    i have been diving for 15 years and from the very start i have had problems with equalizing my ears. i would have bloody masks and would spit out blood after every damn dive. i even had to stop diving for 5 years when i perforated my ear drum.
    i have taken everything from sudafed to other deconegestants to nasal spray, all producing subpar results- equalization problems would still be there but not as bad as before.
    i even bought the proears dive mask which would work sometimes when water doesnt make it into the 'earmuffs'. it proved to be semi effective for me.
    all these problems were solved however with my use of the proplugs. it allows me to equalize just by swallowing which was impossible before. and though i still get the ear squeeze it is so much more manageable and infrequent as compared to my past experiences.
    my joy of diving made me continue this sport, despite the constant ear problems i had. now proplugs allow me to fully enjoy my love for diving without the hassles ( ear problems) for the first time since my first dive!!!
