As Seen In Join the Parents Who Finally Found Earplugs Their Child Actually Wears★★★★★Filter Reviews bySwimming & Ears Sensory & Focus Concerts & Events ServiceMy 6-year-old had grommets after 4 ear infections in one year. ENT said no water in ears. Tried 2 other brands — both fell out at swim class. Kidz stayed in for 8 consecutive lessons. First ear-infection-free season in 2 years. Rachel Morgan / TrustpilotDaughter aged 8 had swimmer’s ear twice last summer. Coach recommended Kidz . 14 weeks of lessons since — zero infections. Stays in during diving and freestyle. The 2-lamella seal is clearly different from moldable putty. Sven Hartmann / GoogleSon aged 5 prone to otitis media. Paediatrician recommended waterproof earplugs for bathing. Tried 3 brands in 6 months. Kidz is the first that seals without falling out. 3 months in — no new infections. Claire Beaumont / FacebookDaughter is autistic, aged 9. Supermarkets and school assemblies triggered meltdowns weekly. Tried earmuffs — she refused them. Kidz is small enough she doesn’t notice them. Meltdowns down from ~3 a week to under 1 in 6 weeks. James O'Brien / TrustpilotSon aged 10 has ADHD, struggles with classroom noise. Teacher agreed to trial Kidz . After 4 weeks, his reading comprehension scores improved and he self-reports feeling less overwhelmed. Small enough that classmates don’t comment. Lena Fischer / GoogleMy daughter has SPD, aged 7. Used to cry at shopping centres and restaurants. Kidz filters the edge off the noise — she can still hear us talking but the overwhelm stops. Changed our family weekends completely. Nadia Kowalski / FacebookTook my 7 and 9 year olds to a summer festival. Sound checks hit 105 dB on my meter. Both wore Kidz for 6 hours — never tried to remove them, no complaints. No ringing reported that evening. I won’t take them to an event without these again. Ben Allsopp / TrustpilotMy son cried through every fireworks display for 3 years. This New Year’s Eve with Kidz he watched the full 20 minutes without distress — looking around, smiling. Stayed in even with all his movement. First time we’ve ever enjoyed it together. Ingrid Larsen / GoogleTook my son aged 8 to a Formula 1 race — peak noise 130 dB. Kidz were the only kids’ earplugs properly rated for that level. He wore them for 5 hours without a single complaint and still heard every word I said between races. Marco Rossi / FacebookOrdered wrong size for my 4-year-old. Contacted support, reply in under 3 hours. They walked me through the sizing photos, sent the correct pair next morning. No return required. Full resolution in under 48hrs. Exceptional. Hannah Price / TrustpilotAsked before buying whether Kidz was suitable for a child with grommets. Response within 2 hours with a detailed note from their product team. Purchased the same day based on that alone. They clearly know their product. Pieter van Berg / GoogleOrdered from Germany, arrived in 3 working days. Packaging clean, instructions included. Received a follow-up email after 5 days to check fit. My daughter has been wearing them for 6 weeks without a single issue. Sara Müller / FacebookAll reviews are from real, verified customers.

The communication that matters is not.Frequently Asked Questions About BOLLSEN Kidz Earplugs Will my child actually keep them in? This is what every parent asks first. The honest answer: Kidz is far more likely to stay in than any earplug a child finds uncomfortable. The medical-grade silicone adapts to your child’s ear canal with body heat, forming a soft seal that doesn’t pressure or irritate. Because there’s no hard housing, no cable, and no bulky outer shell, most children stop noticing them within the first few minutes. Parents consistently report that children who rejected earmuffs or foam plugs accepted Kidz without resistance. If they do pull them out, it’s almost always a fit issue — use the AR KI Tech measurement to get the exact size for their ear. Are earplugs safe for children aged 3 and up? Yes. Kidz is made from medical-grade silicone that is BPA, PVC, latex and cadmium free — the same material standard used in surgical instruments. The design was specifically developed for children’s ear canals aged 3 to 12 and has been independently tested by German laboratories to ISO 4869. For children under 3, we recommend earmuffs rather than in-ear protection. Will Kidz stay in during swimming and diving? Yes. Kidz features a waterproof 2-lamella seal that locks against the ear canal wall — including during freestyle, backstroke and diving. It is specifically recommended for children with grommets (ear tubes) or a history of swimmer’s ear. For the most reliable fit in very small or large ear canals, we recommend our AR KI Tech ear measurement. Can my child still hear me while wearing Kidz ? Yes — and that is intentional. Kidz uses high-fidelity filtering that reduces harmful noise levels by an average of 24 dB while keeping speech, voices and instructions clearly audible. Your child will hear their swim instructor, their teacher and you calling them. What gets blocked is the noise that damages: loud music, crowd noise, machinery and traffic. Are they suitable for children with autism, ADHD or sensory processing disorder? Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons parents choose Kidz . For sensory-sensitive children, the biggest problem with earmuffs is that they are visible, bulky, and stigmatising — children refuse them or classmates comment. Kidz sits invisibly in the ear. It filters the harsh edge off loud environments while keeping speech clear, which means your child stays connected to the people around them rather than being shut out completely. Parents of autistic and ADHD children consistently report a meaningful reduction in overstimulation, meltdowns and sensory fatigue. Are they safe for children with grommets or a perforated eardrum? Yes. The waterproof 2-lamella seal is specifically trusted by parents and recommended by ENT specialists for children with tympanostomy tubes (grommets) or perforated eardrums during bathing and swimming. The seal keeps water fully out of the ear canal, eliminating the infection risk that water entry creates. Always confirm with your child’s ENT or GP first, particularly in the early stages after surgery. How do I insert Kidz for my child? Gently pull the top of your child’s outer ear upward and back to open the ear canal. Insert the clean earplugs with a gentle twisting motion until the outer lamella sits flush with the entrance of the ear canal. Do not push them too deep. The removal tab makes it easy to take them out — your child can learn to do this themselves within a few uses. How long does one pair of Kidz last? Each pair is reusable up to 100 times. With daily use, that’s roughly 3 to 4 months from a single pair. Medical-grade silicone retains its shape and resists dirt far better than foam or putty, and the fit actually improves slightly over time as the silicone adapts. Clean after each use with a damp cloth and mild soap, and store in the included aluminium case. What if they don't work for my child? Nothing. You have 40 days to try them. If they leak, fall out, or your child simply won’t wear them, contact us and we’ll refund you in full. No questions, no forms, no back and forth. Trusted by parents in 13 countries and backed by 3,500 verified customer reviews. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Add to Basket
