A DOC'S PROPLUG protects the ear by keeping a warm pocket of air in the canal and keeps most cold water out without impeding hearing and balance.
Scott's valve, a hole (vent) in the inner diaphragm, allows the transfer of air and thus sound waves and differences in air pressure while water does not pass through the hole in wipeouts. The surface water tension on the outside of the valve keeps the water out, but lets air and voice in. Anyone with severe narrowing of the ear canal can avoid frequent water blockage by wearing PROPLUGS.
In some cases, surfer's ear can only be cured through surgery. However, the latest research suggests that severe exostosis can be slowed by keeping the ears religiously warm around the clock with plugs and woolen/silk head bands, hats, or hoods, especially when sleeping at night.
Sizing Instructions for Doc’s ProPlugs
- Look in the mirror
- Place this strip against your ear.
- Hold various sizes over your auricle.
- Buy the Proplug size that completely covers your auricle.
- Confirm size with the “hum” test.
* These instructions are designed for the Doc’s sizing kit which includes a transparent sizing sheet. If you print the sheet that is under the “images” tab, you can get a pretty close idea of what size you need without purchasing the Doc’s sizing kit.
Put the plug in your right ear. HUM, and if the sound travels toward the right ear, you have the correct size. If the HUM test is negative, try a larger or smaller size.
