Any earplugs designed for plane travel consist of a small ceramic filter. This filter slows the air pressure shift that enters your ear, placing much less stress on your eardrums. You can continue with those travel plans knowing you’ll be much more comfortable.

Airplane Ear Protection
Your ears often suffer when flying due to abrupt changes in air pressure that occur during flight, a condition known as Airplane Ear. Flight ear plugs relieve you from discomfort by slowing the movement of air in and out of your outer ear, giving your inner ear more time to adjust to changes in air pressure. More importantly, plane ear plugs effectively block out noise, making it easier for you to get the rest and relaxation you so often go without on big loud aircraft. Don't put your faith in the disposable foam ear plugs sometimes provided on the plane; experience an entire pain and noise-free flight with our specialty ear plugs when flying. Most of our earplugs for plane travel are reusable, so once you invest, you’re set for months (if not years!) depending on how often you fly. Our personal recommendations are the Earjobs™ Pressure Release Flying Ear Plugs 2.0 and Alpine Flyfit Earplugs. Most ear plugs for flying are available in both adult and child sizes.

FAQs
Why do I need ear plugs when flying?
Ear plugs help to protect your ears and enhance your personal comfort when flying. Abrupt air pressure changes are common when taking off and landing in an aircraft, with people often experiencing this pressure as discomfort or pain. When you wear specialised ear plugs for flying, you can reduce the symptoms of "airplane ear," including trapped air and fluids, pressure on the eardrum, and a narrowing of the eustachian tube.
Do regular ear plugs help when flying?
Ear plugs come in all shapes and sizes, and are made from a wide variety of materials. While cheap disposable ear plugs can be useful in certain situations, they are not designed to reduce air pressure or discomfort while flying. The best ear plugs for flying are typically made with foam and feature a small vent at the centre of the ear plug so pressure can dissipate slowly over time. Silicone ear plugs can also be useful when flying.
Is it safe to wear ear plugs on a plane?
It is completely safe to wear ear plugs when travelling on a plane. Not only will they help to reduce air pressure and associated problems, but they will also help you to relax and rest in what can be a stressful environment.
When should I use ear plugs on a plane?
Ideally, you should insert the ear plugs before taking off and 30-45 minutes before the planned landing. The air pressure in the cabin rises rapidly as soon the aircraft leaves cruising altitude, so it's important to have your ear plugs firmly in place before the plane starts to descend.
What other ear protection can I use when I am flying?
When flying, there are a number of options for ear protection, including specialised air pressure ear plugs, electronic earmuffs, and moldable silicone ear plugs. While flying ear plugs feature a small vent to reduce air pressure, other solutions are great for noise reduction and relaxation. If you're looking for the best noise-cancelling ear plugs for flying, you've come to the right place.
