Alpine FlyFit - Earplugs for Pressure Relief & Preventing Ear Pain While Flying - Airplane Travel Essentials - Comfortable Reusable Hypoallergenic Earplugs with Ultra Soft Filter

I got these for my migraines that are triggered by atmospheric pressure changes. I read everywhere that the migraine specific ones were hard and hurt. After reading the reviews on these and hearing how comfortable they are, I decided to give them a shot. I am so glad that I did! They work so incredibly well, and instantly help. You can still have regular conversations, although there is a small level of muffled sound, I have not had to ask anyone to repeat themselves. I forget that I'm wearing them most of the time. I wear them during the initial rise or fall of pressure and then take them out. I don't go anywhere without them. I've even been able to drastically cut down on taking rescue meds. Game changer! Highly recommend for migraine victims! I'm sure they are great on an airplane too.

I’ve written a similar “glowy” review for Earplanes, but Alpine are even better for me! The rest of this is super long, detailing my contrasting experience with each. Lots of you won’t care, be warned, and don’t be mad at me if you choose to read it all 😂 Bottom line: both work. Alpines are better. Context: I’m pretty well-traveled within the US, but only moderately so via air travel since I drive within 12 hours or so. I probably fly somewhere every 1-2 years. About a decade ago, when I began flying more frequently, I realized I was having excruciating ear pain. My left ear is always worse. Is my pain tolerance the highest out there? Unlikely. Nonetheless, there were a few flights where the pain was so bad, I thought my eardrum burst. Wiped my ear to check for blood. Crying while sitting next to a poor stranger. The pain would eventually reduce but hearing loss would last for over a week. I LOVE traveling, so I scoured the internet and discovered Earplanes first. I used them for a few years, including a trip from Boston to San Francisco to Hawaii and back - a vacation literal years in the making. They reduced my pain and hearing loss by probably 85%. I was SO happy, I remember crying from joy because the getaway we needed wouldn’t be marred by so much discomfort. Unfortunately Earplanes were single use only and very uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Their instructions recommended leaving them in for entire flights, but I couldn’t tolerate them for 6 hours at a time. This meant breaking that seal and rendered them less effective when I put them back in a solid hour before landing. They were painful to me, but much better than nothing!!! On a recent Boston to Phoenix trip, I was restocking my Earplanes supply and tried out this brand as well. They’re it for me. Game changer. Super comfortable. So soft. Easy to take out and put back in, and made to do so. (That’s my husbands favorite part so he doesn’t look as controlling when ordering for me from flight attendants because I can’t hear ANYTHING with Earplanes. He uses to get suspicious looks 😂). These did a more effective job of balancing pressure for pain and hearing loss reduction for me. And they’re reusable!!! Huge money saver and a perk for someone kind of crunchy, like myself. They’re going to live in my airplane kit, and I may legitimately buy a backup. All of this said, I did purchase the child size Earplanes to try (perhaps the others are too large and less effective for me). I didn’t even try them, and not sure I will because the price to pay for a product not working well for me is pretty high. In contrast, Alpines completely eliminated my ear pain, and I only experienced hearing loss for maybe 30 minutes before they popped. No meds. Can you tell they’re there? Yeah. You’re wearing earplugs. But they didn’t hurt me. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend these to anyone who had bad ear pain while flying. Whether for work when you need to be in control of your body, or for play when you’re just trying to have a relaxing getaway!! Life’s too short and these are too affordable to just “deal” with that level of debilitating discomfort.

These are the best for ear pressure while flying. In my 20s, I flew from LA to San Francisco and due to the fog, the plane had to circle around for an hour and back then they did not have these types of devices or at that time I was not aware that I needed them! The pressure was unbearable ... like I though my brain was going to explode... bad is an understatement. When I got off the plane, I was disoriented, in total pain and super traumatized. I didn't fly for almost 15-20 years becasue of that experience. Then I discovered the Earplanes. They work well also. and I have tried almost all of the products on the market for ear pressure. I finally settled on these and these are my go to. I've flown with them multiple times from LA to Europe and Asia and domestically within Europe and Asia and US. Perfect. No problems. so no more fear of flying! I always carry multiple pairs for my family and in case I lose one... like I cannot and will not get on a plane without these... they are as important to me as the passport! The reason I like them better than the Earplanes is just for one reason. The Earplanes stick out of your ear while these are contained and have a little tab to grab in order to remove but for a long flight when you want to sleep, these are comfortable and don't bother me. I wear ear pressure protection during the whole flight. I don't remove them until I land. Not taking any chances... total ptsd lol Happy Travels!

