Hello, my son (7 years) is prone to ear infections and has been given the all clear from years of glue ear.He has weekly swimming lessons and has been using the ear buddy/putty ear plugs and head band but the band has now started to fall down.His teacher has suggested a swim cap and the ear plugs.I have found swim caps that have a special ear 'pocket' but the reviews dont rate them well and say they tear very easily.
I need to find him a cap that completely covers his ears...any suggestions?

Can't help you with a hat but I have a 14 year old DS with the same problem. Year after year he would get infections after being in a pool.
He manages very well with puttie buddy type ear plugs, I used to buy them on line but I now get them from Boots. I think the key is in getting them in correctly. There is a You tube video which shows you how and DS watched that before he used them. No infections for two years now since using them.
He hates them though.

Thanks for your reply- he uses the ear buddies already and I agree they are great and I have finally found a swimming cap that covers his ears as well.YAY!
