SEAR Surf & Swim Earplugs | Block Water, Embrace Sound | The Ember Trail

Block Water. Embrace Sound. Protect Your Ears for Life.

Most surf earplugs solve one problem by creating another — they block cold water by blocking everything, including the sound of the ocean, the sets building on the horizon, and your crew in the water. So most surfers stop wearing them. SEAR takes a different approach. A 9 dB acoustic filter keeps cold water and wind out of your ear canal without muffling ambient sound. You stay protected. You stay aware. Session after session.

Why You'll Love It

9 dB Acoustic Filter — Hear the Ocean, Not Silence — Unlike traditional earplugs that cut 15 dB and isolate you from your surroundings, SEAR's filter blocks cold water and wind while keeping ambient sound clear — you can hear the sets, your crew, and everything happening around you.

Stays In Through Wipeouts & Duck Dives — Ergonomic ear wings lock each plug securely in place — secure enough to survive hold-downs, wipeouts, and the most punishing sessions without shifting or falling out.

Find Your Perfect Fit — No Audiologist Required — Three earplug tip sizes (S/M/L) and four ear wing sizes (S/M/L/XL) let you dial in a watertight seal at home. Most surfers find their fit in under five minutes.

Protects Against Surfer's Ear — Exostosis (surfer's ear) develops when cold water and wind repeatedly trigger bone growth in the ear canal. Wearing SEAR earplugs is the most effective way to slow that process — the kind of protection you reach for before every session without thinking about it.

Medical-Grade Silicone — Hypoallergenic & Reusable — Built from medical-grade silicone that's gentle on skin, safe for long-term use, and designed to last — not a single-session throwaway.

Waterproof Magnetic Case with Carabiner Clip — Every set comes with a waterproof magnetic case you can clip to your board bag or wetsuit — so your earplugs are always exactly where you need them before you paddle out.
