Earplanes (Adult, 12 Years+)

Product Information

You may also experience a minor case of barotrauma while riding an elevator in a tall building or driving in the mountains.

The middle ear has three small bones — the hammer, or malleus; the anvil, or incus; and the stirrup, or stapes.

ear pain can be caused by rapid changes in cabin air pressure in airplanes when taking off and landing. For easy fitting, gently pull the top of your upward whilst gently inserting and turning the ear plug. You might get airplane ear when on an airplane that's climbing after takeoff or descending for landing. EarPlanes earplugs are disposable and are manufactured from latex-free medical grade silicone and contain the unique CeramXTM Filter. There are other types of earplugs - mainly "wax" or "foam" - these are pretty useless if you have severe problems.

As the trip progressed my ears began to pound and was certain that the ear drumbs would burst mid flight. Other people have completely blocked eustachian tube/s (either because of a cold, ear infection or just because they are permanantly blocked) - these people cannot equalise the pressure: they may feel as though their sinuses are about to explode from their skull or that someone is trying to gouge their ear drum out with a screwdriver. These earplugs are designed to be inserted before takeoff and removed after reaching cruising altitude. Any condition that blocks the eustachian tube or limits its function can increase the risk of airplane ear.

Earplanes should feel snug in the ear canal, if plug exudes uncomfortable pressure on the ear canal smaller models are available. These earplugs help to provide protection from ear discomfort when flying by naturally regulating air pressure to relieve ear discomfort, clogging and popping. I went to the doctor and on his recommendation, I have tried the nose sprays and decongestants, but I still have the problem.
