On this page you will find our selection of earplugs for kids, all of which can make it easier and more fun for kids to be in the water without getting irritated by water in their ears. In addition, they also help protect kids from getting water, cold air, bacteria and dirt into their ears, which can lead to infections.

This is especially true if your kid is prone to ear infections or has drains in their ears. With a pair of waterproof earplugs for kids, you can significantly reduce the risk of infections.

Why it's a good idea to use earplugs for kids

Most kids experience an ear infection at some point, and some kids are even more at risk. Since it's virtually impossible not to get water in your ears when swimming or bathing, some people may want to take precautions.

Many people are familiar with the annoying feeling of water in the ears that needs to be shaken out when you get your head above water. For kids, getting water out of their ears can be especially annoying and difficult as their ear canals are smaller than adults'. If you have a kid who suffers from water in the ears or is prone to ear infections, it's a good idea to get a pair of earplugs for kids.

This is especially true if your kid swims or bathes with water in their ears. If you have a kid with ear drains, you've probably been advised to avoid water in the ears as much as possible. You can avoid that worry with a good pair of earplugs for kids of the right quality.

On this site, you'll even find earplugs that seal out 100% of the water, but without obstructing their hearing. This way your kid can still hear what you're saying and they won't feel like they're in a bubble when they have them in their ears.

Which earplugs for kids should you choose?

Essentially, earplugs for kids serve the same function as earplugs for adults. However, there are some fundamental differences to consider, such as the size of the earplugs.

As kids' ear canals are smaller than an adult's, it's important to choose earplugs for small ear canals, as a pair of earplugs that are too big will not fit or will unnecessarily obstruct the ear canals. Of course, their main function is to keep dirt, bacteria, cold air and water out of your ears.

It's therefore important to find a pair of earplugs for kids that have a good and secure fit in their ear canals. This way, they won't obstruct the ear canal and you can be sure they'll stay in place even when your kid is swimming and bathing.

However, it may be a good idea to get a pair of earplugs for kids with a string. This gives a greater guarantee that they won't fall out and get lost, which would be annoying during swim practice.

One last thing you may want to consider is finding a pair of earplugs for kids that your kid can put in and out of their ears by themselves. The earplugs you find on this site are all very kid-friendly when it comes to using them. With a bit of practice, most kids will be pretty self-sufficient. You may only need to remind them to put them in their ears before jumping in the water.

Combine your earplugs for kids with other products

While earplugs for kids are a highly effective way to keep water, cold air, bacteria, dirt and debris out of their ears, there are other products that can make it even safer.

This is especially true if you have a kid with an ear drainage problem, where we recommend combining a pair of earplugs for kids with a swim cap for kids. This way, you can be sure that it seals tightly around the ear canal and that the earplugs won't fall out, no matter how fast they swim or how wildly they play.

If a swim cap is a bit much or your kid doesn't like wearing them, you can opt for an ear-band instead. They work just like a headband, but are just as effective at blocking out the water and keeping the earplugs in place.

Sure, water in the ears is uncomfortable, but water in the nose can be just as uncomfortable. If this is a problem for your kid when bathing and swimming, it's a good idea to get a nose clip for kids. That way, your kid is fully covered without having to hold their nose or actively avoid water in their ears
