Sarah Hoffman: "I became a certified scuba diver last year, and found that the more I dived, the more my ears hurt afterwards."

Mark B. Jamison, DDS: "As a dentist, I am exposed to high frequency noises all day long. Knowing that this exposure will cause permanent and premature hearing loss I needed something that could prevent this."

Jeannie Miller: "Both of my children have tubes in their ears."

Diana Gatto: "My son has had 10 operations involving his ears suffering from Colestitoma. I recommend Proplugs to all of my friends. It has been instrumental in saving my son's hearing."

Gordon Berg: "As a ten year user of Proplugs to keep out the loud sounds, the tinitis in my left ear has actually improved."

Susheel J. Kurien: "I've had a lot of trouble equalizing in the past and have often had to deal with MEB (middle ear barotrauma)... and was pleasantly surprised that my first dive with [proplugs] were painless and very comfortable."

Mark Zurl: "Proplugs have allowed me to continue to enjoy my favorite hobby when a ruptured eardrum threatened to take me out of the water forever."

Karen Edwards: "Every single time I went on a diving trip I experienced an ear infection. . Not only did the Proplugs stay put, but for the first time in 8 years, I got to spend 3 weeks on Maui diving and not being sick. I have absolutely no trouble equalizing and I have never had one come out!"

Ant Ant: "Doc's Proplugs work really well, I have been wearing them for two weeks now, and they have not fallen out once."

Jason 'Ratboy' Collins: "Doc's Proplugs are crucial for surfing.Without Proplugs you will develop surfers ear and then need your ears to be drilled."

David M. Eastman: "I do not believe I would be diving if they were not available"


I became a certified scuba diver last year, and found that the more I dived, the more my ears hurt afterwards. My ears hurt for days after snorkeling too. When clearing my ears while diving, I would experience a very painful 'pinch' which I was afraid was going to do some lasting damage to my hearing. I had finally found a hobby I was passionate about, and thought I would have to give it up! I read about the Proplugs in a diving magazine and decided they were definitely worth a try. They stayed in my ears well, I could hear just fine due to the tiny hole for this purpose, and would basically forget that I was wearing them, except for when I thought about how easy it now was to clear my ears!
Thanks again,
Sarah

As a dentist, I am exposed to high frequency noises all day long. Knowing that this exposure will cause permanent and premature hearing loss I needed something that could prevent this. Doc's Proplugs was the answer. Using the vented Proplug's, it removes that high pitched noise that can cause so much damage to your ears, yet since it is vented, I can carry on conversations with my staff and patients wth no problem at all. Furthermore, by being manufactured out of a rubberized material they are easy to keep clean, are very comfortable, and are clear (they can be colored if desired) so no one can really tell you're wearing them. Thanks again Doc !!

Dear Doc's Proplugs,
I have 2 children, one 5 years old, and one just under 2. Both of my children have tubes in their ears. I am very thankful for the Proplugs. As a person, who also had tubes in my ears at a young age, I had to wear the uncomfortable over the counter plugs with a swimming cap. I was teased constantly. I'm glad my children will not have to go through that.
Sincerely,
Jeannie Miller

Dear Doc's Proplugs,
My son has been benefiting from your product for over 6 years. I originally got a set for both of my sons when they both had tubes in their ears several years ago. Since then I have used them year round on my youngest son. He has had 10 operations involving his ears suffering from Colestitoma. He now has long term tubes in his ears to keep the air flowing and I am glad to report he has regained his hearing and is disease free for the first time in 10 years. He is only 12! He used you product in the shower as well as the pool and beach. Your product has enabled him to lead a normal life especially in the summer. Thank you for making such a terrific product. I recommend it to all of my friends. It has been instrumental in saving my son's hearing.
Thank you,
Diana Gatto

Dear Doc's Proplugs,
I've just come back from a vacation in the Dominican Republic that included some diving in Sosua Bay. I've had a lot of trouble equalizing in the past and have often had to deal with MEB (middle ear barotrauma), characterized by nosebleeds and more when surfacing. I bought a pair of your vented proplugs and tried them out this time and was pleasantly surprised that my first dive with them was painless and very comfortable. This seems like a great product that more people need to know about.
Best wishes,
Susheel J. Kurien

My name is Mark Zurl. As an avid technical diver, I can only say that Proplugs have allowed me to continue to enjoy my favorite hobby when a ruptured eardrum threatened to take me out of the water forever. I tore a hole in my left eardrum. This unfortunate accident occurred when I jumped off the back of a dive vessel in an attempt to dive a deep shipwreck in the Atlantic Ocean. Shortly after descent from the surface, I experienced total vertigo as cold water entered my inner left ear. Approximately one month after this incident and my return to scuba, I was disappointed to discover my ear, although healed, would never be the same. It was then suggested by a friend and charter boat captain that I try Doc's Proplugs. I reluctantly took his advice, but was convinced they would never work. What I discovered was that Doc's Proplugs was the solution I was looking for. In fact today, I will no longer enter the water without them. Doc's Proplugs are the reason that I can continue to enjoy my favorite hobby of diving the deep wrecks of South Florida. And, I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for such simple solution for my injury.

Dear Dr. Scott,

I can't tell you how much Proplugs have changed diving for me. After many years of diving, I had seriously considered giving up the sport. Every single time I went on a diving trip I experienced an ear infection. Like clockwork, 3 days into my trip I was finding the nearest emergency clinic, getting radical antibiotics, treating a thrush infection in my mouth, and hoping I could salvage the rest of my trip. It happened every single time and even my dive buddy asked me if I really thought diving was worth the torture.
Then I was at the LA Scuba show and stopped by the Proplugs booth. I bought a pair and truthfully thought "Oh ya! Right! These will be gone with the first stride off the boat, but for 10 bucks I'll try anything once." Not only did the Proplugs stay put, but for the first time in 8 years, I got to spend 3 weeks on Maui diving and not being sick. I have done about 30 dives since then and not one ear infection, no sore throat, and still on the first pair of plugs. I panicked after the first trip and bought 4 more pair so that I would never be without them. I can't tell you how great they are!
I have absolutely no trouble equalizing and I have never had one come out! Everyone can't believe the difference and I hope you will know how much Proplugs have changed diving for me. I would recommend them for anyone and everyone that has an issue with water in their ears. Thanks so much, they're awesome!
Sincerely,
Karen Edwards

"Doc's Proplugs work really well, I have been wearing them for two weeks now, and they have not fallen out once. And my ear holes are dry after getting out of the water.
They have a small hole in each plug as wel,l so balance is not hindered to badly ( And it means you can chat to your mates in the water)." – Ant Ant
