AquaShields FAQ

What are AquaShields?

AquaShields are custom fit ear plugs designed specifically for swimming, surfing, and other water sports. They provide a comfortable and secure fit to keep water out of your ears while allowing you to enjoy your activities without worry.

Why do I need AquaShields?

AquaShields are essential for anyone who participates in water sports to prevent water from entering the ears. Excess water in the ears can lead to discomfort, ear infections, and even hearing loss. AquaShields offer a customized solution for individuals seeking reliable protection.

How do AquaShields work?

AquaShields are custom molded to the unique shape of your ears, creating a tight seal that effectively blocks water from entering. This helps to keep your ears dry and free from water-related issues during swimming, surfing, or any other water activities.

What is an impression?

An ear impression is like taking a photo of the inside of your ear, but instead of using a camera, we use a soft, medical-grade silicone material. This silicone is gently placed into your ear canal, where it molds to the shape of your ear. Once it hardens, it creates a perfect copy of your ear canal. This copy helps us make custom-fit ear plugs that feel comfy and keep water out when you swim or surf.

What is the difference between custom and generic earplugs?

Custom earplugs, such as AquaShields, stand out from generic options by offering a tailored solution designed specifically for your ears. Crafted from impressions taken by professionals, these earplugs provide a snug and comfortable fit that ensures maximum protection against water and other environmental factors during water activities like swimming or surfing. Unlike generic earplugs, which come in standard sizes and may not seal properly or cause discomfort, custom earplugs offer personalized comfort and effectiveness. With AquaShields, you can further personalize your experience by choosing from a variety of colors and optional features, allowing you to express your style while enjoying superior ear protection.

Are AquaShields comfortable to wear?

Yes, AquaShields are designed with comfort in mind. Because they are custom-molded to fit the unique shape of your ears, they provide a snug and comfortable fit that ensures long-lasting wear without causing irritation or discomfort. Whether you're swimming, surfing, or engaging in other water sports, AquaShields offer a comfortable and secure seal that allows you to focus on enjoying your activities without any distractions.

Will they stay in?

Absolutely! AquaShields will indeed stay securely in your ears during water activities as long as they are fitted correctly. We recommend following the fitting guide meticulously to ensure a proper and secure fit. Once fitted correctly, AquaShields offer a snug and comfortable seal that effectively prevents water from entering your ears, allowing you to enjoy your activities without worry.

Do they float?

Our AquaShields Floatable range is specifically engineered to float in water, ensuring they remain on the surface if they come out of your ears during water activities. This feature provides added convenience and peace of mind, making it easier to retrieve them if they become dislodged.

What if they don't fit properly?

If your plugs don’t fit properly, please notify us within four weeks. We will make adjustments free of charge within this period to ensure your AquaShields are both comfortable and effective at keeping water out of your ears.
