Description

Ear Band-It®

The original swimmer's headband, designed to hold ear plugs or ear molds in place while engaging in water activities. Extra durable 3 mil neoprene with adustable Velcro® type closure. Ear Band-It®'s unique design offers ultimate comfort and protection for the ears.

In addition to your Ear Band-It® headband, consider purchasing a set of Putty Buddies® ear plugs for the best protection.

Please refer to the size chart to select the appropriate size. Note that the headband may be slightly tight when first putting it on. If so, grab each end and pull firmly several times to stretch out the neoprene.

Keeps water out. Holds ear plugs in.

Initially, Ear-Band-It® was marketed to children with ear tubes, enabling them to swim. This has since been expanded to include water enthusiasts of all ages who are prone to swimmer's ear, have ear drum perforations or simply do not like to get water in their ears.

Recent studies have shown that swimmer's ear (otitis externa) affects 1 in every 250 people, while more than 700,000 people have tubes placed in their ears annually in the US alone. Prior to the Ear Band-It®, the only option for these affected individuals was the bathing cap. These "caps" are not only unsightly and uncomfortable, they are often times ineffective in protecting the ears. Ear Band-It's® patented design system was made to help resolve these challenges and is now enjoyed by millions around the world.

Can adults use Ear Band-It® too?

Absolutely. The headbands come in sizes suitable for adults and are commonly used by surfers, swimmers, and anyone managing recurring ear issues. They're lightweight, reusable, and easy to take on holidays or to the pool.

What’s the difference between the original Ear Band-It® and the Ear Band-It® Ultra?

Both versions provide great water protection when paired with moldable earplugs, but the Ultra offers enhanced durability and comfort as well as a larger selection of colours and patterns.

How do Ear Band-It® and Putty Buddies® work together?

Putty Buddies® ear plugs mould to the outer ear for a water-blocking seal, while the Ear Band-It® headband holds them in place during movement. Together, they offer a secure and reliable way to keep water out of the ears during swimming or bathing.

Can Adults wear the Ear Band-it?

Absolutely! The Ear Band-It® comes in multiple sizes, making it perfect for children and adults who need to keep water out of their ears.

Do I need to wear earplugs with the Ear Band-It®?

For the best water protection, it's highly recommended to wear the Ear Band-It® with moldable waterproof earplugs, such as Putty Buddies®, to create a complete seal against water.

How do I know what size Ear Band-It® to get?

The Ear Band-it comes in three sizes. Small (up to 18 months), Medium (2-7 years) and Large (8 years to adult). To find the best fit, measure around the head just above the ears and refer to the sizing chart provided. The adjustable Velcro strap ensures a snug and secure fit for different head shapes and sizes.

What are swimming ear bands used for?

Swimming ear bands are worn over the ears to help keep water out and hold earplugs securely in place. They’re ideal for swimmers with ear tubes (grommets), those prone to ear infections, or anyone who needs extra protection during water play.
