FIT GUIDE //001

Twelve combinations. One that's yours.

SEAR Plugs use four wing sizes and three tip sizes, creating twelve possible fit combinations. All of them are in the box - there is no size to choose at checkout. Your left and right ears can use different combinations, and for most people they do.

Takes about ten minutes. Do it dry, at home, first.

THE GRID //002

4 wings × 3 tips

Start here

Medium wing, medium tip, both ears. That is the middle of the grid and it fits the largest share of people. Adjust one variable at a time from there.

Wing = security Sits under the ridge of your ear. Too small and the plug works loose; too large and the outer ear aches after an hour. Tip = seal Sits in the canal. Too small and water tracks past; too large and it will not seat fully.
Twelve fit combinations: four wing sizes across, three tip sizes down. All twelve are in the box.

Each square reads wing / tip.

Wing sizes across, tip sizes down. Every one of these twelve squares is in your box. There is no wrong square - only the one that stays put and seals.

INSERTION //003

Four steps, once

  1. Holding the plug by the wing before insertion 01 · HOLD Hold the plug by the wing, tip pointing into the canal. Leash toward the back of your head.
  2. Twisting the plug back into position 02 · TWIST Push in gently, then rotate backwards until the wing tucks under the ridge of your ear. Do not force it.
  3. Plug seated correctly with the leash routed behind 03 · CHECK Sound should dull but stay present. Tug lightly - the plug should not move. Repeat on the other ear separately.
  4. Surfer in the water wearing SEAR Plugs 04 · TEST First session, stay close to shore. Note which ear moves - that is the one to size up.

TROUBLESHOOTING //005

When it isn't working

One plug keeps working loose

Size the wing up on that ear only. Ears are rarely symmetrical and mixing sizes is the intended use, not a compromise.

Water still gets in

Size the tip up. If the plug then will not seat fully, go back down and check the wing is properly tucked under the ridge - an unseated plug is the usual cause.

My outer ear aches after an hour

The wing is too large. Drop one size - security comes from the wing sitting under the ridge, not from pressure against it.

I can't hear my crew

Ambient sound passes through the acoustic pathway, but it is not the same as open ears. If sound is fully cut off, the plug is likely seated too deep - remove and reseat more shallowly.

How do I clean them?

Rinse in fresh water after use, dry fully, and store them in the case. Do not use solvents or boiling water.
