Water-Free Ears

Few things are more annoying than water trapped in your ears after swimming, a bath or a shower. Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.-based Cirrus Health Products has come to the rescue with an addition to its line of ear care products: ClearEars, billed as the world’s first water-absorbing ear plug. Containing an FDA-approved polymer that draws water from the ears, ClearEars can help prevent swimmer’s ear, a painful outer-ear infection common in summer. A package of five pairs of plugs retails for a suggested $5.99. For more information, visit www.cirrushealthcare.com.
