Customer Reviews for Ear Bandit Ultra Swimming Headband

• 5 out of 5 Great! Children love them

  Newitts Verified Purchase (1 Dec 2022)

  I'm so impressed with this headband. My 5 and 3 year olds find them really comfortable, no complaints getting them on and off and they can still hear well enough in their swimming lesson. I think they are also swimming more confidently now as now they're not feeling the water going into their ears. We use them with the ear putty which they also love and has been really effective! Great product, good price! Definitely recommend for those prone to swimmers ear or similar!

  Great product with fast efficient delivery has given my son a huge amount of confidence now in the pool.

• 4 out of 5 EarBandit

  Newitts Verified Purchase (17 Nov 2021)

  Fantastic product. LIFE CHANGING. Not given five stars because as a pro swimmer it is difficult to move Your head whilst training with it on. I would LOVE the product to be adapted with a narrower band behind the neck/back of the head to make it easier to breathe/move the head during butterfly/breaststroke.

• 5 out of 5 Perfect! Helps keep water out of ears, also great at keeping head warm!

  Newitts Verified Purchase (13 Oct 2021)

  Great little item and very reasonable priced with this company, also quick delivery.... would definitely buy from this Newitts again. Happy customer, many thanks.

• 5 out of 5 Brilliant

  Newitts Verified Purchase (25 Aug 2021)

  Very pleased I bought this for my son who suffers from ear infections everytime we go swimming. I bought in large based on other reviews even though he's 6 and doesn't have that big of a head, I'm glad I did, it goes on well with plenty of room to grow into. Along with the ear putty, the headband keeps out the water and I have a child who is less fearful of putting his head under water since. Newitts' delivery was quick and the price was very reasonable.

• 5 out of 5 Swimming Headband

  Newitts Verified Purchase (7 Jan 2020)

  I got the product to assist with keeping in ear plugs as these annoyingly kept falling out. It has made a 100% improvement and I no longer loose my hearing for an hour or so after swimming since I started using it. I recommend it.

• 4 out of 5 Excellent product

  I have been using this product while I swim because a very severe ear infection has left me with ongoing ear problems. The product works really well at keeping earplugs in and water out. My only issue is with having ling hair it catches in the velcro.

• 5 out of 5 Ideal to keep ears dry

  Newitts Verified Purchase (9 Aug 2019)

  This was brilliant- it meant our little boy, who has recurring ear infections, could join in & splash in the pool on holiday - thank you.

  amazing product bought for daughter after she had gromits has really helped her confidence

• 5 out of 5 Get this product with the moldable silicone ear plugs.

  Newitts Verified Purchase (25 Mar 2019)

  I found this product after extensive research to prevent repeat ear aches and infections. Ear plugs just don't work and when your ear aches a bit you can't push anything into the canal. You need the moldable silicone plugs with the ear bandit and as they go in the outer part of the ear and are slightly sticky they form a good seal.Wear the ear bandit over the top and never get water in your ears again. Only downside is you can't wear a swimming cap to protect you hair. My ears are more important though so I would highly recommend these products when used together.

• 5 out of 5 Excellent producy

• 5 out of 5 Pensioner

  Newitts Verified Purchase (4 Jul 2017)

  As a pensioner I found I needed grommets inserted. I go to aquafit 4 times a week which I did not wish to give up. The ear band is excellent and after the initial wearing of the band I am no longer self conscious and in fact I have been approached by many as to where I bought it as they have similar problems. Obviously directed them to Newitts!!

• 5 out of 5 ultra earband

  Brilliant design, easy to put on and keeps water well and truly out! - nothing else I tried was as effective.

• 5 out of 5 Ear bandit Ultra Swimming Headband

  Newitts Verified Purchase (9 May 2016)

  This is fantastic. Stops water getting into my daughters ear. Comes up quite small though. She's 7 and I ordered a medium headband and seems quite tight around her head. Does the job though.

• 5 out of 5 Brilliant head band

  Newitts Verified Purchase (27 Mar 2016)

  My daughter loves her new headband... It keeps her ear plug in and her ear dry whilst swimming. Perfect to stop the ear getting wet whilst her ear drum heals. Much easier to put on than a swimming hat. Great colour too... Pink is her favourite colour.

• 5 out of 5 ,Good product

  Newitts Verified Purchase (23 Feb 2016)

  I bought this because I have a large perforation in my ear. I had been wearing plugs and a hat but I required even more reinforcement. I must not get water in hear. So I wear plugs, the band and a hat and that works for me

• 5 out of 5 Great product

  Newitts Verified Purchase (6 Feb 2016)

  Use this with our 19 month old. Fits well & keeps the ear plugs out of her reach & in place. She is comfortable in it and it's easy to use. Great service from Newitts

  This is the second I have bought for my Grandson who has a perforated ear drum, along with wax ear plugs his ears are kept safe and dry , would highly recommend this product, it enables him to swim which he loves so much.....fantastic

• 4 out of 5 Ear Band Ultra works

  Newitts Verified Purchase (15 Aug 2015)

  We bought two of these prior to a holiday to Spain, our 6yr old only 4 weeks after he had grommets in. He was able to swim with confidence as the ear bands gave him security that his ear plugs wouldn't fall out. Recommend this as it's easy to use, he could affix it himself and learned to trust it.

• 5 out of 5 Ear Bandit Ultra-Fantastic

  Newitts Verified Purchase (17 Jun 2015)

  We have a number of these headbands for my daughter who has had numerous ear surgery since she was very young. She is now 8 and we have to take great care to minimise water ingress to her ear. The ear bandit ultra, in my experience, is the best swimming band we have found. It is of high quality, comes in a good choice of colours and the neoprene backing help to keep it where is should be, which is where most fail. I would highly recommending to anyone and the price is good for the quality.

