Many people are seen each year at medical facilities due to ear infections or other ear-related issues from swimming and bathing. The prevention of water entering the ear canal, whether from swimming or showering, is an important consideration. Oto Hearing Products produces floatable Swim Molds, which can prevent infections or other problems before they start, such as hearing loss at a later stage. By sealing the entrance to the ear canal, waterproof earplugs keep water out of the sensitive region inside the ear canal. Swim Molds are ideal for water sports, recreational swimming, daily showering, and individuals who suffer from chronic ear infections. Oto’s Swim Molds are manufactured from a soft, 100% floatable silicone, which is comfortable to wear and provides a tight seal to make sure no water enters the ear. Swim Molds are available in eleven fluorescent colours, as well as two to three colour swirls.
