Meet the new SurfEars 4.0, vented earplugs that protect your ears, enhance comfort, and respect the planet. Designed to keep water out while letting sound in, SurfEars 4.0 lets surfers, swimmers, divers, and kayakers stay fully connected to the ocean.

The latest version introduces a refined fit system, stronger materials, and replaceable parts for longer life and less waste. Made partly from recycled ocean plastics and upgraded silicone, it offers better comfort, improved durability, and a more sustainable design.

Whether you’re surfing cold waves, diving deep, or paddling calm waters, SurfEars 4.0 is built to handle it all, keeping your ears safe from infections, pressure, and hearing loss while letting you hear clearly and stay in tune with the sea.

Stay connected. Stay protected. SurfEars 4.0.

 

Our story began in 2011, when founder and cold-water surfer Christian Dittrich faced a painful ear infection during a surf trip to Morocco. The cause was Surfer’s ear, a common condition among those who spend their lives in cold water. Unable to hear and surf for days, Christian realized how much hearing shapes our connection to the ocean.

Determined to find a better solution, he teamed up with fellow surfers, designers, and engineers to create an earplug that could block water without blocking sound. After countless prototypes and cold-water tests, SurfEars was born, the first truly vented earplug that lets you hear, feel, and perform naturally in the water.

Since the first version launched in 2014, we’ve continuously refined the design to make SurfEars lighter, more comfortable, and more durable. With SurfEars 4.0, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned from over a decade of innovation and built the most advanced earplug for water athletes yet.

SurfEars exists for everyone who loves the ocean, to keep you connected, safe, and free to do what you love.
