Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Swim Earplugs
Custom-Made Swim Earplugs
Advantages of Custom Swim Earplugs
Alpine SwimSafe custom earplugs, like our sleep earplugs, have no filter; they completely seal the ear canal.
The custom swim earplugs are made from a super-soft material, ensuring optimal comfort. Because they are made specifically for you, they stay securely in place and are unlikely to fall out. If they do come out, the earplugs float! Custom swim earplugs from Alpine are available in six different colors and come with a handy storage case.

Additional Options for Alpine Custom Swim Earplugs
When you have your swim earplugs fitted at Alpine, you can choose from a number of optional extras during the ordering process:
Are the custom swim earplugs suitable for children?
Alpine custom swim earplugs are definitely suitable for children! We usually fit swim earplugs from the age of 6 (but for younger children who are very brave and can sit still, we can make an exception). Keep in mind that the ear canal of young children changes more quickly than that of adults, so the custom earplugs may need to be replaced sooner.
If you prefer to wait before having custom swim earplugs fitted for your child, you can use our universal hearing protection for babies and children in the meantime.
