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

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.

We bought these on a recommendation from someone in an airport. My husband has terrible ear pain while flying. We just took our first two flights. HE WAS PAIN FREE!!! So glad we found these. If you are wondering. They work!!

I have always had ear pain and popping issues when I fly to the point that I couldn’t hear out of an ear for a day or so after landing. I tried these on my trip to Florida and had great results. Less pain, less popping. Only issue was one of them got stuck in my ear and I had to get it out with a paper clip. I will bring tweezers in the future because they helped me so much. Being stuck is the only reason it isnt 5 starts. It needs a longer grabbing part.

These are the absolute best things to help with my ear/sinus issues that I experience when flying. I put them on before takeoff and leave them in for the duration of the flight. They seem to both help with the pressure and also reduce the noise. Typically, after landing, I have days and days of trouble. With these, my ears pop normally and by the time I collect my luggage, I am pretty much back to normal. Definitely give them a try if you have ear and sinus issues when flying. They fit me just fine and insertion and removal is not a problem.

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.

I sometimes get excruciating pain in my ears when I fly--particularly upon decent. I've used EarPlanes' EP2. I find the FlyFit more comfortable in my ears than the EP2. But the EP2 plugs are easier to get out. The tab on the FlyFit it too hard to grab. I just took 4 flights with the Fly fit, and, after one of the flight, I actually bought a pair of tweezers to help get one of the ear plugs out of my ear. Thankfully, I was eventually able to manipulate it to the point where I could pull it out and didn't need the tweezers. If Alpine fixes the design to make it easier to pull out, I would probably give 5 stars instead of 3. Bottom line. I'll probably use these again given that they're more comfortable in my ears, but I'm also going to bring a pair of tweezers just in case.

I had an ear infection and following it, had pressure on my ear. I bought these to wear on the plane. They were easy to place in the ear (don’t forget to twist so they fit snugly). They reduced the plane noise (a real plus) but could have conversation easily. My ear infection is gone but I still like to wear these when flying. I think they would be great for international flying. Comes in a cute little case with a small applicator. If you have really large hands it might be a bit harder to handle due to the small size of the ear plugs. I had no problem.

I usually struggle with ear pressure while flying, or after a flight, but these ear plugs worked wonders—no discomfort at all. I also used them on a high-speed train in Italy, where the pressure in tunnels was intense and painful. As soon as I put them in, the relief was almost immediate. They helped regulate the pressure automatically, and I don't know what I would have done without them. Truly a lifesaver—10 stars!

I trief it during 3 flights now and it did help a lot. No ear pain and the ear pressure was noticably less.

Ces bouchons d’oreilles n’empêchent pas les oreilles de se boucher mais elles permettent de ne pas avoir mal. Je n’ai plus le ressenti douloureux lié à la pression exercée sur les tympans. Je les ai utilisés dans le train, et ils m’ont satisfaite ! À voir maintenant en avion, où la pression dans les oreilles s’exerce plus longtemps (tout au long de la descente/atterrissage).

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.
