I don't really want to throw a wrench into the works here, but I'm going to. Your profile says you're not certified. Mask clearing and/or mask removal and replacement are required skills in (most, if not all) OW classes. Will you be able to do them while keeping water out of your ears? Even if you found an training agency that doesn't require this or some sort of work-around, what happens in open water? Will a flooded mask result in water getting into the ear covers and effectively into your ears? Just something to consider.
That's what a discussion board is for, and that's a valid point, so I've contacted the mask manufactuer to see if those hoses are one way as someone here suggested if they are, then that solves the problem partially but you are right I would be better off with those awesome navy diving suits from the 60's (pun intended!)
