EarPlanes help alleviate ear discomfort, clogging, and popping through their exclusive CeramX filter, naturally regulating air pressure.

Experiencing changes in air pressure causes our ears to try and accommodate these changes to equalise pressure. Flonase", which you can get from your doctor, is a steroid nasal spray that if used for a few days prior to the flight, might help when decongestants don't - it did for me. Reviews of an item help other users know that medicines received are genuine, how well the treatment worked or any issues to be aware of.

The CeramX filter slows the air pressure change while flying so your eardrum has more time to adjust, helping relieve most pain caused by rapid changes in air pressure. Insert the ear plugs into your ears, without forcing them, just before take-off and just before landing. I work as flight crew and wouldnt really recommend these, i have a young child and we fly many times a year, my son suffers with his ears and i have found the best thing to use is the "vicks sinus spray" along with good old fashioned sucking sweets ie a lollipop! The other types of ear plugs just don't work for me at all (and I have tried a lot of different types).

I haven't been a poster to Fodor's for very long, only about three months (was formerly just a "lurker" - pop in to read a bit and then pop out), but it appears to me that all sincere and knowledgeable input to this forum is very much appreciated! Thanks jal716 - I think one of the flight attendents on my flight told me that she wasn't supposed to do it. You can help to make medicines safer by reporting any side-effects to the Yellow Card Scheme at www. You take a hot, steaming paper towel and place it in a styrofoam cup (to keep the heat in) and then immediately place the cup over your ear. If you do not update your preferences, we will assume that you are happy to receive amazing offers and news.Thank you all for your recommendations- the good news is that I don't have congestion (taking allergy medicine now), so maybe the Earplanes will help make the pressure changes more gradual.
