- Medical-grade silicone, hypoallergenic, reusable
From £39.95 / €45.95. Built for surfing, kitesurfing, swimming, and more.
SEAR surf earplugs are built for one purpose: keeping cold water out of your ear canal while keeping your full awareness of the surf. The result is ear protection you'll actually want to wear in the water — session after session.
Why Most Surf Earplugs Get It Wrong
Traditional earplugs block water by blocking everything — sound included. That 15 dB seal cuts you off from your surroundings: you can't hear the sets coming, can't communicate with your crew, and feel isolated in the water. So most surfers stop wearing them.
SEAR takes a different approach. A 9 dB acoustic filter blocks cold water and wind without muffling ambient sound. You stay protected. You stay aware. Block Water. Embrace Sound.
Earplugs for Surfing That Actually Stay In
A waterproof earplug is only useful if it stays put. SEAR's ergonomic ear wing system locks each plug in place — secure enough to survive duck dives, wipeouts, and being held down in the break. Three earplug tip sizes (S/M/L) and four ear wing sizes (S/M/L/XL) let you find a watertight seal without a trip to an audiologist. Most surfers find their fit in under five minutes.
Built to Protect Against Surfer's Ear
Surfer's ear (exostosis) develops when cold water and wind repeatedly trigger bone growth in the ear canal. Wearing waterproof earplugs for surfing is the most effective way to slow that process. SEAR earplugs are medical-grade silicone, hypoallergenic, and reusable — the kind of kit you reach for before every session without thinking about it.
Who They're For
SEAR surf earplugs work for surfers, bodyboarders, kitesurfers, wingfoilers, and windsurfers — anyone who needs cold-water protection without losing situational awareness. They double as waterproof earplugs for swimming, open-water events, triathlons, snorkelling, and kayaking. If your ENT has told you to protect your ears in water, SEAR gives you that protection without the isolation of traditional plugs.
Each set comes with a waterproof magnetic case with carabiner clip — clip it to your board bag or wetsuit so it's always where you need it. An optional leash keeps plugs from disappearing into the ocean mid-session.
