Splintek HearRight GelFoam Ear Plugs with Volume/Pressure Control - Child Size (NRR 27)

These did not fit my ears well and I tried both sizes. Not sure why....

Warning: the "adult / large" size is large. not suitable for a smaller ear canal (5'4" female). This is exaserbated because they aren't rollable foam plugs. Both sets we bought came with an oil or some other residue from manufacturing. You must wash them before first using them and clean the case. With a small ear canal they stick out very far, larger ear canaly the can go pretty far in and not stick out much further than other earplugs. The volume adjustment feature is novel and useful. I've used these for a day, so I can't comment on their longevity or performance in loud environments.

These earplugs are affordable, reusable over and over, and perhaps the best I've used so far. They form a good seal and over time actually mold themselves to your ear - for this reason it's good to ensure you use the same plug for the same ear each time. They don't stick out much and are discreet. They help a great deal with regulating pressure change and preventing ear pain and with avoiding built-up pressure from flying that won't release itself. Since I have to hear while I'm on the plane, it's good to have the option to allow more sound. For those times I don't need to hear others on the plane, I can opt to block more sound. Follow the instructions for use and cleaning, and you'll be good to go.
