Description

Doc's Proplugs is the only earplug that protects the ears from surfer's ear by keeping a warm pocket of air in the canal and keeping cold water out without impeding hearing and balance. Anyone with severe narrowing of the ear canal can avoid frequent water blockage by wearing Proplugs, the earplug for sports professionals. Severe exostosis can be prevented from progressing by wearing proplugs and reinforcing consistent warmth by wearing hoods, hats and hair-bands especially when sleeping at night.

Developed and designed by a surfing physician since 1977

  • Doctors recommend Proplugs
  • Prevents surfers ear, swimmers ear, and eardrum rupture
  • Helps ears equalize under water
  • Low price, high quality hypo-allergenic earplug
  • 8 preformed sizes for lifetime protection
  • No messy, sticky putty lost in ear canal
  • The ONLY earplug which does not disrupt earwax or obstruct the canal

Sizing:

Please download the sizing chart and cut out the Pro Plugs template and test in your ear to determine the correct size

Questions

QI've downloaded and printed the Pro plugs size chart. I seem to be between sizes, the medium size look just a tad better fit than the large. Would you advise going larger or smaller? Thanks, Tom
Ahi, we would recommend using the the size up if you are between sizes, that way there wont be a gap but it might be a squeeze.
QHi! Do you have a size chart for these?
AWe do have a size chart which you can download and print out, here is a link: http://store.magicseaweed.com/image/proPlug.pdf

Awesome plugs, these are highly recommended! Do make sure to try the PDF sheet provided by MSW.

Great product, exactly what I needed for the cold western seaboard of Ireland!
* * * * * 15th August 2012
Simply the best plugs
* * * * * 6th March 2012
Good fit, stay in even with a big set on the head and I can hear ok.
* * * * 17th January 2012
Decent plugs. Size chart is really useful to get the right ones on order (if in dout, go big). Take a while to get them fitted right, but once they're in they'in, no matter how much of a beating you take!

Good plugs - make sure you get right size , if in doubt go larger as the idea of these is to provide a complete seal around the whole ear not just the bit that pushes into your ear canal
* * * * * 26th November 2011
Used handful of times,so far so good, quality product.
* * * * * 26th November 2011
Good protection, they come out sometimes but always have the cord under my wetsuit so haven't lost them yet.
* * * * * 25th November 2011
Good product

Just to say the in the website you have the picture of the Doc's Proplugs in transparent, but I receive them red :-/ You don't have a choose color window. Anyway, the plugs are the best in the market and work ok.

So far so good, even stayed put in a french shorey

I have loads of trouble with my ears after surfing. Have gone semi-deaf for weeks. These seem to sort me out fine. Leash is a top idea. Tie it on to your hood or wetsuit zip.

good product
* * * * 17th January 2011
Fears of Surfers Ear will be thing of the past. Fit well and easy to get used to even with a hood on!
* * * 16th January 2011
a perfect fit but do let in some water
* * * * * 12th January 2011
brilliant product
* * * * 18th July 2010
In one ear they fit nicely and pass the 'humming test' (where you put it in and hum and see if the sound bounces straight back into our head) but in the other they don't. I've used these for swimming so far and I don't get any trapped water which is cool! Shall check them out in September and see how they far out in the open water.

Fit well, don't fall out and very comfortable.
* * * * * 4th June 2010
if you haven,t already both a pair of these ear plugs do so now. They are a top piece of kit. sizing chart is easy to use. I ,ve worn my plugs for the firat time this week and through tumbles, falls , pearls and slips they stayed in place the whole time. excellant value for money

Earplugs that fit realy well
* * * * 12th March 2010
Good fit but not been able to use them yet as the surgen who operated on my surfers ear said I'm not allowed in the water for 2 months! Guess I should have got ear plugs years ago!
* * * * 9th February 2010
seem to be pretty good so far
* * * * 6th January 2010
the sizing to fit the ear is difficult without actually having them to hand.
* * * 5th January 2010
Not used yet
* * * 8th December 2009
Haven't got to use them in the sea yet, but good fit
* * * * 26th November 2009

* * * * 25th November 2009
good so far but need more waves for further testing!
* * * * * 25th November 2009
awesome, had op on right ear trying to look after both ears now and these are brilliant. And i can hear!!

Not yet tested in water

put on rashvest,wetsuit,hood,boots,gloves,wax board,check leash,hide keys,forget plugs!
* * * * * 24th November 2009
If you surf daily, wear these plugs. The right size won't come out but the string between the plugs wraps easily around the neck velcro on my suit anyway.
* * * * * 7th October 2009
Really great plugs, good fit (followed sizing guide and errred on the larger size). Very pleased going to buy a spare pair.
* * * * 29th September 2009
Does the job very well. Precise fitting guide.
* * * * * 29th September 2009
I can not understand why people have given negative comments about these plugs - they work prety well for me!
* * * * 26th August 2009
Seem to work in the cold North Sea, less dizziness after cold water swimming
* * * * 24th August 2009
Probably should get a sizing kit first so I can get for anyone in the family....or friends!!

I was recently diagnosed with surfer's ear and advised to wear ear plugs. I tried Hearos and other putty type earplugs, but the Doc's proplugs are without doubt the best I have found!
* * * 22nd July 2009
top draw ear protection, cant fault them at all.
* * * * 16th July 2009
seem to work pretty well, and I'm even getting kind of used to the popping noises in my ear (presumably from air trapped in the ear canal)
* * * 16th June 2009
these will fall out and get lost pretty quickly ....they do float ,so you should be able to find them (aye,maybe in the bath)
* * 20th May 2009
This is the second pairsize I,ve tried. Propably got odd ears because they don't seal well enough against cold water entry. Will work against pressure burst.
* * * * 28th April 2009
fit well thanks to the printable fitting guide.
* * * * * 20th April 2009
Out of a duty to easing pressure on the NHS all surfers should get these!
* * * * 26th March 2009
does not affect your hearing
* * * * 11th January 2009
Useful to wear under a gimp hood as they stop cold water from getting trapped inside your ear.
* * * * * 9th January 2009
At last some ear plugs that stop my surfers ear getting any worse BUT I can hear things...WOW!!
* * * * 25th November 2008
Easy to wear, impair hearing a little but not as much as other plugs. Stops my ears getting blocked and haven't had any ear problems since. The plugs do take a little getting used to, and the valve does get blocked sometimes but a quick flick or tap unblocks them.
* * * * * 1st October 2008
Really good product- My right ear has closed up quite a lot due to surfer's ear, and these plugs are great for keeping water out but your hearing, and therefore balance, is still good. Took 3 surfs before i was fully used to them, now I can surf 3 hours without noticing them. Increadible how they stay in- you can take a real punking by a big set and they stay put!
* * * * * 1st October 2008
These plugs are sooo good I can hardly even hear the wife with them in.....
* * * * * 21st May 2008
ears are nice and cosy, no water & can still hear
* * * * 19th May 2008
good and comfy but the sound can be quite erratic and pretty disorientating to start with. Great for under a hood in the winter where other plugs are just plain uncomfortable.
* * * * * 14th April 2008
After reading a fair bit of horror on the old surfers ear, decided to give it a miss and go the earplugs route. These are pretty much as good as you can get before getting custom moulds done. They fit in well, instructions were good and other than a full on bail they keep the water out - job done. £12 might seem like a lot for a shaped piece of plastic but I'd take that over having my ear drilled out any day.
