Earplanes also reduce the noise, not completely, you can still hear people talking right next to you, but it lowers the volume of the engine noise a bit.
Things are so loud on planes that I can hear the announcements and everything right through the -30db earplugs. It's kind of amazing.
But what earplugs do is reduce my fatigue. It's just less tiring. The nine-plus hour flight from New York to Rio was a lot easier than I remember it being before.
I haven't tried it going across the Pacific yet but I'm guessing it will still help.
