Swimming is a popular water sport, and it is also a way to exercise. However, when swimming, you must wear earplugs to protect your hearing.
The first reason for this is that the water in the pool is too noisy. You can't hear people talking to each other because of the noise from the surroundings. If you don't use earplugs, but instead wear headphones or earphones, it will be even more dangerous. The second reason is that if water enters your ear and is not dried in time, it can cause ear disease. If you want to swim well without affecting your hearing health, you should wear silicone earplugs for swimming.
Why do I need silicone earplugs when swimming?
The ear is an important organ through which sound passes. Waterproof earplugs are used to prevent water from entering the ear canal during swimming and diving. Earplugs should be worn when swimming, especially if you have long hair or wear glasses, as these can easily enter the ears.
After swimming, it is recommended to dry the ears completely to avoid moisture accumulation in the ear canal and prevent bacteria growth. If water enters the ears and is not dried in time, it may cause ear diseases such as swimmer's ear or otitis externa.
When choosing silicone earplugs for swimming and diving, we must consider their waterproof performance and comfortability. Silicone plugs with good waterproof performance can effectively prevent water from entering the ears and thus reduce discomfort caused by water pressure. Soft silicone plugs with good comfortability can ensure that users will not feel uncomfortable when using them for a long time.It is hard to choose a good pair of silicone earplugs at first glance.

This material has better waterproof performance because it has excellent hydrophilic properties, but it also has some disadvantages: it will be easy to fall off after getting wet due to its poor adhesion; it also has a certain degree of odor after being produced for a long time.
The Eastragon’s silicone earplug is more popular because it has good waterproof performance, and it has better noise reduction performance than the above two types because it uses low-frequency sound absorption materials.
