thanks all for the infoi have found the best to be the bright orange kind you buy at CVS or Target. if those are to hard try the soft purple ones .
docs pro plugs are good but more expensive and i have two different size ear holes so not worth it to me. its no fun when you lose them .
the wax / silicone ones SUCK
^^^^this,Any surf shop that sells Doc's should have the sizing tool and be able to size you up in a couple of seconds.
anyone know of shops in So-cal (ventura, LA, OC) that carry them <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" /> their site has no distribution info.Any surf shop that sells Doc's should have the sizing tool and be able to size you up in a couple of seconds.
i've tried a hood and got water stuck in my ear after duck diving <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" /> wouldn't that continue the surfer's ear problem <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />my ENT recommends wearing a hood.
according to him earplugs don't help much to prevent the bone growth, they help to prevent infections once you've got surfer's ear. But the Hood is the best way to prevent it in the first place
me too. but lately i've had that water in the ear feeling after most of my sessions which i thought was a symptom of surfer's ear. at 37 i figure it could be a start of a problem so while at the doc today for a checkup on other things I asked him to look at my ears for closure. he said it looked like mild bone growth had occurred. time to start using ear plugs i guess <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />I've never worn ear plugs and have never had an ear infection. I usually give it a day or two after a hard rain before getting back in the water.
What's this about bone growth?... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />
losing docs looks to be pretty common <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />Wore(and lost)Doc's for years until I found Mack's ear seals
I've had exostosis surgery done on both of my ears.Can't surf without them.
