Don’t forget your swim caps!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The suitcases are ready, the sunscreen is already in the bag and the flip-flops have been dusted off: it’s summer vacation! Whether you’re going camping in France, have booked a resort by the sea or are just biking to the local outdoor pool – there’s one thing you must not forget. That’s right: your swimming caps. <\/p>\n\n

Because as wonderful as vacationing and swimming are, your ears sometimes think otherwise. Especially children, but also adults, can suffer from water in the ear, ear infections or even permanent hearing damage. In this blog we explain why swimming plugs are important, what to look out for and what options are available. <\/p>\n\n

Why are swim caps so important?<\/h2>\n\n

Water and ears: it’s a complicated relationship. A dip in the pool can be invigorating, but it can also pose a risk to your ear canal. Chloride in swimming pools, dirty water in lakes or the sea, temperature fluctuations, and prolonged moisture in the ear can lead to irritation and inflammation, such as the infamous swimmer’s ear. <\/p>\n\n

In children, the ear canal is still narrow and sensitive. If they have had frequent ear infections or tubes, protection is especially important. But adults who are prone to ear problems also do well to protect their ears – especially if they go into the water every day, such as during water sports, showers or vacations in and at the beach or swimming pool. <\/p>\n\n

Custom swim caps: the best protection<\/h2>\n\n

The most comfortable and effective way to protect your ears? Custom-made swim plugs. These are specially made based on an impression of your ear, so they seal perfectly. You hardly feel them, they stay firmly in place and they are guaranteed to keep water out. <\/p>\n\n