I think they really helped! My flight out last weekend, I didn’t have these. Upon decent and landing, my eardrums felt like they were going to burst. My ears were also blocked for almost two days. Flight home was a different story. No pain with these ear plugs and ears weren’t blocked upon landing. I’ll be using these again on my next flight!

Easy fit into ear worked well on test flight up to and decent from 4,500’. Helped equalize pressure evanly in both ears.👍😀

3/21/26 Not for me. One thing is, they hardly block out any noise at all. I was on a plane, and could hear every conversation around me. (Not great for sleeping.) As for comfort, they were so comfortable I didn't even know they were there! In fact, a little too comfortable, as I had no idea if they were in right, or were working, since I could still hear everything. Putting them in is hard, taking them out is a little hard (to find the tiny thing to pull), they just didn't work for me. Going back to the good old standby, but that's a bummer too, since you're only supposed to use them twice. (These, I think, are reusable multiple times.)

Recently flew with a head cold and was concerned as it had affected my ears - these earplugs worked great I didnot experience any pain upon take off or landing

I bought these Alpine FlyFit - Earplugs for Pressure Relief & Preventing Ear Pain While Flying - Airplane Travel earplugs. I’ve been using pressure equalizing earplugs when flying for about 20 years. Started with Earplanes, moved on to Flents for better comfort, and now I’ve found my new permanent solution: Alpine FlyFit ear plugs!! These are SO COMFORTABLE. There is absolutely no discomfort from wearing these. They were so comfortable that I wore them on my flight, in the airport to transfer, and then our connecting flight. I never took them out. They went in very easily and provided total relief from airplane pressurizing. I could hear well enough while wearing them, though they did mute the volume overall. They were very easy to put in and take out. And they are washable/reusable! I can’t recommend these ear plugs enough if you, like me, have problems with ear pain from the pressure going up and coming down on planes. They’re also great if you have clogged ears; they can help avoid major discomfort while flying. These Alpine Flyfits are simply the best I’ve used.

Uzun uçak yolculuklarında gerekli, kulak içi tıkaç. Tavsiye üzerine sipariş ettim ve yolculuğumda kullandım. Tıkaçları koyabilmek için küçük bir kutucuk da ambalajında mevcut. Tıkaçlarınızı kaybetmemeniz ve hijyen açısından kutusunun olması güzel bir özellik. Fiyatı diğer kulak tıkaçlarına göre biraz fazla gibi gelse de yıkayıp tekrar tekrar kullanabiliyor olduğunuz için kendini amorti ediyor.

Li ho comprati per un volo molto lungo perché sono partita con un’otite in fase di guarigione, ma temevo il mal di orecchie in decollo e atterraggio. Sono molto comodi, attutiscono molto i rumori quindi favoriscono il sonno, non ho accusato dolori alle orecchie durante decollo e atterraggio e nemmeno lo strascico di orecchie tappate che a volte capita quando arrivi a destinazione. Si lavano con acqua tiepida quindi si riutilizzano. La custodia è comoda e molto piccola. Li consiglio.

Ich fliege beruflich 2-3 mal im Jahr mit mehreren Zwischenstopps und habe oft Probleme mit dem Druckausgleich, besonders bei der Landung. Ich hatte mir vorher Stöpsel aus hartem Plastik gekauft, aber die fand ich extrem unangenehm und fast schon schmerzhaft im Ohr, deshalb habe ich mir jetzt diese hier gekauft, und konnte sie letzte Woche auf insg. 4 Flügen ausprobieren. Was soll ich sagen, ich finde sie super! Ich habe sie jeweils eingesetzt als der Pilot den Landeanflug angekündigt hat. - einfach einzusetzen, sitzen gut im Ohr - keine Probleme mit dem Druck - leichte Geräuschdämmung, ich konnte aber trotzdem meinen Film weitergucken und habe alle Ansagen verstanden - sehr angenehm im Ohr, nicht schmerzhaft - praktische Etui - leicht zu reinigen mit Seife und warmen Wasser Die Stöpsel werden mich ab jetzt immer beim Fliegen begleiten.

Good product.

Fonctionne vraiment très bien, en particulier en avion. Marche aussi très en voiture quand vous changez d'altitude ( montagne etc... ) et en train.
