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.

I've only used it in a pool. I think it would stay on but I'm not sure the ear phones would stay in.

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!

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)

Did you ever find one a bluetooth or headset that works? I am having a similar problem. My ears and canals are small, so nothing seems to stay on my ear. I was thinking about trying a bluetooth that has headphones that go over your head or behind your neck, have you tried this type? I agree that they need to make these child size as well!

The earphones come with 3 different sized tips to keep water out, and if they leak too badly, water will get inside and keep the sound from coming out properly. I just put the next size bigger onto mine because they leaked a little in one ear, and so far so good - it's keeping the water OUT.

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 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 don't believe this would serve you as well as earplugs, for the most part they do keep water out, they are water-proof, but not completely watertight!

Kassy, If they are positioned correctly, it should block him out. My husband does the same thing plus occasionally snores and I never hear him. I only use one for both ears because for me they are too thick to be comfortable. Just be sure you get it pretty equally divided and fashion it to fit. I hope this helps.

My 2 yr old wears the ear band and it does seem to stay in place while swimming. We use it with wax earplugs for extra protection.

They will help but they are more tuned for music. Let in a lot of sound but cut down on the harsh frequencies. I would suggest getting regular foam earplugs for that.

yes my son used his ear buds but because of the depth of the case it was hard for him to get them plugged in.

Yes the earplugs will keep the water out of your ears if placed in ears correctly. The sound quality is great also!

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.

If you wear a cap to keep the earbuds in and have the iPod clipped to your goggles in the back, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

You cannot use your own because the earbuds are a part of the closed system that prevents water from getting in. The earbud cords are not really long enough to attach to something further than the area right around your head. But they are meant to attach to the goggles, not the swim cap.
