World's ONLY practical ear protector for Divers! T he Pro Ear mask is not just another mask but is indeed an entirely new concept in diving safety and comfort. Thesilicone ear cups, equalization tubes and strap configuration take some time to get used to but after one or two dives the Pro Ear becomes as natural and comfortable then the standard mask. Pro Ear Summery D iving related ear problems are universal, irrespective whether the diver is a beginner or a professional. To counter the pressure induced discomfort, the Pro Ear mask to offset the ill effect and to increase the enjoyment of time underwater. P ro Ear mask will take a little time to get used to, with its silicone ear cups, equalization tubes and strap configuration.It is highly recommend that a Pro Ear mask beginner should try this mask in a pool or controlled environment before taking it on a dive odyssey. T he ear cups cover the ears forming a water tight seal. Air is allowed into the ear cups when exhaling through the nose into the mask and then through the thin tubing (which mimic the Eustachian tubes) which runs from the mask skirt into the ear cups while passing through the non return valves in the tubes. This allows the air space in the ear cups to equalize according to ambient pressure. The mask, ear cups and indeed the entire respiratory system become a closed circuit equalized air pressure system.   Key Features Additional Info Helps with ear problems while properly equipped under water Increase warmth and comfort Easier pressure equalization Prevents painful pressure induced ear problems Provides better underwater hearing and sense of direction Tempered Glass Lenses High Grade Silicon Prevents water to enter your ear canals.

Caused by blockage in the Eustachian tube. Pressures cannot be equalized and the eardrum is forced inward causing considerable pain, bleeding into middle ear and sometimes rupture of the eardrum. Preliminary results from multiple dives indicate easier pressure equalization. Possibly explained by lack of stimulation of tympanic membrane and the resultant middle-ear secretions. Infection or inflammation of the outer ear canal Otitis external - Exposure to water dilutes the ear's protective lining and exposes it to infection. Polluted water entering the ear canal carries bacteria and irritant chemicals. Absolute protection from water and pollutant entry will provide effective prevention. Middle ear inflammation Otitis media - Inflammation due to poor drainage and collection of fluids in the middle ear and Eustachian tube. Lack of tympanic membrane stimulation may obviate problems with drainage of middle-ear secretions. Inability to discern the direction of sound Diminished function of the calibration of the ear, which is built to function in an air environment. No mechanism as yet to explain this surprising but consistent observation. Extremely important for divers ascending into busy sea lanes, potentially avoiding accidents. Dizziness (vertigo) and loss of direction Due to caloric stimulation or to damage to the inner ear which affects balance. Avoidance of cold water stimulation of the tympanic membrane, which produces the vertigo. Build up of bony deposits in the outer ea Minimize
