How do you deal with water in your ears? Do you use a hoodie? plugs? etc? Does it matter to you?

I used to live in Santa Cruz so I'll assume that DPP Stands for Docks pro plugs. this is a little weird because I had a dream with Brenda (hotline,DPP) in it last night. I dive in contaminated waters on a regular basis ... I only wore them a few times before I left SC and never diving. I'll test them out for sure on my next dive and let you know if I can endorse them for Police divers.
I have a pair of Doc's pro plugs, they work okay when you go down to one depth then back up but, with any type of seasaw profile I had problems. They sit in my dive bag but, haven't used them for awhile I opt for the ear beer solution ...no ear problems since going to this and initially I had a ton of them....
I use docs pro plugs sometimes. My girlfrend says they work, i am not convinced yet though. it does keep the cold water out of your ears though, which she says helps with vertigo that she feels sometimes.
Doesn't matter to me.
Hoods don't stop water (unless you're talking dry hoods)... in fact, if they did, it could cause problems.
External exostosis is experienced at some level by ALL water enthusiasts. (Bold statement, I know). Just keep your ears dry...
