Directions
Before inserting, pinch nose and blow to clear your ears. For best results, always insert EarPlanes one hour before landing. Remove after landing and when the cabin door is opened.<BR>Chronic sufferers may also insert EarPlanes just before takeoff. EarPlanes may be removed when the airplane reaches maximum altitude and reinserted one hour before landing.<BR>For maximum results, use your opposite hand to pull the top of your ear upward. Insert the ribbed end and turn like a corkscrew until snug.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The only complaint I have is the blue color. Unless you have long hair, wear a hat tugged down, or wear ear phones over them, you will have a bit of an Andorian quality to you until you take them out. Clear or perhaps a couple of flesh-tone options would be great. They have been the same alien blue color for years. Perhaps there is some kind of material preclusion, but I'm pretty sure they are just silicone.
They are likely not perfect for everyone, but if you struggle with pressure changes, they are worth a shot. I paid just over $5 from Amazon, but you can probably still find them at your local <insert prefix> Mart or pharmacy for the same or a little less (first pair I bought about three years ago was $2). You might want to get an extra pair and keep them in your carry on. They are small and slippery and are masterful at jumping out of your hand and into funky little cracks between airline seats.
I recently took a two hour plane trip for two days worth of meetings. I inserted the EarPlanes at takeoff, and I took them out when we landed (I should have left them in until the door was opened though). This, along with the decongestant, kept my ears clear and pain free. On the way back, I didn't take the decongestant, and just tried it with the EarPlanes. Not as good. I had some pain in one ear on descent, however, I was able to chew gum, drink water, etc. to keep it at bay. Now I know - perfect combination for me is strong decongestant the night before, and EarPlanes for the flight. I'm actually looking forward to my next trip!
She tried these and they were very uncomfortable going in (almost painful), uncomfortable to wear (almost painful), but did work on the pressure-related pain on the flight down to see family.
On the flight back she tried Flitemate Pressure Reducing Ear Plugs and they were fairly comfortable to put in, fairly comfortable to wear, and worked perfectly. The Flitemate wins the comparison testing for her.
No matter which you go with, I understand the cleaner you keep them the more uses they will last. Ours has only been used on the first trip so I can't comment any more than that on number of uses.
Feel free to leave a comment with any questions. Hope this is helpful!

I prefer this product for those who suffer with barotrauma
da dolore insopportabile si è ridotto a leggero fastidio. Consigliato
Reviewed in Spain on November 20, 2018
Das Gefühl, da oben in der Luft zu sein und selbst keinerlei Kontrolle über das "Fortbewegungsmittel" zu haben, schafft mich jedesmal.
Aber manche Ziele lassen sich leider nicht mit dem Auto oder der Bahn erreichen.
Also Flugzeug.
Fast schlimmer aber als die Flugangst ansich war bisher der Schmerz in den Ohren und der Stirnhöhle beim einleiten des Sinkfluges.
Dieses Jahr musste ich wieder in den Flieger steigen.
Urlaub stand an und ich hatte schon die Befürchtungen, dass ich nach der Landung mit dickem Schädel auch die nächsten Tage im sonnigen Spanien meine Trommelfelle und somit das Hörvermögen an den Nagel hängen könnte.
So war es bisher jedesmal.
Tagelang taub auf wenigstens einem Ohr und massive Schmerzen während des Sinkfluges und noch Stunden danach.
Das wollte ich diesmal nicht. Was kann ich dagegen machen?
Nach zwei Tagen intensiver Recherche im Netz hatte ich 3 Dinge, die ich versuchen wollte.
1: N`Schluck Alk vor dem Start gegen die Flugangst. Hat funktioniert.
2: Nasentropfen (Für Kleinkinder - die wirken ohne den Geruchs- und Geschmackssinn zu vernichten)
3: Ohrenstöpsel (Speziell für Flugreisen)
Was kann ich über die bestellten "Earplanes" sagen?
Sie sehen in der Tat eigenartig aus und differenzieren sich optisch deutlich von herkömmlichen Stöpseln, die als Lärmschutz Verwendung finden.
Sie sind Unisize. Passen also in der Regel bei allen Erwachsenen.
(Je nach Gehörgang entweder stramm oder lockerer.)
Als ich die Stöpsel dann in meine Ohren gesteckt hatte, drückten die konisch zulaufenden Dichtringe schon recht unangenehm auf meine Gehörgänge.
Definitiv ist das aber besser als die Schmerzen beim Sinkflug zu erleiden.
Und die blieben dieses mal aus.
Keine Schmerzen am Trommelfell und auch nicht in der Stirnhöhle.
Ich weiß nicht, ob es die Kombination von Nasentropfen, Ohrenstöpsel und das gelegendliche Druckablassen durch die Gehörgänge war.
Aber es ging mir gut und das war die Hauptsache.
Damit es euch auch in Zukunft beim Fliegen besser geht, gibt es jetzt eine kleine Anleitung, mit der ICH persönlich meinen Flug komfortabler gestaltet habe.
Wer wie ich Flugangst hat, sollte sich vorher entsprechend wappnen.
Es gibt Tabletten oder Tropfen zum einnehmen oder wie in meinem Fall einfach etwas alkoholisches (KEIN BESÄUFNIS!!) zu sich nehmen.
Eine halbe Stunde vor dem Start Nasentropfen nehmen, um die Nebenhöhlen so frei wie möglich zu bekommen.
(Ich empfehle die für Kleinkinder)
Dann im Flugzeug 40 - 60 Min. VOR dem einleiten des Sinkfluges die Earplanes nach Anleitung einsetzen.
Druck baut sich trotzdem auf.
Der lässt sich aber durch gelegentliches Ablassen durch die Gehörgänge regulieren.
(Einatmen, Nase und Mund geschlossen lassen und den Druck durch das Trommelfell ablassen)
Nach der Landung können die Stöpsel wieder entfernt werden.
Laut Beilage lassen sich die Earplanes zweimal verwenden.
Dennoch bin ich sicher, das geht auch öfters.
Ich habe sie zweimal benutzt und es gab keinerlei Materialermüdung.
Fazit:
Ich kann dieses Produkt von Cirrus empfehlen, da ich beide Flüge bestens überstanden habe und die Stöpsel mit Sicherheit ihren Teil dazu beigetragen haben.
