They are the best gadgets for relieving ear discomfort, as well as congestion and popping during any flight. And just like in adults, the EarPlanes for kids help to reduce ear discomfort and pain, as well as relieve clogging and popping. The CeramX filter helps to filter the shift in air pressure naturally. As the air pressure in the cabin changes, it creates a pressure differential throughout the ceramic filter, which causes air to flow across the filter. The filter impedes the air from flowing through your ear canal. And with a more gradual shift in air pressure, less stress is exerted on your eardrum, thus reducing the entire discomfort.

They reduce noise better than the other ear plugs in this list—they have a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 27 dB, which is higher than the 20 dB NRR offered by Earplanes for example. Now that we know what they are, how do these Earplanes work? Well, these items comprise two components: Airplane ear plugs for flying can effectively help to keep the pressure even in your ears by simply restricting the flow of air to the eardrum. This gives the inner ear more time to compensate and adjust for changes in pressure. For ear plugs to work best, it is important to ensure they are properly sealed in the ear canal. Even the tiniest gaps can cause the ear plug to let too much air move past it, resulting in ear pain. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).
