I love them! Great ProductThis product made my daughter's swimming lessons much more safe and enjoyable. We had tried others but they would just get loose and get lost, a waste of time and disappointment. But these Bollsen earplugs I love them! they effectively block out water and stay in your ear. My daughter, 8 yrs old, doesn't worry about it anymore and can focus on the swimming. We also love the the little case it comes with it. We are very pleased.

Great ear plugsI brought some plugs for my daughter who is 8 for swimming. We have tried different plugs before and had problems with them falling out. We no longer have that problem so on that basis I would recommend this product.

Kidz+ Bollsen hearing protectionGreat product!! My daughter had grommets fitted last September and needs to wear ear plugs for swimming and in the bath and these are super. Really easy to fit and she doesn’t even know they are there and she can still hear me.

Earplugs for childrenThe earplugs served their purpose - my teenage son, who is sensitive to sounds, slept without any problems in a tent at the campsite despite the noise. He praised them a lot. The first earplugs that really muffle.

A sensory-sensitive child's rescue.I already ordered Kidz+ earplugs for the second time. Soon my nearly 6-year-old sensory-sensitive child is a completely different child with the earplugs, using them at kindergarten to reduce overload. The child also says they can hear speech with them, so they do what is promised.

All greatWe ordered the Kidz+ for our two children (7 and 4) ahead of a visit to a musical. Thanks to how comfortable they are to wear, our kids accepted them right away, which we hadn't expected. Easy and uncomplicated to insert in the ear and also very easy to take out again. All great!

Finally something for small ear canalsI bought the Kidz+ and I'm very happy. They fit my small ear canals. I don't wear them all the time, often only in the early morning hours. And yes, they're not completely pressure-free, but that's very much in proportion to how well they work.
Before“that happened to me with others”
After“they don't hurt when I sleep”

They work wellThey fit my ears well, which are small, that's why I chose the kids' size. They're comfortable and nice and soft, they don't hurt when I sleep (that happened to me with others) and they don't fall out all night. I'll buy them again and definitely recommend them.
Before“I worked with Anika about the size of the earplugs.”

Best investment!The customer service is stellar. I worked with Anika about the size of the earplugs. She told me the kids size would be a good fit. I've been swimming/aquatic fitness about 3 weeks now. They are a game changer for me. It blocks out all the noise except my music. When I'm with my trainer, I don't have the music on and I can still hear her. Thank you Bollsen

30p a swim.40 days to try.
One pair lasts about 100 uses. In the box: earplugs, an aluminium case with keyring and an illustrated fitting guide. Won’t keep them in within 40 days? Email us for a full refund.
How to fit them
In for the whole lesson, in 30 seconds.
Three steps for the first time. Most kids do it themselves after a few tries.
1Ear up and backGently pull the top of the ear up and back. That opens the ear canal.- 2Twist it inWith a small twist, until the outer ring sits flush at the entrance. Not deeper.
- 3Tab out, straight into the casePull the small tab to take it out. Mint is hard to spot in a blue pool, so the case is its home.
Still pulling them out? It’s almost always the fit: write to us and we help, or use the 40 days to return them.

FAQ · Kidz+ children’s earplugs
Questions? Answered.
Straight answers for parents, from safety and fit to the 40-day guarantee.
Will my child actually keep them in?
That’s what every parent asks first. Kidz+ is soft silicone with no hard shell and no cable, so most children stop noticing them after a few minutes. Children who refuse earmuffs often accept a small plug that nobody can see. If your child keeps pulling them out, it’s usually the fit: write to us and we’ll help.
Are earplugs safe for children aged 3 and up?
Yes. Kidz+ is made from hypoallergenic silicone, free of BPA, PVC, latex and cadmium. It’s designed for children’s ear canals from 3 to 12 and tested to EN 352-2:2020, with a yearly control by PZT in Wilhelmshaven, Germany (notified body 1974). For children under 3, we recommend earmuffs instead.
Will Kidz+ stay in during swimming and diving?
Yes. The two-lamella seal sits against the ear canal wall and stays in through freestyle, backstroke and diving.
Can my child still hear me while wearing Kidz+?
Yes, and that’s intentional. Kidz+ is rated SNR 24 dB: it turns loud noise down while voices stay clear, so your child still hears the swim teacher, the class and you. What gets quieter is the loud stuff: music, crowds, fireworks and traffic.
Are they suitable for children with autism, ADHD or sensory sensitivity?
Many parents choose Kidz+ for this. Earmuffs are bulky and visible, and some children refuse them. Kidz+ sits inside the ear, turns a loud room down and keeps speech clear, so your child stays connected to the people around them. Whether it helps your child is something you and the people supporting them will know best.
Are they safe for children with grommets or a perforated eardrum?
That is a question for your child’s ENT or GP, not for us. It is worth knowing that current guidance does not recommend routine earplugs for children with grommets: the AAO-HNS clinical guideline advises clinicians against routine water precautions, and a Cochrane review found the benefit very small. Where clinicians do ask for ears to be kept dry is more specific, typically the weeks after surgery, diving and underwater swimming, and hair washing or baths, where soapy water passes a seal that pool water would not. If your clinician has asked you to keep your child’s ears dry, that is what Kidz+ is for: the two-lamella silicone seals the ear canal. Ask them first and let them advise.
How do I put Kidz+ in for my child?
Gently pull the top of your child’s ear up and back to open the ear canal. Twist the clean earplug in until the outer lamella sits flush with the entrance of the ear canal. Don’t push it in deep. The pull tab makes them easy to take out, and most children learn to do it themselves after a few goes.
How long does one pair last?
Each pair is made for about 100 uses, roughly 3 to 4 months of daily swimming. Rinse them after use with a damp cloth and mild soap, let them dry, and keep them in the aluminium case.
