Anyone ever use a Pro-Ear mask?

If you have serious problems equalizing then perhaps you should work on your technique, and how often you do it.
Go here and watch this--it should help.

Personally a Pro-Ear mask just seems like another example of the scuba industry coming up with products to make up for people's lack of good technique.

you're probably right, but if it works, it works.

For me equilization in no problem at all. But after I dive I can't seem to get the water out of my ears and the alcohol solution doesn't always work. My last weeklong divetrip I ended up with a severe outer ear infection and a swollen shut ear canal then when that one was healed the other one swelled shut for a day or two. I'm gonna get the okay from my doc before I dive again and make sure it won't happen again. So bolantej, make sure you tell us how you like it!

Sometimes alcohol doesn't cut it--that's why I use a 1/3 alcohol, 1/3 hydrogen peroxide, and 1/3 white vinegar solution.

Oh man, that mask was sooooo good to me this weekend. As long as you get a decent seal aroundthem, the ear cups are always water free. Even with a little water in them, equalizing was still very easy, compared to without. I definitely recommend them.
