Earplugs are probably not the first thing a swimmer thinks about when they are trying to decide on products to buy for their sport or past-time.
It used to be that only the most dedicated swimmer would consider using earplugs but nowadays people are more enlightend and understand that water entering the ear can in fact be harmful. Waters that we swim in are not always the most cleanest and bacterial free environments.
Swimmer earplugs can help prevent a condition known as otitis externa, commonly called “swimmers ear” which is the inflammation of the external ear canal. This inflammation is caused by repeated exposure to water hence the term swimmers ear.
Generally only one ear is affected but as this condition is not particular about which side it attacks and seeing as how swimmer earplugs come in pairs anyway it makes sense to wear them whenever you go for a swim.
People are realising that earplugs are not just for the professional swimmer but also for those that just enjoy spending time swimming.
Swimmer earplugs are a must have item for both the professional and pleasure swimmer alike. Don’t risk infection, get a pair of earplugs for swimming now!
Today there is a very good and varied range of swimmer earplugs to choose from. Before you purchase a set of earplugs there are a few things to take into consideration such as wearer comfort, noise suppression and whether they can attach to your swimming goggles.
You may also want to select a pair of earplugs that are very colourful to aid in finding them should they come loose in the pool. Trying to spot an errant earplug at the bottom of the pool becomes so much easier if it is a bright, even fluorescent colour.
The majoritory of earplugs that are readily available now are made from silicone and are of a simple but effective style designed to fit correctly the first time.
When it comes to getting your swimming kit together, earplugs are most likely the smallest item in your pack but they are also one of the most important especially in terms of ear protection.
Below is a varied selection of earplugs for the safety conscious swimmer that is available to purchase from Amazon.
