eP2 for Kids by Cirrus Healthcare 1 EarPlanes Reusable Pair (1 Reusable Pair)

Holy smokes they actually work! We fly quite a bit and I usually have to bring Benadryl and over-the-counter pain relievers for my nine year-old. She has been experiencing ear pain when flying since she was a toddler. I wish I would have found these sooner!Read instructions: When your child inserts in the ear, you need to make sure that they plug their nose and blow out a little to open it up gently. My daughter was doing this a little bit throughout the flight as well while she had the plugs in. Ever since we bought them, she has had zero discomfort when flying! She used to complain about pain right after takeoff and about one hour before landing and several hours after landing. The pain is completely gone with these plugs.* she specifically likes this brand because they do not cancel out too much noise so she can keep the plugs in for the entire flight (if it’s a short flight three hours or less) and put her earphones over them to watch movies.

As someone who has suffered from ear pain during air travel my entire life, these have been a miracle!No more trying to pretend I’m not in pain for the last hour of every flight—or struggling in vain to get my ears to clear (so embarrassing as a business traveler).I ordered the children’s size for my small ear canals and they worked like a charm. What a difference for this international flyer! If you’re wondering if they’re worth the tiny cost, do not hesitate! These do exactly what they say they do.Thank you, earplanes, for making my travels painless!

Ok, this product is a little strange. I heard about these as a brief mention during a YouTube video, and since I always end up with plugged ears when flying, sometimes for days afterwards, and was going to be flying in about a month, I looked them up on Amazon and read some reviews. I have small ears, so I looked at the kids version. For me any earbuds, either the large or small, all give me headaches if I wear them very long. So, I got the kids version and hoped that they weren't too small, well, they are not, in fact I think they are still too big. I got headaches using them for the flights, but I preferred the headache to the throbbing, plugged up, can't hardly hear anything for days feeling in my head that I get otherwise. I have never flown before without having plugged up ears for at least a day or two! None of the usual remedies for unplugging ears work for me. So, these worked like a charm, and headache, that goes away by the next morning, is far superior!I wish they made them a little smaller yet, and maybe they would be perfect! My flights were a quick 1 hour, then a longer, almost 4 hour, then another 1 hour flight. For the two 1 hour flights, I left them in the whole time, since we pretty much just go up to cruising altitude and then start the descent. The longer flight, I only wore them during takeoff and landing. On the flight there, I forgot to put them back in right away when we started the descent, and when I started to feel it in my ears, I quickly put them into my ears, and was fine. So, in my experience you don't have to wear them an hour before takeoff or landing, as I think it says in the instructions. I put them in during the descent when I ears had already started feeling the pressure and still didn't get the plugged ears like I would have without them. Another flight, I didn't have one in all the way, and started to feel it in my ears, so I pushed it in farther and ended up taking it out and putting it back in and again was fine, no plugged ears after landing.I highly recommend these to anyone who gets plugged ears for days from flying! Worked wonderfully and I carry them in my purse at all times now, just so that I won't forget them the next time I fly. I also used the same set for all of my flights since they were all within a week. I think the reason why they recommend that they are only used for one set of flights, or within a short timeframe is because of bacteria and other grossness. You are sticking these in your ears, then storing them in the included case or your pocket (I'd recommend the case) and then putting them back in your ears. If the ick from your ears starts multiplying or growing on them in between uses, or they pick up outside contaminants between uses, and you put them back in your ears, that could lead to something unwanted, I don't know if it could lead to an ear infection, but they do seem to go in deep into your ears, so I just wouldn't use them too far apart.I had over the ear headphones that I used on the plane with these in my ears already they hardly stuck out from my ear canal, so they weren't in the way at all, and I could still hear the other passengers, flight attendants, and the movie I was watching. They did muffle the airplane sound some as well, which is nice.Overall, I highly recommend these, and look forward to using them on future flights!

WHY aren't these available for purchase ON PLANES or given out free to parents with suffering children?!I had been flying for 20 years with no issue greater than a 'plugged' sounding ear that may have lasted a day. Then one rather short flight had me near tears and asking the flight staff for help as I felt like my eardrum was ripping apart. (Staff gave me the hot towel in a cup trick...look it up, works...) Since then, I have used these and ears are fine! I've used both sizes. If you have routinely sensitive ears, follow the directions. (I put mine in for descent only.) I have gifted them to other folks who are surprised by the simple solution and happy with them.

My kids took their first 5+ hour flight recently and I was worried about their ears. After reading tons of reviews I decided it couldn’t hurt to try. So stocked up with these bad boys, gum, and lollipops we were on our way.Take off was great. Their only complaint was not being able to use their earbuds to watch the on board movies. Landing was a different story. We were stuck in extremely bad turbulence doing circles waiting for the pilot to get the clear to land. This went on so long that half the plane was vomiting (wish I was exaggerating) including my husband. I felt sick but held it together. My kids ears were in pain even though we put these back in an hour before landing as instructed. I don’t fault the product for this though which is why I’m still giving 5 stars.Our flight home was much better. These worked as claimed to on both take off and landing. They were easy to use. Pain free. Helped with the noise. They also were worth the price in my opinion and came in individual cases which made it easy to store for each kiddo.I will buy these again when we need them and would recommend them to others as well. Just follow the directions and you’ll be good.I will also note that these are kids sized. I tried the extra pair in my adult ears and they were too small. Keep that in mind.
