Would a removed mask or seal failure at depth cause ear injury in these things? Or does it just assist equalization?
Anyone come across this

I've been using this mask for about six years now, certainly helped prevent the frequent ear infections that ruined several dive trips for me in the past.
Equalising is easy and the pressure in the mask is the same as in the ear covers, which do leak slightly depending on your hair around the ears.

I might have to consider the docs plugs. My face seems hard to fit so I doubt the mask would fit.
The plugs might make it so I don't have to use the ear drops every time to prevent swimmers ear.

Do you find that equalizing with this mask is any easier or harder vs a standard mask? I guess if you haven't used a standard mask in 6 years it might be hard to say, but that is the part I'm trying to make heads or tails of.
how does that work if you have hair?
I think it's easier.
My back up mask on tech dives is a normal low profile mask and I've done changes with both at depth and no issues, albeit I'm not really equalising on a descent.
I get a little bit of water in my ears sometimes, however the hair around my ears is short, but not Kim Jong Un short.
