landing - absolutely fine. I actually ate on the plane. Life changing. Not going to lie to you, it feels weird as all hell to screw something into your ear. And yes, your fellow passengers will look at you like you're insane. BUT! these are easy to put in, easy to take out (yes, you'll still need to pop your ears a bit by yawning/chewing gum etc) and the sheer JOY of not spending the 24 hours following a flight in the loo is 1000% worth every side-eye I get while twisting these into place.

Easy to fit plugs
Just used in 9.5 hours flight . It did actually work . Remember to keep them on 1 hour before landing .

Best of the bunch.
Pretty good. I suffer quite badly from popping, painful ears during ascent/descent of planes. Tried several types of earplugs, the worst being the putty like plugs. These were quite effective though not perfect, though this may be due to timing when I put them in.

Didn't work
I tried these on my last 2 flights and first one ears still popped really bad and had pain and on return I made sure they was in as much as they could and it wasn't as bad but not sure if it was because of these or not but was disappointed really because of all the good reviews and was hoping I could finally fly with know discomfort but unfortunately they didn't work but I will try them again on my next flight.

Bon achat
Les bouchons s'insèrent facilement, ils couvrent les bruits dans l'avion, ont fortement soulagé le mal à l'atterrissage et les oreilles ne restent pas bouchées en sortant de l'avion. Je conseille de mâcher un chewing gum en même temps pour rééquilibrer la pression

ممتاز
كنت اعاني من الام الاذن بسبب ضغط الطايره وساعدني لكن لابد ان تلبسها قبل الاقلاع ليوازن الضغط وقت الاقلاع والبسها قبل الهبوط ليوازن الضغط

Mai più dolore durante il volo
Dolore alle orecchie ad ogni atterraggio così forte da voler urlare , mio marito mi ha acquistato questi tappi e finalmente ho viaggiato rilassata e felice. Consiglio di masticare anche una gomma. All' andata non l' ho fatto e ho avvertito un lieve ovattamento durante l' atterraggio. Al ritorno masticando non ho avvertito proprio nessun fastidio... Gran bella invenzione!!!!!
