Best Ear Plugs

They only have two sizes, the smaller of the two barely fit
For reference Surfears I wear the large
Wrong. Was recently at ENT and he said it is cold water that does it. Not water- in Hawaii it is not a problem (for surfers). Not cold- it is not a problem in Minneasota (there’s cold wind all winter). It is COLD WATER.

It's wind and water. Wind expedites the process through evaporative cooling.
My ENT surgeon said they are not sure there is speculation both ways. He did say he read a paper where they speculate that the body is evolving in reaction to the cold water the same way mammals, like seals, returned to the seas.
I just hope I develop some sonar sooner than later.

Anyone ever had docs plugs(or other) forced too far in to get out?
I know it's not likely but I don't know, the ocean can really do some crazy stuff sometimes, I've stuck some pretty big stuff in my ear before, not to be to kinky or nuthin' but that's a thing I've done.?

I know ENTs who have seen extostosis in surfers who have never surfed in cold water - though not to the degree of severity in cold water surfers.
Also, how does one separate cold water from evaporative cooling due to airflow? (answer: you can't)
Ah yes! I had a pair of these that I ended up losing somewhere out of the water and could not, for the life of me, remember what the brand was.
Also +1 for Docs pro plugs, no leash
Went out this afternoon with my tried and true Mack’s silicone. Why do I try to use anything else?
Best waves in a month by far. It was a little inconsistent for how short the interval was, but about as rippable as it gets around me.
Lightning and hail made it an extra interesting experience,. A strike happened pretty damn close to me. We were warned by LACLA that the beaches were closed from Pt. Fermin to Will Rodgers, but the lifeguard acknowledged how good it was and just said what he needed to say.
A strike hit probably 150 yards away and my toes are still tingling and my heart felt like it missed a beat or two. I got my best barrel in probably a month so I was still stocked on the session despite marble-sized hail doing the top of my ears in.
