If you are an avid swimmer, then it is likely that you are all too familiar with the pain of an ear infection. Having too much water inside your ears can not only cause a painful infection from the germs in the water but it can also be very irritating to walk around with one ear blocked up from excess water that you can’t dislodge. In order to avoid these problems; keen swimmers should invest in quality double action molded swimming ear plugs that can be used whenever you swim to prevent both water and germs from entering your ear canal.
The double action feature ensures that molded ear plugs are effective in banishing water from your ears as well as killing germs that are found in the water that can cause all kinds of health problems such as ear infections.
This antibacterial feature helps to kill a range of germs, including:
- MRSA
- Pseudomonas
- Salmonella
They are designed to last for many years, so they are a great value for money investment. They also come in a wide range of different colours, so it is easy to find a pair that work well with your general style or swimsuit.
Ear plugs should come with their own lanyard, so it is easy to keep them safe and they are also great for surfers to use, as they also suffer from the same problems as keen swimmers.
Ear plugs that mold to your ears and that are designed specifically for swimmers are notably comfortable and you won’t have to keep readjusting them to fit back into your ear, as they will stay firmly in position.
Here’s a step by step guide to how the molding feature works:
- Fill a bowl up with hot water
- Drop the plugs into the water
- Leave them to sit in the water for 2-3 minutes
- Take them out of the bowl and put them inside your ears
- Adjust until they fit
As well as a build-up of water and germs in the water, chemicals such as chlorine can also harm your ears as it causes the fragile skin that lines the ears to get inflamed and broken.
Wearing ear plugs will also help to prevent this problem and there are a few symptoms that might indicate a need for ear plugs, namely:
- Soreness
- Itching
- Pain
- Discharge
- Redness
If you suffer from muffled hearing as a result of swimming, ear plugs can be a big help in reducing this annoying problem and if you think you already have an ear infection, then you will have to visit your doctor for antibiotics to clear the infection up before you can go swimming again. This is the perfect opportunity to get online and invest in some molded ear plugs that you can use as soon as your infection has cleared up and you are ready to swim again.
