Subject: Earplugs Ok - so not having grown up a water rat, what are the precise purposes of earplugs when swimming? I suppose my main question is: are they supposed to completely seal out water, or are they supposed to reduce the volume in your ear, thereby reducing the water in your ear and hence reducing the splashing annoyance you feel when swimming?
If, they are to seal completely, what is the best way to do this? I have used foam earplugs for work where you roll it between your finger while pulling up and back on your ear and then let it expand. Is there a similar type of action that I should do to get it to fully seal? The Speedo instruction pamphlet says not to push it into your ears...?
How many times can you reuse them? |
