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.

Hi, I have used it with the earmuffs wrapped around the back of my head instead of over the top, however it is a bit tight & I find it better for me using ear plugs instead. BTW, Great face shield, the best I have ever used!

Maybe consider taking the ear buds off completely. Then to keep them in place use the speedo silicone ear plugs. All I can think of.

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.

They seem to work really well on my daughter most of the day. Would come off sometimes in late afternoon. They did not work for her friend. They fell off within 2 hours. They only thing I can think of is maybe some kids touch their ears more than others?? Sorry!

I have not swam with them in. However I did wear them in the shower to test the water resistance. Not a single drop of water got past the ear plugs. I think swimming with them in should block the water, just make sure the ear plugs seal properly. Hope this was helpful!

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.

I tried having them in my ears while standing next to a wheel grinder machine at work. When in use I thought it might make a similar racket. Anyway, the earplugs dulled the "high end" whine and some of the loud rattling sound. So, I guess it couldn't hurt for him to wear them to protect his hearing. Might not seem like much of a difference as far as volume, but the disruptive aspects of the noise were cut considerably.

My 5 year old wore them on almost an entire 9 hour car ride, and never complained. I'd think they'd work for anything with a normal plug in. I'm not sure about the light (we used in day time), and yes, they are over ear.

I agree with the other two answers. I've bought expensive ear plugs. (and usually lose them) These are cheap and work as well as the others. They're cheap enough to try. If they don't work for kids they'd still be handy for loud noises. I like them.

Sorry, it never worked right for my mother, she could not keep it on her ears? if you have any suggestions I would love to hear from you too.sorry again.frank

I think that would depend on how the aid fits. If it fits inside ear canal then yes. If it fits behind the ear, I believe it might be a little uncomfortable, but should still work. Hope this helpedJay

These earplugs shouldn't be a problem for you. The foam the plugs are made from is very soft, and pliable; you can easily roll them, between your index finger and thumb, and squeeze them slightly, in order to shape them to fit into your ear canal. Once your insert them, they'll re-expand, and fill the canal. The pressure they'll exhibit should not be uncomfortable, even if your ear canal is smaller than most.

I would think so. It just has the standard plug in. The ear muff part doesn't really fit to well on my kid's ears though. They are some what curved and pretty big for little ears...however, they were extremely cheap!

Wondering if this worked for your child, or if you found something better? I am looking for a solution to the same problem with my son. Thanks!

No they will not. Their primary purpose is to keep the ear plugs in the ears so they do not fall out. They do not create a air tight seal around the ear.

I don't know about the headband but they can still hear with the plugs. It might be a little bit muffled but mine still responded as usual.
