my son needs to keep water out of his ears and plugs don't seem to work. Would this work?

Not as much water gets in and the frequency of water getting in the ears is definitely less than not wearing the cap at all; however water still gets in the ears and I have to empty my ears ever so often. I don't think there's a full proof way of avoiding water in the ears once you're in the pool or any water for that matter. You may have to teach him to jump on one foot while leaning his head to one side (the side he leans on would be the side that the ears are filled with water) to get rid of the water in his ears after a swim.

Swim caps aren't generally used to keep water out of the ears. They are more of keeping your hair out of your face while your swimming. I would not recommend this as something to keep water out of your son's ears.

It will help, but you must use both plugs and cap..Use the wax plugs you can make fix into the ear.

The in ear design works perfectly for it. It is liked wearing ear-plugs. Another example is like, you are in the car with windows rolled up and the mowers noise becomes low sounding humps...you will love it. keep the plug clean with peroxide ($1 bottle) at Rx stores.

Hi Kelly,I think that you would need to buy the small plug adapter. I will tell you that this thing sounds great and has been used non stop by a 2-1/2 year old, and a 4-1/2 year old for over a year with no problems. The volume is constantly being changed, as are the selected songs. It's been a great gift.

Roberta, I would be very reluctant to use foam ear plugs. It can be difficult or sometimes impossible to get both inserted properly even when following manufacturers instructions. ( See the warning on the label of the ear plug box.) I suggest use only ear muffs unless impossible to do so. I hope this helps!

no, the ear plugs are permanently attached with their own waterproof gaskets. There is some slack when you have them in your ears so when you turn your head they don't come out of your ears.it doesn't attach to your swim cap, it attaches to your goggle strap on the back of your head. hope this helps.

It may depend on the seller, so read the description closely. The one I ordered did not come with ear plugs (and I wasn't expecting it to). We use Mack's Ear Plugs for kids.

That happened to me until I went on underwater'a website and read to rub Vaseline around the earbud, then insert in ear. It made a world of difference. If that doesn't work, you may need a larger size bud.

It might work But Don't Buy It... The Ear Pieces Will Not Stay in, as they are very light and can only 'hang' on your ear. If you move, laugh, sing along, turn your head... they will fall out. Only option is to use a head band to hold them in or immobilize your head.

I would NOT recommend swimming. These will absorb water which is probably what you would like to avoid. (I tried it! ) I think Amazon has some pretty decent swimming plugs. Hope this helps! :o)

Roberta, It does seem to work best to use two hands to install these ear plugs. You must squeeze the plug pretty firm on the end that goes into the ear. Then pull up and out on the top of the ear before inserting plug into the ear. As this will set the plug depth in the ear so it stays in the ear after the plug swells back up. Not sure how well you would get along with these with MS. I would suggest ear phones for your situation maybe. Thanks - Alan Wolf

Depends on his/her size but I sort of think they would be too big. Maybe search for childs ear protection... Erik The Pope

I would say yes. The Mack's silicon earplugs are the most comfy. We use the Ear Band-It to hold the silicon earplugs in and keep them watertight.

I assume you meant ears. They do keep the water out. I found that if you rub a tiny amount of vaseline inside your ear it helps seal them. You sometimes do get a leak but not very often and easy to fix. Just stop and reinsert. Great product

Put something between the metal contacts. It will sound as long as there is a connection--it works by pee making that connection through the cloth of your child's underwear, which is what's supposed to be between the contacts.

I think it'll depend on what you're doing, and also how your ears are shaped. The plug in my right ear is air tight (no water gets in) and stays that way, even when I use this for wake sports and take high speed falls. I might need to play with the sizes more on my left ear, though. Make sure to try the different rubber tips, but you might be lucky and get a good air tight seal.

Wow, good question! I think you'll need to get creative with this. All I can think of is to clip to your trunks, but you'd probably need an extender for the earbud wire, and I don't know where you'd get that. Try a sporting goods store swim section; maybe there's something that would work? Good luck!

It keeps water out of their ears too. It has a pretty good seal to keep the water out. It is a little bit flimsy but it does the job.
