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.

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...

Honestly No. My 3 yr old has given up on them. They are sort of square so on her small head they slip off often. My 5 yr old works them much better. I got my 3 yr old philips adjustable earclip headphones item#shs4700/28 they have worked much better for her.

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.

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

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

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.

My son always seemed to hear me. I bought the ear plugs and the headband but my son didn't care for the headband and the plugs never came out so I only used it a handful of times

I'd say don't waste your money. These don't fit well and therefore won't block noise well. You would be better off buying silicone accordion style earplugs like those used in industrial/factory settings. As least you can get those to fit tightly in the ear canal and are easy to remove.

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.

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

No. You would have to open a flap to plug in headphone and water would get in that way.

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!

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 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!
