EarPlanes Original Earplugs for Adults, Pressure Filtering Protection for Airplane Travel (3 Pairs)

Product Information

EarPlanes claims to alleviate the pressure and silence the ambient noise, setting the stage for a peaceful ride through the clouds. Prices vary most in this category. They can be soft and mouldable or a more traditional ear bud. They tend to be reusable and lighter (although there are harder ones too). when they feel fullness in their ear when taking off or landing, give a baby a bottle and the older child juice or water to drink Hearing is second only to seeing as the most important sense for attaining and ultimately processing information as a pilot. Over time, exposure to loud noises can damage your hearing, creating a critical situation that could require the use of hearing aids, jeopardize your FAA medical certification—or worse, damage your quality of life outside of flying.

There’s no need to pay for an expensive visit to the audiologist to get custom earplugs made; Decibullz allows you to custom fit its earplugs to your ears in less than 30 minutes. The ceramic filter inside each earplug slowly releases pressure as the plane takes off, avoiding the unpleasant ear-popping sensation.

Why Earplugs Help To Keep Flying Pressure Even

Since it so happens that we travel a lot, we decided to review a bunch of different products while up there on a long-haul flight from Heathrow to SFO. Without any further ado, these are the best airplane ear plugs for flying we’ve found: Picture

Use the Valsalva maneuver during ascent and descent. Gently blow, as if blowing your nose, while pinching your nostrils and keeping your mouth closed. Repeat several times, especially during descent, to equalize the pressure between your ears and the airplane cabin. The plane’s rapid rise in altitude causes the air pressure inside the inner ear to increase, making it much greater than the air pressure outside. As a result, this causes swelling of the eardrum, leading to ear pain. Earplugs regulate this change in pressure to reduce your discomfort and give you time to equalize your ears.Make sure you choose ones that state they have the right level of hearing protection. For example, if the DIY noise was 100dB and you wore ear plugs reducing it by 15dB, this should mean you're hearing a safe 85dB.
