This pillow has a hole in it and also an arch that would allow air/sound to get to the ear. I don't own this but now I am intrigued -it is affordable as well.
I have been using those U shaped travel pillows also since my ear surgery but using them as a pillow - that is I rest my head on them sideways with my ear in the opening and the cushion around the ear. I am using it less these days - I find the problem with them is the arms of the pillow separate out for me as the weight of my head presses down.
