DocsProPlugs - Preformed Vented Earplugs (Pair) Clear with Leash - Tiny

I had issues with water in my ears from the start of scuba diving. Finally, read about Doc's Ear Plugs. I'm not guaranteeing perfect results, because ear issues require a doctor's involvement. That includes me, with many visits to the ENT doctor, plus a tube in one ear drum. So I can't dive without ear plugs in order to prevent ear infections. I've been down to 110 feet without any serious problem while using Doc's Ear Plugs (the ones that allow air in but keep water out; there are different versions for keeping the ear blocked for surfing or pool use). Some dive instructors say you can't use ear plugs, but they don't realize that you CAN equalize your ear pressure when using Doc's Ear Plugs. I recommend you practice in a pool before dropping to any depth below 10 feet.

Product was as advertised. Comfortable

These seem to work pretty well. Have been swimming with them regularly for the past month or so and they keep the water out as well as the silicon ones I have used for years. Once you become accustomed to the leash (keeping it behind your neck and looping it through your swim goggles, etc.) its a pretty good feature -- helps keep the set together. I like that I can hear better with these. I thought that the fact they are clear, in fact nearly invisible if they fall off, was going to be a problem, but the fact that they float mean they can easily be located if they do get lost in the water. Make sure you get the right size however (pay attention to the sizing chart, found elsewhere -- Google it) or you may not be satisfied. I like these pretty well and would recommend them for the reasons stated above.UPDATE: I stopped using these not long after writing this review. I guess it was inevitable that the thin plastic lanyard would break with all the activity that comes with swimming. Once they got separated, they were almost impossible to recover due to their almost-invisibility. I am back to the silicons! Really, if you are serious about keeping water out of your ears, do yourself a favor and go with the soft silicon or bees wax. Rating changed from four to three-stars since they actually are pretty effective if you can keep track of them.

We tried on and bought this brand at a dive shop. The sales person suggested a larger size but they didn't seem to fit comfortably and they only had the size my husband wanted and not mine. They offered to order for us but we live an hour away from this shop plus their shipping charges added quite a bit to the price.I ordered the other size from Amazon and took them on our trip.Either we still didn't order the right size or we used them incorrectly (even after instructions from the dive shop) because they just aren't comfortable. We'll continue to use them but I'm not 100% happy with them.

I’ve lost quite a few of the pro plugs when either paddling through a wave or wiping out. To solve that problem add an elastic band that goes over your head but is somewhat tight around you neck. Tie/secure the leashed proplugs to the band and you won’t lose them again…
