      Hello!
      I have an odd question! I am going to Cancun on my honeymoon in May! But I already have professional ear plugs that work great, but so I need water ear plugs for swimming or if we go diving? Or can I even go in the water?

      Sorry, I just got confused!

      Try not to let tinnitus stop you from enjoying life and doing everything that you want to within reason. I advise to wear earplugs for swimming and enjoy yourself. Try not to use your professional earplugs too often. There is a tendency for some people to use earplugs to suppress normal everyday sounds such as traffic noise and when travelling by train. It's not a good idea as the auditory system can become hypersensitive if one isn't careful. Below a is a link on hyperacusis (sensitivity to sound) that you might find helpful
      All the best

      Hi @Jamie m ,
      Get some molded ear plugs made for swimming like my son did and a bit of vasaline on them will help keep the water out and a nose clip.....lots of love glynis
