Ear Plugs
From Openwaterpedia
noun - Ear plugs are a device inserted in the ear canal to protect from the intrusion of water or foreign bodies. Ear plugs are often made of wax or silicon and can help decrease the middle and inner ear exposure to cold and thus lessen the uncomfortable feeling, including vertigo, that may come with exposure to cold water conditions.
Usage
The swimmer always uses silicon ear plugs when he does cold water training in the Pacific Ocean.
SwimEars
SwimEars are specialized ear plugs for open water swimmers and triathletes that protect against ear inflammation and dizziness without affecting hearing and balance, co-created by Danish open water swimmer Hans Henrik H. Heming.
