He retired from general practice in 1985 and continues to conduct research on ear problems that affect people in water sports. His research led him to demonstrate the effects that water and exposure to cold have on the ear. His findings led to the invention of Doc's Proplugs. His studies have taken him all over the world. He was one of the first to propose that chilly conditions is the irritant causing exostosis, the bony growth found in water sports athletes. Exostosis is especially common in surfers and divers.
