Do vented ear plugs work? The topic comes up often.+

Why wouldn't you use them with a hood?

Hi HowardE,

No reason they cannot be used with a hood.

I wasn't asking a general question. I wear them with or without a hood all the time (pretty much every dive without my helmet). I was wondering why this user wrote:

they will now be used every time I'm not using a hood.

I wrote that because when I wear a hood I don't have the inrush of water when I turn my head so its not such a big issue. When I'm not wearing a hood and I turn my head for the first time underwater and I get an ear full of cold water everything starts spinning; with a tight hood, or the plugs I don't have such an issue.
