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.

My guess is that they would work OK. The ear cushions and headband are covered with a plastic that seems to resist water.

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.

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!

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.

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...

They are adjustable and fit very small children, so I think you'll have no problem with the 3yr old. They have a regular plug for a walkman or a cd player so I would suggest you try other headphones or earbuds to fit, and if they do these will fit also. Good Luck.

what helped me was making sure to roll the ear plug as compact as possible in a cylindrical shape. Also, you need to make sure to lift the top of your ear lobe as shown in the instructions to ensure a bigger hole to insert the earplug.

I don't see why not...but I worry he won't be able to get ENOUGH water? I would try it out for a couple of days and see how he adjusts to drinking water out of this.

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.

Not exactly, water will get in behind the earbud, but the buds do a fairly good job of evacuating the water. By no means will they keep water completely out of your ears though.

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 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.

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!

My wife actually uses them and she has an exceptionally large head. She says, yes they are tight to some degree or they wouldn't block out the sound, but not a burden to wear. You gotta get used to it. Some 3 year old may be willing to adapt others won't. But they do make your ears sweat in the summertime.

I would have to say yes....my mom tried the bandit without ear plugs and she still got water in her ears.....I find ear plugs uncomfortable too but the silicon ones seem to be pretty good with the bandit

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.
