Hi Billie

I've just had a look at the website for these and they seem a great idea. My problems with equalisation are that my tubes tend to squeeze up after a few dives, so they squeak and then won't let air through at all. Was your husband's problem at all similar?

Excuse the ignorance, but what are "pull-downs"?

Cheers, Bryan

I am off to the store to see if they have the Netti available. I was reading about the Netti you use and was wondering if you have a preference as to which salt you prefer to use. The website below gives a few different choices. Thanks for the tips.

Neti Pot salt - salts for neti

I’ve been suffering with a sticky left ear for what seems like an age, so I’ve just ordered one of those Neti Pots to see if it’ll help.
Got it coming from The Heath and Yoga store.
Thanks for the link James
