Earplugs

Earplugs should be an essential item in our gear, and generally for anyone who enjoys nautical activities, as problems and ailments resulting from constant exposure to cold, wind, and water in our ears are very common.

Why should we surfers use earplugs?

They protect the ear from water, cold air, dirt, and also the bacteria present in the water.

Furthermore, they prevent conditions such as otitis, inflammation of the ear canal, and others like exostosis, better known as "surfer's ear," which leads to hearing loss and may end in surgery.

Notable advances in their manufacturing process mean that we can now enjoy earplugs that allow sound through while keeping water out, as is the case with SurfEars.

So now you know, whether it's summer or winter, using earplugs when you surf, softboard, or engage in other water activities will help keep them pain-free and healthy for much longer.
