I was diagnosed with labyrinthitis about six weeks ago. i am feeling mostly better and wondering if i can swim again? also are all earplugs effective?

Yes: Labyrynthitis is commonly viral in origin and usually resolves in 6 weeks. Ear plugs can prevent bacterial ear infections but not viral labyrynthitis.
