An earplug is a device that is meant to be inserted in the ear canal to protect the user's ears from loud noises or the intrusion of water, foreign bodies, dust or excessive wind.
Some earplugs are primarily designed to keep water out of the ear canal, especially during swimming and water sports. This type of earplug may be made of wax or moldable silicone which is custom-fitted to the ear canal by the wearer.
Exostosis, or Surfer's ear, is a condition which affects people who spend large amounts of time in water in cold climates. In addition, wind may increase the prevalence of the amount of exostosis seen in one ear versus the other dependent on the direction it originates from and the orientation of the individual to the wind. Custom-fitted surfer's earplugs help reduce the amount of cold water and wind that is allowed to enter the external ear canal and, thus, help slow the progression of exostosis.
A 2003 study published in Clinical Otolaryngology found that a cotton ball saturated with petroleum jelly was more effective at keeping water out of the ear, was easier to use, and was more comfortable than wax plugs, foam plugs, EarGuard, or Aquafit.
When the moment is mine I turn back in time
The secrets I keep lay deep, come and seek
Where eyes look through you showing they can't see
An empty gaze staring into vacancy
With nothing inside hiding from your view
Always distant to the unknown new
When sense without a meaning is put into words
A strange coincidence dicovers little hurts
Like needles pinning inside of your heart
The scepticism's tearing you apart
Took for dead but still alive
Sometimes it's coming up and lets you see
Took for dead but still alive
Releases your instinct gives new identity
An evil seed is growing from the deep
Lays shadows over parts that seem asleep
Its weakening abilities to feel
