If flying gives you ear pain, you already know how bad it can get — that sharp, building pressure during takeoff and landing that no amount of swallowing or yawning fully fixes. Alpine FlyFit earplugs solve this directly. A pressure-regulating acoustic filter slows the rate of pressure change reaching your ear canal, giving your Eustachian tube time to equalise without the pain. Voted #1 travel earplug by Bupa Travel Insurance Australia. Red Dot Award winner 2015.Best For Frequent flyers who experience ear pain or pressure during takeoff and landing Anyone prone to barotrauma, Eustachian tube dysfunction, or sensitive ears Travellers wanting to sleep or focus during long-haul flights People recovering from ear issues or with perforated eardrums (consult your doctor first) Anyone who finds standard foam earplugs too bulky or uncomfortable How It WorksThe Alpine Acoustic Filter acts like a valve, allowing gradual and consistent pressure equalisation between the outer environment and the middle ear. This gives the Eustachian tube enough time to adapt to altitude changes — preventing the sharp pain caused by rapid pressure shifts during ascent and descent. The filter also reduces cabin noise without blocking speech, so you can still hear announcements and conversations.Key Features Pressure-regulating Alpine Acoustic Filter — prevents ear pain during takeoff and landing SNR 17dB noise reduction — reduces engine and cabin noise AlpineThermoShape™ material — warms and moulds to your ear canal for a custom fit Soft, flexible filters — the only earplugs on the market with this design, ideal for side sleeping Silicone-free and hypoallergenic — safe for sensitive ears Reusable and washable — clean with lukewarm water and soap Compact carry case included — fits in any travel bag Red Dot Award winner 2015 — recognised for design innovation What's in the Box 2 x Alpine FlyFit earplugs (universal fit) 2 x Alpine Acoustic soft filters Alpine cleaner Compact carry case Insertion sleeve Technical Specifications SNR: 17dB | NRR: 14.4–20.1 Nominal diameter: 9–12mm Compliant: EN 352-2:2002 Material: AlpineThermoShape™ (no silicone) What Our Customers Say"I can't say enough good things about these earplugs. On my most recent flight, I had absolutely no ear pain. Without these, I would have to think twice about getting on a plane." — JGH"I have Eustachian tube dysfunction and had practically resigned myself to painful pressure build-up every time I flew. I flew both ways with virtually no problems. God bless the wonderful Dutch!" — Michael"Work great to compensate for pressure differences. For testing purposes, I took them out during one landing and immediately had earaches." — NelWhat If It Doesn't Suit Me?Alpine FlyFit works best for pressure-related ear pain during flying. If your ear discomfort is primarily noise-related rather than pressure-related, standard earplugs may be sufficient. For severe ear conditions, consult your doctor before flying.
