I have a gentleman e-mailing me about his wife. She has major problems eqalizing and wants a mask that also surrounds ears for easier equalizing. I have suggested full face masks but thing they prefer a smaller set up. I have seen this mask somewhere but I cannot seem to find it now. If anyone has information please e-mail me at h2oscuba@aol.com or h2oconnection@aol.com. Thanks alot JoeyD

But heard very good things about it from people that do use it.
Good luck.

One of the board members has the Pro Ear 2000. She could answer some questions if you PM her. I know she like it. She has answered questions about it on the boards in the past. Do a search on this site for the Pro Ears 2000.

Simply put, they work. I don't use them because of anything wrong with my ears, but every now and then got water stuck in my ears, and wanted to avoid that. The great side effect is that equalization is much easier with them. I've heard it said that this is because you're equalizing against air pressure, rather than water pressure, so there's less mass to push against. The main downside is that they can be a bit noisy underwater, with the valves between the mask air space and the ear air space wheezing (but there are techniques to eliminate that).

but she didn't like it. The problem with it was that it only comes in one mask size, and if that shape/size doesn't fit you, your SOL. Also, it takes some getting used to removing all your hair from around your ears, which can also be a problem if you take your mask off for some reason, esp if you're wearing a hood. We actually returned hers.

With all due respect to the inventor of the ProEar2000, the only information about his product is anecdotal and mostly supplied by HIM.
There doesn't seem to be any material from independent medical professionals at all. If there is, I would be interested in seeing it.
I only bring this up because on some boards this gentleman will offer advice about this product as a panacea for all ear-related diving problems. However, when he does this, no mention is made of the fact that he is the inventor/vendor of this product. Seems a little biased & self serving to me.
Just wanted to tell BOTH sides of the story.

To be fair to HMan, in many of his posts, he does mention that he is the inventor of the proear mask, and a good proportion of opinions are by people other than HMan, such as posters on this thread.
And what's wrong with anecdotal evidence? Most of the opinion on this board is anecdotal in nature.

The good thing about this message board is what you get when you combine the information given in the post by Submariner and simonk999. I feel that it gives newer members a more balanced idea of things.

My question is what happens if the mask comes off while you are at 100ft? Does it result in any change of pressure?
