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 have a big issue with my ears when I fly or when driving in the mountains going up and down in elevation. My ears have narrow tubes, so they don’t equalize and I end up with ear pain. I live in the mountains of Colorado, so I am frequently driving down 2000' of elevation. That is painful for my ears. I have been using the EarPlanes brand of earplugs for years. They work, but they are very uncomfortable. My ears hurt from the hard material (silicone?) the flanges are made of. So, I was looking for something that had softer flanges. Luckily, I found these Mack’s Flightguard Airplane Pressure Relief Earplugs. Most importantly, these DO work. My ears do not get pressurized when I fly or drive in the mountains. Great - no ear pain! They also solved my issue with the hard EarPlane flanges hurting my ears. The Mack’s earplugs have nicely soft flanges. They are very comfortable. One thing I notice about the Mack’s earplugs compared to the EarPlanes is that the Mack’s earplugs cut the sound a lot more. This is because they are a tighter fit in my ears. For a plane ride, this extra sound reduction is great. When in a car with my husband, not so much since I can’t hear him very well. But, that's a small price to pay for no ear pain! The handles on these Mack’s earplugs are a good size. They are easy to hold when putting in and removing from my ears. I have tried other brands that have smaller handles, these are much better. The little case they come in is very nice. I store my earplugs i the case in my purse, car and carry-on bag (yes, I have 3 sets of these earplugs!). Overall, I highly recommend these earplugs. cheers, c-

I've been using these earplugs after switching from the big name airplane-flying plugs a decade ago. They are very comfortable and very effective at preventing ear pain from descents. (If you've ever had this kind of ear pain, you don't mind paying a premium for avoiding that pain, so yes, they are not cheap, but they can be used for many round-trip flights, so maybe they add $1-$2 to each of your flights. That's a bargain in my eyes. (...and, they cut down on the noise from screaming babies who aren't able to use these. I wish they made Flight Guards for babies...and so do those poor babies.)

I had to fly today for the first time in 5 years. I often get barometric pressure migraines and was dreading this flight. They really did a great job of reducing ear canal pressure on ascent and decent. The weird feeling in my ears lasted for a shorter time after exit. It also reduces the annoying jet engine roar, but it doesn't have an affect on voices.

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!

I flew last month with a sinus infection and no earplugs like this. I'll never do it again. These are a must have

The earplugs are good for long flights specially me who suffers from ear pain 😢 if yall still have a small pain after the flight take some acetaminophen or ibuprofen as backup.

Not great. I’m an adult male and my ears are about avg size but these hardly filled them so it was hard to get them to do their job. They would be better if these were bigger in circumference.

I am not afraid of flying, only the ear pain I get when the plane descends. The ear pain I was experiencing was a horrible stabbing pain not to mention the clogged ears when we did land. It was awful. I used the Mack's Flightguard Airplane Pressure Relief Earplugs and I had NO ear pain or clogged ears. I did feel a little pressure, but I will take that over the ear pain. I am purchasing another pair to have as a back-up for my upcoming flights.

Les bouchons s'insèrent facilement, ils couvrent les bruits dans l'avion, ont fortement soulagé le mal à l'atterrissage et les oreilles ne restent pas bouchées en sortant de l'avion. Je conseille de mâcher un chewing gum en même temps pour rééquilibrer la pression

كنت اعاني من الام الاذن بسبب ضغط الطايره وساعدني لكن لابد ان تلبسها قبل الاقلاع ليوازن الضغط وقت الاقلاع والبسها قبل الهبوط ليوازن الضغط

Super! Die einzigen Stöpsel die wirklich helfen. Und ich habe schon einige ausprobiert. Man kann sich zwar nicht mehr unterhalten, aber das nimmt man in Kauf.

Love it, first thing I take as my passport companion

A essayer maintenant quend je prendrais l'avion
