Product Information
Full details
The TYR Silicone Molded Ear Plugs are designed for swimmers of all ages seeking to keep water out of their ears. Their primary benefit is a secure, tight seal that prevents leaks, while a potential caveat is the specific mold shape which may not suit all ear canal anatomies perfectly. These ear plugs feature a hollow stem for minimal hearing disruption and are shaped for left and right ears, ensuring a comfortable fit. They are made of silicone, float in water, and come in one size fits all, with a reusable pair and a carrying case included.

FAQs
How do I ensure the best seal?
Clean and dry your ears before insertion. Gently insert the shaped plug into the corresponding ear canal, pressing firmly until you feel a snug fit. Ensure no hair is obstructing the seal.
Can children use these ear plugs?
These are designed as 'one size fits all' for adults. While they may fit some older children, it is recommended to check the fit carefully. For younger children, specific children's ear protection might be more suitable.
What is the hollow stem for?
The hollow stem is designed to reduce the feeling of occlusion and allow some sound to pass through, so you are not completely cut off from auditory cues while swimming.
How many pairs are included?
Each pack includes one reusable pair of ear plugs and a carrying case.
Do these help with ear infections?
They are designed to prevent water from entering the ear canal, which can help reduce the risk of swimmer's ear (otitis externa) caused by prolonged water exposure.
Can I use these for showering?
Yes, they can be used to keep water out of your ears while showering.
What should I do if I lose one?
The ear plugs float, which should make them easier to locate. If one is lost, a replacement pair can be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Ear plug does not create a seal
Ensure the ear canal is clean and dry. Try re-inserting the ear plug, making sure it is fully seated and that no hair is obstructing the seal.
Discomfort during use
Verify you are using the correct ear plug for the left or right ear. Ensure you are not inserting it too deeply. If discomfort persists, these may not be the ideal shape for your ear anatomy.
Ear plug falls out during swimming
Check for a proper seal during insertion. Ensure the ear plug is correctly oriented for your ear and is inserted firmly. A small amount of water in the ear canal might prevent a good seal initially; try drying the ear slightly before insertion.
Difficulty hearing
The hollow stem is designed to minimize this, but some sound muffling is inherent. If hearing is severely impaired, ensure the ear plug is inserted correctly, as an improper seal can alter acoustics.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively prevents water entry for a dry swim experience.
- Allows for some sound to pass through, improving situational awareness.
- Comfortable and secure fit due to specialized shaping for each ear.
- Durable and reusable, offering good value.
- Floats, making them easy to find if lost in the pool.
Cons
- May not fit all ear canal shapes perfectly, potentially causing discomfort for some.
- The tight seal might slightly muffle sounds for sensitive users.
- Requires careful insertion to ensure a proper seal.
- Can be misplaced if not stored in the provided case.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use, gently insert the appropriately shaped ear plug (left or right) into the corresponding ear canal, ensuring a snug and complete seal. Do not force the ear plug.
Compatibility: These ear plugs are designed for swimming and water activities. They are generally compatible with most ear canal sizes due to their universal silicone molding, intended for adult use. They are not recommended for diving where pressure equalization is critical.
Care: After each use, rinse the ear plugs with clean water and allow them to air dry completely before storing them in the provided carrying case. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the silicone.
