SkyComfort is the choice of those who fly frequently and who are interested in an exceptionally comfortable flight. 
Why do I have severe ear pain during flight?
The ear is a sensitive organ of perception. Due to the difference in pressure in the surrounding space and inside the human body, the eardrum significantly sags, behind which the middle ear is located. As a result of this effect, severe pain in the ears occurs, which can provoke the onset of painful sensations in the face and teeth.
Experienced hikers are advised to yawn and swallow saliva during landing and takeoff. This turns out to be ineffective, although it helps to increase the lumen of the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx.
According to statistics, severe ear pain occurs in 25% of children and 5% of adults. Some passengers suffer from painful sensations even several hours after arrival.
How to use earplugs?
Protective equipment such as earplugs are recommended for both takeoff and landing.
If you have flown before and know that you always have ear pain, use SkyComfort products without waiting for the start. They can be removed about half an hour after takeoff, when the pressure ratio is constant. If we are talking about a short flight (up to two hours), then the protective equipment may not be removed at all until the end of the trip.
As for the use of earplugs during landing, you should know: they need to be inserted about 45 minutes before the arrival of the aircraft according to the schedule. In this case, it is not necessary to wait for the pilot to announce the imminent landing.
Experts advise combining earplugs with yawning, swallowing and chewing. A holistic approach supports the function of the Eustachian tube better.
