My dive buddy has problems with his ears and would like to get some info on the freediving earplugs.

Has anyone used these?

Where can he get some and what is the price?

How does that valve work to prevent reversed ear? (are they safe?)

Thanks

I used to use them when I had a spate of ear infections, and they definately helped. They have a small hole in them which allows them to equalise. Sizing is quite important, you really need to be able to try them on
Another lower tech option is favoured by probably the UKs best ever competitive spearo; he puts a big dollop of vaseline in each ear before diving. This also keeps the water out whilst allowing pressure to equalise. I have never tried this method, but it seems to work for Pete (he is deaf as a post though....... :) )
cheers
