ABOUT //001

Purpose-built for water.

SEAR exists because the choice was between plugs that kept water out and cut you off, or no plugs at all. Most people picked no plugs - and paid for it a decade later.

We build water protection you can actually wear for a full session: designed to keep water out of the ear canal while ambient sound still passes through.

HOW WE WORK //002

Three things we hold to

Tested by people who ride

Team riders across five disciplines tell us when something is wrong. V2 has four wing sizes because they said three was not enough.

Tested, not just designed

Our silicone is independently tested by SGS against EU REACH, RoHS and POPs regulations, and V2 is acoustically tested to EN 352-2.

Fit before sale

Every box holds all twelve fit combinations, and we would rather talk you through sizing than take a return. That is also why there is no size to choose at checkout.

THE FOUNDERS //003

Two athletes, one mission

SEAR was founded by two people who could not buy what they wanted

Andrea Ferrario and Julia Raciniewska are lifelong surfers, swimmers and adventurers, and they shared one frustration: the gear available either blocked sound entirely, fell out during activity, or failed to protect ears over the long term.

Andrea Ferrario

"I've spent most of my life in and around the water, travelling whenever possible to places where water sports are part of everyday life. Over the years I noticed how many people around me were dealing with ear infections, hearing issues, or even surgery from long-term exposure. I went through some of it myself.

I didn't want a medical-looking product. I wanted something practical, affordable, and built for people who actually spend time in the water."

Julia Raciniewska, co-founder of SEAR Co-founder · Surf, swim, wing

Julia Raciniewska

Julia brings the sports-performance and wellness side of SEAR - the reason the brand talks about staying in the water longer rather than about medical devices, and the reason fit guidance sits ahead of the sale rather than after it.
