POD EarSeal Triple-Flange Waterproof Earplugs - Deeper Fit for Surfers and Cold-Water Swimmers
The POD® EarSeal Triple-Flange earplugs use a tapered triple-flange profile that seats deeper in the ear canal than the Dual-Flange model. That deeper fit delivers a stronger waterproof seal and greater sound reduction - suited to surfers, bodyboarders, cold-water swimmers, and ocean users who need maximum protection in heavy conditions and prolonged immersion.
Made from soft, flexible Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR), the Triple-Flange stays in place through impacts, duck dives, and long sessions without pressure points. A 47cm reinforced bungee cord with Nylon outer and TPE core replaces the standard silicone loop, sitting comfortably behind the neck and attaching to wetsuit zip pulls or goggle straps for added security in turbulent water.
Why Use Ear Protection?
Repeated exposure to cold water, wind, and pressure changes places significant stress on the ear canal. Over time this can contribute to irritation, trapped water, inflammation, and conditions commonly associated with swimmer's ear and surfer's ear (exostosis).
For those who spend extended time in the ocean or pool, effective ear protection is about reducing exposure, not isolation. The POD EarSeal Triple-Flange creates a deeper, tapered waterproof seal that limits water entry and dampens surrounding noise, helping protect ear health across regular use.
Features
- Triple-flange tapered waterproof seal - seats deeper in the ear canal for a secure, high-resistance seal in demanding conditions
- Reduced sound intrusion - the deeper fit and soft TPR material naturally dampen surrounding noise, reducing wind and water roar without fully isolating the user
- 47cm reinforced bungee cord - Nylon outer with TPE core neck cord sits comfortably behind the neck and loops to wetsuit zip pulls or goggle straps for added security in turbulent water
- Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) construction - soft, flexible, and long-wearing material holds its shape through repeated saltwater exposure
- Protective storage case - compact snap-closure plastic case for hygiene and transport, with ball-chain attachment for securing to gear bags or keyrings
Triple-Flange vs Dual-Flange - Which to Choose
- Triple-Flange - deeper insertion, stronger seal, greater sound reduction. Suits surfers, bodyboarders, and cold-water swimmers in heavy conditions and prolonged immersion
- Dual-Flange - shorter insertion depth, natural sound awareness, lighter fit. Suits pool swimmers, casual ocean use, and anyone wearing a silicone swim cap

Disclaimer of Use
POD® EarSeal earplugs are designed for surface water protection during swimming, surfing, and related water activities. They are not intended for scuba diving, breath-hold diving, or certified hearing protection. Improper insertion, removal, or use at depths beyond approximately 2-3 metres may cause discomfort or injury. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.
Care and Cleaning
Rinse thoroughly in fresh water after each use. Allow to air-dry completely before storing in the supplied case. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, or harsh chemicals, as these may compromise material integrity. Do not share earplugs between users.
