How long can I re-use the Silicone Earplugs before they need to be replaced?

The earplugs may be re-used until they are dirty or no longer sticky (up to 5 uses). Keeping your hands and ears clean and dry prior to handling/applying the earplugs will help prolong the usable life of the earplugs.

What are the silicone earplugs made of and do they contain latex?

The earplugs are made of moldable, non-irritating silicone rubber and do not contain any latex.

Can the earplugs be cleaned?

No. Keeping your hands and ears clean and dry prior to handling/applying the earplugs will help prolong the useable life of the earplugs.

Are there any additional application tips to help me get an airtight / watertight seal with the earplugs?

First try re-reading the directions, then apply a fresh pair of earplugs, making sure your hands and ears are clean and dry. Moldable silicone earplugs are designed to stick to the surface of a clean, dry ear. If the earplugs are being used in a moist and/or dirty environment, be sure the hands and ears are clean and dry before applying or re-inserting the earplugs or a proper seal may not be achieved. A sign that you have achieved a proper seal is that your own voice will sound more internal and exaggerated. Lastly, try covering the ear canal with the earplug starting from the rear and moving toward the face. This technique squeezes out some of the air in the ear canal before sealing it shut, thus creating a bit of a suction effect. This last technique takes a little practice but creates an excellent seal when done correctly.

Can I break the earplugs in half for smaller sized ears?

No. The earplugs are designed to cover the ear canal. Breaking them into smaller pieces may cause the user to push the earplug into the ear canal making it more difficult to remove. We recommend using Mack's® Kid's Size Silicone Earplugs for children six and under.

Will the earplugs melt if they are exposed to warm temperatures?

Absolutely not. The earplugs may become slightly more pliable when exposed to warm temperatures, but never viscous. Each batch of material is stability tested in our lab at over 170ºC/350 degrees F. (The typical temperature for a hot tub and sauna is 40ºC/104 degrees F and 76ºC/170 degrees F respectively.) To date, not a single test has shown positive results for melting or shape transformation (instability).

Are the moldable silicone earplugs safe to use for flying discomfort? If so, when and how do I use them?

These earplugs have been used while flying since the early 1960's and our users report them to be safe and effective for reducing flying discomfort. In addition, Dr. Ira Rubin, MD, PhD has found Mack's® Silicone earplugs to be an effective tool in preventing ear pain in children, especially infants, during plane trips. As he is quoted in a leading pediatric journal: "When molded to the ear canal, they protect the ear from painful air pressure changes and reduce noise as well. Parents report that ear plugs work especially well with infants when left in place for the entire flight. I suggest a trial run a week before the trip if parents anticipate a child's refusing to leave the ear plugs in place." It is believed that the plugs slow down and/or decrease the effects of the pressure changes, thus allowing the ears more time to respond and equalize. As mentioned above, another manner by which the plugs help is by lowering the noise levels in the cabin allowing the user to rest, thus helping combat the effects of jet lag. The benefit of this rest is twofold in that is also helps calm and relax the "tense" flyer, thus allowing them to equalize more effectively. If you are suffering from an ear health condition, we recommend you consult an E.N.T. (ear, nose, and throat doctor) before flying while using the earplugs. As the earplugs are only to be used as an aid, the user needs to take an active roll in trying to prevent the onset of the discomfort. The person should try to stay ahead of and prevent the discomfort by trying to "clear" their ears by one of the various known methods. This is especially important during descent when most of the discomfort occurs. One of the methods involves plugging the nose while applying slight blowing pressure while holding one's breath. Another method is to chew gum. It is not the gum itself, but the wide opening motion of the jaw and the act of swallowing that helps aid in the equalization process. Therefore, either faking it or merely munching on some snacks can achieve the same results. We recommend wearing the earplugs the entire flight, up until the airplane has landed and the cabin has been depressurized.

Are all styles of Mack's® moldable silicone earplugs dual purpose? In other words, will all the Mack's® moldable silicone earplugs help reduce noise AND block out water?

Yes. While we market our moldable silicone putty ear plugs using a variety of names and colors for several different target markets, they all provide the same great noise reduction and water blocking characteristics.

Are your moldable silicone earplugs antimicrobial?

No. They are not antimicrobial. Mack's silicone naturally resists degradation from microbes for the useful life of the product (up to 5 uses).

What are the earplugs made of and do they contain latex?

The earplugs are made of pre-molded, non-irritating silicone rubber and do not contain any latex.

Can the earplugs be cleaned?

Yes. The earplugs can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water. Dry thoroughly before re-inserting into ear canal.

Are these earplugs designed to seal out water and reduce noise?

No. These earplugs were specifically designed to provide superior water protection. That is not to say that they cannot be used for noise protection, but the product does not currently carry a Noise Reduction Rating, nor does it make any claims that it is designed to be used for hearing protection. In fact, surfers opt for this earplug just because it protects from the water without reducing the noise. It allows them to continue to listen to what is happening around, even with protected ears.

Are there any application tips to help me get an airtight/watertight seal with the earplugs?

First try re-inserting after carefully re-reading the directions. If you still have trouble getting the earplug to seal, re-insert and wiggle the stem while gently pushing the earplug to form a waterproof seal. If you are still having trouble inserting the earplug into the ear canal, try inserting it with the tip pointed slightly forward toward your face. A sign that the earplug is sealing properly is that your own voice will sound more internal and exaggerated. Another way to check that you have a proper seal is to grip the stem of the plug and wiggle it (ever so slightly) in and out. A properly sealed plug will create a slight suction effect.

