On the company site it does but this does not say on here. However its the same price** A: Putty Buddies ear plugs are sold separately on Amazon. The Ear Band-It headband is NOT packaged with ear plugs but the Putty Buddies ear plugs are available to purchase separately in 3-pair packs. **Q: Is this recommendable for water days for school? Also do we still need to wear ear plugs even though we arent in a pool?** A: The Ear Band-it would work but the child would need to wear the ear plugs with the Band-it. The band helps keep the ear plugs in place and doesn't allow the child easy access to play with or take out the ear plugs. **Q: How do you know what size to get?** A: You can go by our recommended age ranges or the best way is the measure the head just as the headband would be worn. Start at the hairline at the forehead and go diagonally across the ears to the hairline at the neck on the backside. Then reference our size chart/recommended age ranges. SMALL fits head size 16"-20". Recommended age range 1-3 years. MEDIUM fits head size 17"-21". Recommended age range 4-9 years. LARGE fits head size 19.5"-24". Recommended age range 10 years to adult. **Q: Wear hearing aids. Need to protect while walking in water. Recommend?** A: The Ear Band-It can be used as a splash guard but is to be used with caution. If too much water comes into contact with the headband earplugs should be used to block water. If going under water earplugs should be used.
