Like will it keep water out or you have wear both?** A: Ear plugs needs to be used as well to block water. A combination of the ear plugs and Ear Band-It provides maximum protection from water. Thanks for your interest! **Q: Does it provide any noise protection while sleeping when used with no earplugs? I'm an adult women** A: We only used it with earplugs in the pool so I am not sure **Q: Anyone do club swim and use this or the original? My teen swims 5x a week and competes, need to keep h2o out until eardrum heals.** A: I have a son who also swims competitively and needs to keep eardrum dry after recent surgery. Can you tell me what worked best? He has custom ear plugs and silicone cap pulls out plugs. Wondering if ULTRA band it worn over plugs is enough OR he needs to wear plugs, ULTRA band it and then cap. **Q: My 2 1/2 year old daughter is getting tubes. Water can't get in her ears, do i need to put ear plugs with headband for bath when I wash her hair?** A: I usually just use the band when I wash my son’s hair and use the plugs with the head band when I know he is going to be submerged in water (in the pool) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ KEPT THE WATER OUT DURING *by on Reviewed in the United States April 10, 2026* I wish I knew about this months ago. I, 34, swim a mile just about every day. I have always been sensitive to ear infections while swimming when I was younger , but haven’t had an issue for 10 years I suddenly got a middle ear infection and couldn’t swim for a bit, and it was KILLINGME. I swim to relax and relieve stress , also to workout. I looked for any option to get me back in the water and protect my ears. I have plugs but they never really work. I used this today with a set of plugs and I HAD ZERO ISSUE. Now, I still wore a swim cap and then this over top, because my hair was going to get in the way, but I would recommend this to ANYONE trying to keep water out I also kayak and paddleboard so this could be great for if I happen to tip or fall, preventing water in my ears! It’s stupid easy to use, comfortable and it’s pretty I got the tye dye purple. It feels VERY well made, it’s thick but not too thick. The Velcro holds VERY well. It doesn’t get waterlogged. The size chart is on the money. I fit the adult size with plenty of room to adjust either way. I’d have paid triple the price just to save my ears. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does not slip off *by on Reviewed in the United States August 13, 2026* Got for my 10 yr old and it worked perfectly. You have to use protection under like plugs keep ears completely dry. The strap is durable and never slipped off when he was using. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ does the job *by on Reviewed in the United States July 16, 2026* This works well enough, though you should know it is a little large. I wear a hat size 7.5 US, so I've got maybe just a little bigger than the average man's head in the US. I purchased the "large" size. Wish I'd gotten a medium. Though I don't know - that may have been too small. I didn't return the large and ask for a medium - I've been making the large size work. I wear it quite tight to prevent the water from getting to my ears, which is the whole point, and so just barely enough of the velcro overlaps to keep it together. I wear a swim speedo cap over it, so that keeps it firmly in place, with silicone pudy earplugs, to keep my ear canals completely dry. ## Frequently Bought Together - Earvolution Ear Band-It Ultra Swimming Headband for Kids and Adults - Invented by Ear, Nose, and Throat Physician - Custom Anti-Slip Grip Neoprene Maximizes Protection, 12 Color Options, 3 Sizes - Earvolution Floating Putty Buddies Ear Plugs for Swimming - Invented by an Ear Physician - Moldable, Premium, Silicone - Floats on Water - Waterproof - Made in The USA - 3 Pack - Blue/Yellow/Green - WaterDam A-Series Swimming Ear Plugs Ultra Comfy Great Waterproof Earplugs (Mixed Sizes, Size 1A+1: Toddler Little Kids 10m-6yrs & ExtraSmall Ear Women&Teens) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/139059377-earvolution-ear-band-it-ultra-swim-headband-for-ear-protection](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/139059377-earvolution-ear-band-it-ultra-swim-headband-for-ear-protection) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
