Swimming is a wonderful exercise, and Mack's Ear Care helps to prevent swimmer's ear and other maladies. In 1962, rising symphony orchestra musician Ray Benner collaborated with an almost-retired pharmacist who was interested in selling earplugs. Benner, an avid swimmer, diligently worked and created the first silicone earplug- and aptly changed the name to the more aesthetic Mack's Pillow Soft Ear Plugs. Mack, the name of the previous owner, has expanded their product line to encompass several different types of ear protection products.
