Hi Lisa, There are 2 ways you can use the Lifeproof case with earphones. The first one is to plug your earphones straight into the phone through the hole in the Lifeproof case. This way means the case it not fully waterproof since water would get in around the earphones through the hole and yes, the hole is only big enough for the small diameter jack of the Apple headset.
If you want the case to be fully waterproof without using a headset, you use a little plug which screws into that hole, it has an actual thread and you screw the plug in tight and no water can get in. If you want the case to be waterproof and use a headset, you use a little 2 or so inch adapter cable. It plugs into the headset port of the phone and you also screw it down just like the plug. As soon as you tighten it all the way, the jack of that adapter is down in the headset jack of the phone and the external speaker is disabled. Now on the other end is a female plug-in where you plug in your headset and here you could use any headset you want including a waterproof headset. No water can get through the actual short cable/adapter and nothing can get into the hole since it is completely sealed.

I thought this was a waterproof rather than just water resistant case, so was just curious. Also what kind of headphones can you use. The cases I currently have will only allow me to use headphones with cables the same size as the Apple earbuds that came with the iPhone. I don't mean the size of the jack, I mean the case cutout for the headphone is too narrow to allow me to connect headphones unless their cable is as narrow as the Apple earbuds. That cable is narrow enough to slip into the case and connect the jack to the phone. Hope this makes since. Lisa if I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my Dog!
