Earplugs for Swimming
When should you wear them?
Ear Plugs for Swimming, also called swimplugs should be worn when swimming or showering when it is necessary to keep water out of the ear. This may be to avoid an ear infection in dirty water, or when there is a perforation in the eardrum. Many children require the use of Ear Plugs for Swimming after receiving pressure equalization (PE) tubes in the ears following chronic ear infections. While the tubes are present, it is important to keep water out of the ear to prevent infection.
