Do You Have Sensitive Ears?
Unsure if you have sensitive ears? Before committing to a purchase, you can do a patch test to see if you’re allergic to certain metals or materials. Here’s how you do it:
- Choose an area of skin that is not too sensitive, like the inner part of your forearm.
- Clean the area thoroughly with mild soap and water or an alcohol wipe to remove any oils or dirt.
- Clean the earring part that will be in contact with your skin (the post or hook) using soap and water or an alcohol wipe.
- Place the cleaned part of the earring against the cleaned area on your forearm with an adhesive bandage or medical tape.
- Keep the earring in place for 24-48 hours. Avoid getting the area wet during this time.
- Check the area periodically for signs of redness, itching, swelling, or other irritation.

FAQs
What earring material is best for sensitive ears?
Earrings made from hypoallergenic materials such as stainless steel and sterling silver are the best for sensitive ears. These materials are less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritation than metals like nickel — a common allergen for people with sensitive ears.
What can you wear if you are allergic to earrings?
Wear earrings made from hypoallergenic materials that are gentle to your ears. Avoid earrings containing nickel, as it's a common allergen for many people. You can also consider plastic or acrylic earrings.
Is sterling silver or stainless steel better for sensitive ears?
Both sterling silver and stainless steel are suitable for sensitive ears. Just ensure you’re buying high-quality earrings, especially if you’re getting sterling silver. Look for earrings labelled as "nickel-free" or "hypoallergenic."
