Who they are for
Israel has a long swimming season. Between the Mediterranean beaches, the Red Sea in Eilat, the Kinneret and the pools at community centres and country clubs, many people swim for most of the year. Regular swimmers often know the problem with ready-made plugs: they loosen during a length, fall out when you dive under a wave, or need to be squeezed in again and again.
- People who swim regularly in a pool.
- Sea swimmers and people who spend a lot of time in the water on holiday.
- Anyone whose ready-made plugs do not stay in place.
- People looking for an earplug they can use again and again, rather than a disposable one.
What to think about before ordering
The use decides the earplug. Swimming, sleep and noise earplugs are made for different purposes. If you also need an earplug for the night or for a noisy workplace, tell us in advance. Night-time use is covered on custom sleep earplugs.
Pool or sea? Tell us where you swim and how often. It helps us understand what you need from the earplug.
A doctor’s instruction. If a doctor has told you to keep water out of your ears, for example after an ear operation or an infection, follow the doctor’s advice and mention it when you call. Custom earplugs are not a medical treatment, and we do not promise that any earplug keeps out every drop of water.
A custom fit is not a promise. The earplug is made from the measurement of your ear. If something does not sit well, repair and refit options are checked case by case.
How it works
- A conversation about how and where you will use the earplugs.
- We come to you by appointment, at home or at work, anywhere in Israel.
- The measurement is taken with an ear impression or a scanning process, depending on the ear and the use.
- The earplugs are made to the measurement, from a flexible material.
- They are sent to you.
The production time is given after the measurement is taken. When possible, the measurements are kept so that a reorder is easier.
If you also wear hearing aids
Hearing aids and swimming earplugs are separate things. Take your hearing aids out before you swim, store them dry in their case or charger, and put them back only when your ears and hands are dry. Your user instructions come first for your own model. Practical tips for the beach and the pool season are in hearing aids in the Israeli summer. If the earpiece of your hearing aid itself does not sit well, that is a different product: see custom earmolds for hearing aids.
Care and a spare pair
Follow the care instructions you receive with the earplugs. Unless those instructions say otherwise, let the earplugs dry after swimming and keep them in their case rather than loose in a beach bag. Do not share them; they are made for your ears.
Swimmers often want a spare pair for the gym bag. When the measurements were kept, a reorder may not need a new measurement; whether the existing measurement is still suitable is checked each time.
What we do not claim
We do not publish performance figures for these earplugs and we do not make medical claims about them. If you have ear pain, discharge, a blocked feeling that does not go away, or a sudden change in hearing, see a doctor first. A custom earplugs overview covers all four types G-Sound makes to measure.
