Swimmer\u2019s ear, surfer\u2019s ear, ear infections or a blocked feeling can spoil the fun considerably. Especially for children, avid water sports enthusiasts or people with sensitive ears, the risk of complaints is high. Fortunately, there is a simple and effective solution: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/fr\/shop\/protection-auditive\/protection-auditive-personnalisee\/bonnets-de-bain-sur-mesure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customized swim plugs<\/a><\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this blog, you\u2019ll learn why these very earplugs make all the difference \u2013 whether you\u2019re going to swim lessons, on vacation, hitting the beach or diving into the water with your surfboard.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why protect your ears from water?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your ear canal is sensitive. When water stays in it too long \u2013 and that happens sooner than you think \u2013 the skin can become irritated. Bacteria then get free rein, with all the consequences: swimmer\u2019s ear, itching, pain or even hearing loss. And not only swimming is the culprit. Showering, bathing and water sports can also bring water deep into your ear.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people are at extra risk:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Children (small, narrow ear canal)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People with tubes or eardrum problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avid swimmers, surfers and divers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anyone with sensitive skin or eczema in the ear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swimming lessons or vacation planned? Choose customized swim caps <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether your child is starting swimming lessons or you enjoy swimming laps yourself, custom-made swimming plugs are the way to prevent ear problems. They seal off the ear canal perfectly, stay firmly in place and are suitable for everyday use \u2013 whether in the pool, in the shower or on vacation. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Custom swim caps are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Comfortable and personally customized<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Durable and reusable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resistant to chlorinated, fresh and salt water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ideal for children with tubes or a history of ear infections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, you can put them together completely as you wish. There are <strong>10 different colors available<\/strong>, you can <strong>choose a different color per ear<\/strong> and even <strong>combine multiple colors per cap<\/strong>. And the best part: decorate them with a choice of <strong>thousands of images and glitter<\/strong> \u2013 from unicorns to cool dinosaurs, from Pok\u00e9mon to My Little Pony, everything is possible. Kids wear them with pride.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div data-align-buttons=\"true\" data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/handpicked-products\" data-columns=\"1\" data-products=\"[130993]\" class=\"wc-block-grid wp-block-handpicked-products wp-block-woocommerce-handpicked-products wc-block-handpicked-products has-1-columns has-multiple-rows has-aligned-buttons\"><ul class=\"wc-block-grid__products\"><li class=\"wc-block-grid__product\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/shop\/hearing-protection\/customized-hearing-protection\/custom-swim-caps\/\" class=\"wc-block-grid__product-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gehoorbescherming-op-maat-voorbeeld-Horend-Goed_0001_IMG-20180531-WA0025-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Custom swim caps\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gehoorbescherming-op-maat-voorbeeld-Horend-Goed_0001_IMG-20180531-WA0025-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gehoorbescherming-op-maat-voorbeeld-Horend-Goed_0001_IMG-20180531-WA0025-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gehoorbescherming-op-maat-voorbeeld-Horend-Goed_0001_IMG-20180531-WA0025-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gehoorbescherming-op-maat-voorbeeld-Horend-Goed_0001_IMG-20180531-WA0025.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-attachment-id=\"116097\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/hearing-care\/hearing-protection\/customized-hearing-protection\/attachment\/gehoorbescherming-op-maat-voorbeeld-horend-goed_0001_img-20180531-wa0025-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gehoorbescherming-op-maat-voorbeeld-Horend-Goed_0001_IMG-20180531-WA0025.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"400,400\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Gehoorbescherming-op-maat-voorbeeld-Horend-Goed_0001_IMG-20180531-WA0025\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Gehoorbescherming-op-maat-voorbeeld-Horend-Goed_0001_IMG-20180531-WA0025.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-title\">Custom swim caps<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-price price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">\u20ac<\/span>40,00<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button wc-block-grid__product-add-to-cart\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/zwemdoppeninloop\/\" aria-label=\"Come to the swim cap walk-in\" data-quantity=\"1\" data-product_id=\"130993\" data-product_sku=\"\" data-price=\"40\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"wp-block-button__link  add_to_cart_button\">Come to the swim cap walk-in<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walk in for custom swim caps: without an appointment<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wondering how custom swim caps work?

The fitting itself only takes a few minutes and is completely painless. After that, your personal caps are custom-made and delivered within a few working days.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No hassle with appointments, just walk in at your convenience.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where should I go for the swim cap walk-in?<\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Horend Goed<br\/><\/strong>Heiligeweg 15D<br\/>1561 DD<br\/>Krommenie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2428.8268363166035!2d4.764400877099693!3d52.50037407205605!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x47c5fb93aeee1f77%3A0x8af8809765005f10!2sHorend%20Goed%20Hoortoestellen%20En%20Gehoorbescherming%20(Krommenie)!5e0!3m2!1snl!2snl!4v1747855254230!5m2!1snl!2snl\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water sports, surfing and showering: safe ears in any situation<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good hearing protection is also important outside the pool. Consider windsurfing, kite surfing, sailing or showering. Cold water and strong winds can lead to <strong>surfer\u2019s ear<\/strong> or other complaints. Swim plugs are the solution: they stay in place, even during movement, and protect your ear from both water and wind.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in the bathroom, too: a powerful jet of shower water can end up just wrong. Especially for children or people with tubes, custom-made swimming plugs are ideal \u2013 comfortable, quick to put on and take off and reliable. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about universal swim caps or headbands?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who swim occasionally or just want to have something handy on vacation, are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/webshop\/hearing-protection\/earplugs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">universal swim caps<\/a><\/strong> or a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/webshop\/hearing-protection\/headbands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">swimming headband<\/a><\/strong> are a handy temporary solution. They offer some protection, but do not seal as well as a cap made specifically for your ear. Therefore, we recommend these options primarily as a <strong>short-term alternative<\/strong>, or as an interim solution for a sleepover or beach day, for example.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you use swim caps more often, then customization is always the better choice \u2013 both for comfort, durability and protection.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary: customized swim caps, the smart choice<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you are taking your child to swimming lessons, training for a triathlon yourself or just want to enjoy a hot shower carefree: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/fr\/shop\/protection-auditive\/protection-auditive-personnalisee\/bonnets-de-bain-sur-mesure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">custom-made swim caps<\/a><\/strong> are a small investment that really protect your ears.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefits at a glance:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fully customized for your ears<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choice of colors, glitter and embellishments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Durable, comfortable and waterproof<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable for everyday use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No appointment needed at the swim cap walk-in on Wednesdays and Saturdays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t let water fun become a killjoy.
