Airplane Ear Pressure Equalizer

The Ear Pressure Equalizer sucks air from the outer ear canal creating a slight vacuum which gently pushes the eardrum back into its original position.

Not having personally used this, I won’t comment on its effectiveness. But this reeks of another useless gadget that didn’t need to be invented. Not to mention the potential damage you could do to your hearing if you either use it wrong, or the alleged “gentle” eardrum sucking goes awry.

Simple, fast and safe.

You experience it during flight landings – increased cabin pressure presses the eardrum inwards and the ears become “blocked” – an irritating and painful sensation. The usual trick of swallowing and yawning doesn’t really help and can even be harmful if done too much. Yet with this ingenious device, painful ear pressure is no longer a problem.
As small as a mobile phone and 45g (1.6oz) light.

Using the equalizer is child’s play.
Simply close the ear canal with the equalizer, briefly press the yellow membrane – done. No matter how strongly you press, the built-in safety vent will prevent the build-up of too much pressure.
