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 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.

Probably not suitable for children under 5-6, as they might swallow the product. Besides, I can't imagine why and in what situation children should need to use earplugs to block noise!

There is a hole on the bottom on each side that could be used for earplugs, and also the space at the top on each side as well. However, I just plug my earphones in the top of my phone and then close the top flap over the phone, leaving the earphone plug sticking out to one side, and it works very well while I'm walking or working.

The ear covers will be big, but they will fit. Will actually probably work better than they did for my 9 mo old, because he could pull them off. They fit very snug.

I would think so. I don't have kids, but you don't place it very far into the ear canal. You might research it online at the Braun website to see what they say. Ask your pediatrician.

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.

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)

I doubt it though it hasn't been tried. My reasoning is that I can hear them. With that in mind if I can hear them while not wearing them it seems that the noise interference would interfere. How old is the child? Perhaps Ear buds are a better way to go!

The sound leakage is there, but not at an extreme level, unless he plays really loud. But, considering the isolation performance of those, I doubt he will need to play it real loud. And, even then, it shouldn't create a disturbance that is considerably higher than what you would create by using an ordinary earbud. In any case, this is not an open-back headphone, so there won't be a lot of leakage.

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.

no you cannot plug in earplugs, its better in your cap I duct tape the side handles closed after I insert one hair elastic on each side, I make a bun of my hair, then wrap the hair elastics around bun this keeps it on my head which is ideal as earpcs wires are fragile and short, if you swim and the ear pc wires are stressed a lot you will lose sound quickly ruining the gadget. but using this method mine last two years I swim 12 hrs a week

I mainly use the band to keep my earbuds on, but I've used it with earplugs and they are even better. Answering your question, yes they did work for me while lap swimming, it gets a few times to find the perfect place though, but once you've got it you'll have no problem.If you are going to use earplugs I strongly advice using some silicone ones, as Christmas tree or other type of earplugs protruding from ears can cause pain over time (with the band on)

I would say possibly, depending on the kid...The range of size in the distance for the ears is pretty good. My 2 year old is just now really enjoying them, he used to pull them off... So if your kid will wear a hat, then the head phones may work... They do definitely cut down on outside noise...

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.

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.