• 5 out of 5 Very pleased

  Newitts Verified Purchase (7 Feb 2015)

  Bought ear band-it along with buddies and they work excellently both at home in shower and swimming pool for son with ear problems.

  Newitts Verified Purchase (12 Nov 2014)

  My kids love the headband, the are more confident in the water and are even happier trying back stroke, something my 2 year old used to hate! Id definitely recommend this product.

• 5 out of 5 Ear bandit ultra

  Newitts Verified Purchase (18 Oct 2014)

  Love this product. Lovely bright colours and my 2yr old son loved wearing it with his ear plugs. Not sure if it's just my son having a huge head but the small didn't fit. Explained this and arranged to send it back for a medium which fitted perfectly. Happy to exchange and really easy to deal with.

• 5 out of 5 No More EarAche !

  Newitts Verified Purchase (15 Sep 2014)

  I am allergic to chlorine in pools etc and suffered until I found the Ear Bandit. I am now onto my third ! The latest Ultra II is a significant improvement and when used in conjunction with ear plugs, a great ear protector. I love orange ones !

• 5 out of 5 Ear Band

  Newitts Verified Purchase (22 Jul 2014)

  Ideal product for my child who's suffered from several ear infections. It covers the ears and gives buoyancy in the water.

• 4 out of 5 Mostly satisfied

  Newitts Verified Purchase (29 May 2014)

  Having previously used this product for my children I found it was appealing to them and kept the water out of the ears with ear buddies as well. However, I found that the material frays on both head bands after a period of use. This doesn't affect the ability to work but isn't as asthetically pleasing

• 5 out of 5 Ear Bandit Ultra Headband

  Newitts Verified Purchase (12 May 2014)

  Great product. I bought it for my 4yr old as he has gromits. Much better than the original which we originally purchased and it ripped at the velco in back. The ultra headband is wider and therefore looks much sturdier. The ultra band doesn't have the insert that the original headband has which is great because it constantly stuck to the wax earplugs and was very difficult to peel off. Liking the Ultra headband much better than the original!

• 5 out of 5 Ear Bandit Ultra Headband

  Newitts Verified Purchase (11 Mar 2014)

  Purchased this after seeing a child in the swimming pool with one on. I have only worn it once so far but my initial thoughts are that this band certainly does the job for me. It is very comfortable to wear - you can have it has tight on your head as you like because of the velcro fastening at the back.I used it in conjunction with the Ear Putty and whilst getting the putty in your ear and it feeling comfortable was a bit fiddly - it again certainly was of benefit at keeping the water out of my ears. I could dive and go underwater quite comfortably in the knowledge that no water was going in my ears. I would recommend the Ear Bandit to anyone who prefers to keep water from their ears whilst swimming.

• 5 out of 5 ear band it ultra

  Newitts Verified Purchase (9 Mar 2014)

  Bought this for my son and it seems to be performing well. It is thicker than the normal ear band it but it doesn't keep the water out completely which we knew from previous experience but our son uses this with an ear plug. Good quality and our other one lasted a year before we had to replace it with this new one. Highly recommend.

• 5 out of 5 Excellent cheap fast service

  Newitts Verified Purchase (28 Jan 2014)

  I bought an Ear Band-It ultra over New Year. The item was excellently priced and surprisingly quickly delivered given the time of year. No problems there. Unfortunately my gigantic head meant I had to return the item as it wouldn't fit me. Again, Newitts were very fast and professional in arranging the return of the item for a refund. Would definitely use again.

  Newitts Verified Purchase (5 Jan 2014)

  My grandson aged two and a half is to undergo grommets at the end of this month, and we bought the ear bandit ultra in anticipation, we have used it for hair washing and it is very satisfactory and he obviously finds it comfortable and fun to use, think we are going to need another of these fantastic headbands in the near future to allow for constant usage, would recommend to all who need ear protection in water

  Newitts Verified Purchase (19 Nov 2013)

  Very good product - helps keeps my sons ears dry while swimming which is essential as has gromets. Plus it looks really stylish!

• 4 out of 5 Ear Bandit Ultra Headband

  Newitts Verified Purchase (30 Oct 2013)

  Something that works. My grandson suffers with his ears and this does the trick with the ear plugs. However I did buy the swimming cap for him and this kept popping off his head. 2 out of 3 not bad nowadays.

• 5 out of 5 Stress free holiday!

  Having just got over a bad ear infection, my 3 year olds doctor told us not to get water in her ears on holiday! Panic!!.. I had to quickly find a solution, knewing nothing about different ear plugs etc..luckily I found this site, read the reviews and purchased 2 sets of the coloured ear plugs and the ultra head band! Fantastic!! They also arrived very quickly...After a couple of attempts I found the ear plugs easy to shape and fit. The head band was great, never slipped and totally kept the water out her ears... Needless to say, I managed to relax on holiday without stressing everytime she got her head wet. Thoroughly recommend!

  Newitts Verified Purchase (30 Aug 2013)

  I have found this product to completely fulfil its purpose. It is extremely comfortable to wear and has allowed me to become much more relaxed whilst swimming and to also lose 2 stone so far! I have been asked frequently at my gym 'what it is' and have recommended the ear bandit highly. Many people have indicted their wish to purchase one. I am very. very happy with my purchase.

  Newitts Verified Purchase (27 May 2013)

  my 4yr old was so afraid of getting another ear infection that he didn't want water near his ears .He loves these and never forgets to ask for his ear plugs and head band. original bought him a medium but went back to get a small cause the band stretches after a while. enjoy

• 5 out of 5 Just the job