Can these earplugs be used on children?

We recommend you consult an E.N.T. (ear, nose, and throat doctor) so that they can help you determine if the earplugs are safe for your particular application. While these earplugs were designed for older kids and adults, doctors and parents have use the flanged earplugs on kids as young as 7 years of age. We recommend using the Mack's® Kids Size Silicone earplugs for children 6 and under. In most cases, it will simply depend on the size of the individual's ear canals. Usage should always be supervised by an adult and the plug should only be used if it can be fit comfortably and effectively to the ear canal.

These earplugs are suitable to avoid the surfer's ear?

Aquablock® is effectively the Mack´s product most suitable to prevent the surfer's ear and is widely used by practitioners of water sports including surfing. They can be used in chlorinated water and salt. They should not be used in scuba diving or depths greater than 3 meters.

DRY-N-CLEAR® | 

Helps get the water out of your ears

DRY-N-CLEAR® | Helps get the water out of your ears

Mack's Dry-n-Clear® ear drops help relieve the discomfort of water-clogged ears from swimming, bathing, showering, scuba diving, surfing, etc. by drying excess water.

Formulated with a unique moisturizing agent that helps dry excess water while conditioning the delicate lining of the ear canal.

The application is simple: 4-5 drops in the affected ear, with effective action.

Due to its composition, predominantly alcohol solution and after contact with water, the product will cause evaporation thereof.

This process is softened by the action of glycerin that not only reduces the possible overheating by the action of alcohol, but also contributes to greater comfort during application.

Can I use the ear drying aid and earplugs in conjunction with one another?

If you would like to use both products, we recommend applying the ear drying aid after using the earplugs, rather than using them simultaneously.
Note: If you are using moldable silicone earplugs, be sure that the ear canal is clean and dry before re-inserting the earplugs. This will help assure that you get an airtight/watertight seal over the ear canal.

Why is Mack's Dry-n-Clear® ear drying aid better than the old home remedies?

Our ear drying aid contains a special moisturizing agent that is designed to dry out the excess water while helping condition the thin delicate skin lining the ear canal. It is this delicate skin that must be kept healthy to help prevent the painful outer ear infection known as "swimmer's ear".

What first aid measures should be taken if these ear drops are misused?

The following measures should be taken:

Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.

Skin Irritation: Immediately and thoroughly wash off with soap and water.

Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical attention.

Inhalation: N/A.

What are the active ingredients in the ear drying aid solution?

The active ingredients are Isopropyl Alcohol - 95%, Anhydrous Glycerin - 5%. Both ingredients assist in drying moisture from the ear canal, while the glycerin also helps condition the delicate lining of the ear canal.

How Dry-n-Clear® should be used?

Ear drops Dry-n-Clear® should be used only in the ear canal. Should apply 4-5 drops in the affected ear.

Ask for advice prior to using the product, with your doctor or pharmacist if: ear discharge or pus; pain, irritation or redness in the ear; post-surgery in the ear; wound or perforation of the eardrum or dizziness.

Suspend the use and consult a physician in case of irritation or sensitivity.

Is Mack's® Ear Band waterproof?

While ear bands help resist water from light splashing, they are not designed to be waterproof. They are designed to help keep water out while holding earplugs more securely in place, forming a watertight system. For young children that aren't yet comfortable wearing hearing protection, the ear bands are especially helpful with keeping them from picking at their ears. They give adults an added sense of protection while wearing ear plugs in the water. Any of Mack's® Silicone Earplugs are ideally suited for use underneath the Mack's® Ear Band.

Can Mack's® Ear Bands be washed?

Under normal use in a chlorinated pool, tub or shower, washing should not be necessary. Always allow ear band to air dry after each use to prevent mold or mildew growth. If washing is needed, gently hand wash with mild detergent and air dry.

Can Mack's® Ear Bands be used post-surgery to help hold medical packing in place and help aid in recovery?

Many doctors use the ear bands for this purpose. Please consult your doctor before using the ear bands for this purpose.

How do I know Mack's® Ear Band will fit my head?

Mack's Ear Bands feature a high quality stretchable neoprene and a 7,6cm adjustable Velcro® type connection, so they can be adjusted to fit a wide range of head sizes. Our 2-color, reversible, adjustable neoprene headband is designed to fit most kids to medium-sized adult heads.

Can I dive into the water while wearing Mack's® Ear Band?

We do not recommend diving into the water with the ear band as the ear band may come off. Jumping into the water feet first, general splashing/playing, and recreational swimming should not pose a problem.

How long will a Mack's® Ear Band last?

The life of a Mack's® Ear Band will depend greatly on how often it is used and how it is cared for, but they will generally last somewhere in the range of 2 to 5 years.

Can Mack's® Ear Band be used to help keep ears warm?

Yes. Mack's® Ear Bands will help keep ears warm during cold water and winter activities, yet they are not so thick that they will feel hot during warm weather water activities.

Is it hard to get children to wear Mack's® Ear Bands?

Given that Mack's® Ear Bands are much more comfortable and better looking than bathing caps and the alternative is to not swim at all, most kids are happy to wear Mack's® Ear Band. They may take a few minutes to get used to wearing the ear band, but they usually forget they have it on after several minutes. Kids that have experienced the pain and discomfort of nasty recurring ear infections, will often seek out their Mack's® Earplugs and Ear Bands before entering the water.
