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 place a swim cap over the ear phones and it works well. I also have the earphones that have one cord and are more sturdy and that seems to help too.. Every once in a while I have some frustration with it but overall I love it!! I swim laps and it sure helps to pass the time away quickly. Hard to believe something so small can hold so many songs and be waterproof.

I would say yes. The Mack's silicon earplugs are the most comfy. We use the Ear Band-It to hold the silicon earplugs in and keep them watertight.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Yes, vigorous lap-swimming and flip-turns are not a problem. You do need to use these with the "Medical Grade Doc's Pro Ear Plugs" (also available on Amazon) to keep water out of your ears without causing swimmer's ear and other medical problems associated with regular ear plugs.

My grandson does. The earplugs were for him. He's 12 years old, so things that bother adults don't seem to faze kids.

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

It may depend on the seller, so read the description closely. The one I ordered did not come with ear plugs (and I wasn't expecting it to). We use Mack's Ear Plugs for kids.

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.

The in ear design works perfectly for it. It is liked wearing ear-plugs. Another example is like, you are in the car with windows rolled up and the mowers noise becomes low sounding humps...you will love it. keep the plug clean with peroxide ($1 bottle) at Rx stores.

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.

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.
