As mentioned above, another manner by which the earplugs help is by lowering the noise levels in the cabin allowing the user to rest, thus helping combat the effects of jet lag.
It is believed that the earplugs slow down and/or decrease the effects of the in-flight air pressure changes, thus allowing the ears more time to respond and equalize.

I suggest a trial run a week before the trip if parents anticipate a child’s refusing to leave the ear plugs in place.” Parents report that ear plugs work especially well with infants when left in place for the entire flight. As he is quoted in a leading pediatric journal: “When molded to the ear canal, they protect the ear from painful air pressure changes and reduce noise as well. Ira Rubin, MD, PhD has found Mack’s® Pillow Soft® Silicone earplugs to be an effective tool in preventing ear pain in children, especially infants, during airplane trips. These earplugs have been used while flying since the early 1960’s and our users report them to be safe and effective for reducing flying discomfort. (The typical temperature for a hot tub and sauna is 104 degrees F and 170 degrees F respectively.) To date, not a single test has shown positive results for melting or shape transformation (instability).Īre the moldable silicone earplugs safe to use for flying discomfort? If so, when and how do I use them? Each batch of material is stability tested in our lab at over 350 degrees F. The earplugs may become slightly more pliable when exposed to warm temperatures, but never viscous. Will the earplugs melt if they are exposed to warm temperatures?Ībsolutely not. We recommend using Mack’s® Kid’s Size Silicone Earplugs for children six and under. Breaking them into smaller pieces may cause the user to push the earplug into the ear canal making it more difficult to remove. The earplugs are designed to cover the ear canal. This last technique takes a little practice but creates an excellent seal when done correctly.Ĭan I break the earplugs in half for smaller sized ears? This technique squeezes out some of the air in the ear canal before sealing it shut, thus creating a bit of a suction effect. Lastly, try covering the ear canal with the earplug starting from the rear and moving toward the face. A sign that you have achieved a proper seal is that your own voice will sound more internal and exaggerated. If the earplugs are being used in a moist and/or dirty environment, be sure the hands and ears are clean and dry before applying or re-inserting the earplugs or a proper seal may not be achieved. Moldable silicone earplugs are designed to stick to the surface of a clean, dry ear. Keeping your hands and ears clean and dry prior to handling/applying the earplugs will help prolong the useable life of the earplugs.Īre there any additional application tips to help me get an airtight / watertight seal with the earplugs?įirst try re-reading the directions, then apply a fresh pair of earplugs, making sure your hands and ears are clean and dry. The earplugs are made of moldable, non-irritating silicone rubber and do not contain any latex. What are the silicone earplugs made of and do they contain latex? Keeping your hands and ears clean and dry prior to handling/applying the earplugs will help prolong the usable life of the earplugs. The earplugs may be re-used until they are dirty or no longer sticky (up to 5 uses). How long can I re-use the earplugs before they need to be replaced?
IN CASE OF MISUSE CALL: 1-58 FOR A 24 HOUR MESSAGE. These plugs are non-toxic but may interfere with breathing if caught in windpipe, which could lead to serious injury or death. Keep away from infants and small children when not in use. If misused (by failure to use as directed), earplug may become lodged in ear, which requires removal by an Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor ONLY.ĭiscard if earplugs come in contact with lubricants, solvents or other chemicals (may be used in chlorinated water).Do not use for scuba diving or at depths over 10 feet.Adult supervision required for children under 15.Discard when soiled or no longer sticky (up to 5 uses). TO REMOVE: To loosen and remove, press up behind ear. WARNINGS: Do not insert into ear canal! COVER ONLY! Do not cut, break apart or elongate. Place plug over ear opening and flatten to form airtight seal.Make sure hands and ear opening are clean and dry.
