Mack’s Flightguard Airplane Pressure Relief Earplugs – 26dB NRR, 33dB SNR – Comfortable, Safe, Travel Ear Plugs for Flying Air Pressure Ear Pain, Ear Popping and Noise Reduction

I ruptured my eardrum in January and still letting my ears heal. I got these to protect my ears from the pressure of flying as to not aggravate the healing process. They worked wonderfully. No pressure, no pain, very comfortable, stayed in place, and I could still hear my surroundings perfectly.

These work really well for traveling on planes at first I use to get migran and ear pains and with these Earplugs I can finally enjoy traveling they fit perfect and easy to remove and reduce noise.

I love these earplugs. They are definitely better than earplanes. However, I did notngive 5 stars because on some flights I do still feel the cabin pressure. Not as intense, but it does still hurt. I did download the earplanes app that tells you when to insert and remove the earplugs (I wish Mack's had this) and it helped a bit more, but not all the way. I hope Mack's releases a pair that can remove all pressure. I am happy overall though especially due to the value for the money. They are very durable and not too big, making them easy to insert and remove. These definitely helped to ease my flying anxiety due to my ear pain. Thanks Mack's!

Full disclosure: I wear ear plugs on planes because my ears ITCH when planes are landing, not because I suffer from more serious issues. If you are like me and just want to help alleviate annoying feelings, keep reading. If you have sinus issues or suffer from more than merely annoying discomfort, you might want to start with the bad reviews.As I stated, my ears tend to start itching when planes are landing. It often doesn't go away until the plane has landed and I pull out a q-tip to scratch inside my ears. It's not great to do in public but I hate it when my ears are itchy. I bought Ear Planes for my last flight and found that while they did help regulate pressure, the plugs themselves caused my ears to itch. So I tried these instead for a trip this past weekend.I found them to work very well. My ears still experienced popping but I didn't have to yawn or swallow a lot of chew gum to get them to pop. I had no ear pain, and the plugs themselves didn't make my ears itch. I also found them easier to put in than Ear Planes. I will definitely be using the Mack's ear plugs again and will throw the others away. For me, it's an easy choice.

These worked great! No ear pain while flying. You can hear others and they equalize the pressure through out the flight. Easy to put in. I have tried others and I think these are the best!

Worked very well. I normally get blocked ear for at least couple day after an international flight. My flights include at one leg that is longer than 15 hrs. This time with the ear plug, my ear block did not happen.I used it thru out the flight. The noise was reduced while I could still have a full on conversation. Granted it was little muted but the noise reduction did have an impact on my sleep positively. After few hours I did take it of for a couple of hours as it got a little uncomfortable. Then I put it back before the plane start descending as that is when air pressure starts to increase.Worked great for me. Hope it works for you.

I have had trouble with flying my entire life, my eardrums always feel like they are rupturing during the final descent of each flight. I’ve used the ear planes version of these that sometimes help slightly but generally still get excruciating pain at some point during the descent. I found Mack’s on Amazon and got a pair. They are magical. I was on three flights recently, all of varying distances/time in flight, and barely even had discomfort! No pain whatsoever, I had no idea flying could be so carefree. If you have ear pain on flights, buy Mack’s. Happy flying.

Definitely noise reducing but still had ear pain
