Who Are AquaSafe Swimming Earplugs For?
AquaSafe custom swimming earplugs are designed for children and adults who need a comfortable, secure seal to help keep water out. From swimming and surfing to everyday water protection, they’re made for you if you want to enjoy the water without the discomfort or concerns that come with water entering your ears.
- Swimming & surfing. Helps keep water out during pool, lake and ocean activities.
- Showering & bathing. For people who need or prefer to keep their ears dry.
- Sensitive ears & recurring problems. For swimmer’s ear, trapped water, irritation and surfer’s ear (exostosis).
- Medical water protection. For children and adults with ear tubes, perforated eardrums or ear surgery when water protection is recommended.
For medical ear conditions: If you need AquaSafe for a medical ear condition, please confirm with your doctor or ENT that your ears are ready for impressions and that your intended water activities are permitted.
A Better Water Seal Starts With the Right Ear Impression
Your ear canal can change shape as you move your jaw. Even small changes can affect how well an earplug seals, particularly when you’re trying to keep water out.
That’s why we take AquaSafe ear impressions differently.
We assess your individual ear anatomy and how it responds to movement, then tailor our impression technique specifically for water protection. The goal is a comfortable, secure fit that helps maintain a dependable seal.
AquaSafe vs. AquaSafe Pro
Both AquaSafe models are custom-moulded for water protection and made with silicone that floats, making them easier to find and retrieve if dropped in water. The difference is how much sound they let through.
AquaSafe: Solid Water Protection
Made from solid, custom-moulded silicone, AquaSafe helps keep water out while reducing surrounding sound. A good choice when water protection is your priority and hearing your surroundings is less important.
AquaSafe Pro: Water Protection With Clearer Sound
AquaSafe Pro uses a waterproof acoustic membrane that helps keep water out while allowing more sound through. A good choice when hearing voices and staying aware of your surroundings matters. Sound is still reduced.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Earplugs for Swimming
Do I need a doctor’s referral for custom earplugs?
No. You can book directly with us and do not need a doctor’s referral. If you need earplugs because of ear tubes, surgery, recurring infections, or another medical condition, follow your doctor’s or ENT’s advice about swimming and water protection.
Can children wear custom swimming earplugs?
Yes. We generally recommend AquaSafe for children aged five and older. Younger children may also be suitable, depending on their ear size and ability to sit comfortably during the impression process.
If your child is under five, please contact us before booking so we can assess their suitability.
Children’s ears continue growing, so their earplugs may need to be replaced more frequently than an adult’s.
Can you swim with ventilation tubes in your ears?
AquaSafe earplugs are custom-molded to help keep water out of the ear canal and are commonly chosen for children and adults with ear tubes. If you have tubes, are recovering from surgery, or have been instructed to keep your ears dry, follow the advice of your doctor or ENT regarding swimming.
Do custom earplugs help prevent swimmer’s ear?
A properly fitted custom earplug helps keep water from entering and remaining in the ear canal. This can be helpful for people who are prone to swimmer’s ear, but earplugs cannot guarantee that an infection will not occur.
Will I still be able to hear while wearing AquaSafe earplugs?
Yes, although sound is quieter with standard AquaSafe earplugs because they have a solid design. Voices and surrounding sounds will be more muffled. AquaSafe Pro uses a membrane that allows clearer sound to pass through while continuing to help keep water out.
How deep can I swim with AquaSafe earplugs?
AquaSafe earplugs are intended for swimming at or just below the surface, not deep diving. We recommend staying within approximately one metre of the surface. Anyone using them for a medical reason should follow the swimming advice provided by their doctor or ENT.
Can I wear AquaSafe earplugs with a swim cap or goggles?
Yes. AquaSafe earplugs fit within the contours of the outer ear, so they can be worn with most swim caps and goggles. A swim cap or neoprene headband can also provide additional security during surfing or more active water sports.
How long do custom swimming earplugs last?
With proper care, AquaSafe earplugs can last for years. Adults often get four to five years from a pair, although this varies with use, care and changes to their ears.
Children may outgrow their earplugs sooner as their ear canals develop. There’s no fixed replacement schedule, so it’s important to monitor the fit. If the earplugs become loose, uncomfortable or start allowing water through, stop relying on them for water protection and contact us for a fit assessment.
Can I order AquaSafe earplugs if I don’t live near Vancouver?
Yes. Local customers can have their ear impressions taken by us. If you live elsewhere, you can order online, have impressions taken by a qualified hearing professional near you, and send them to us so we can make and ship your earplugs.
