Big Ear’s surfing earplugs are full shell earplugs, keeping the water out of your ears, with a preparatory sealed membrane that flexes in and out to absorb the water and air pressure that is created at any time your ear canal is plugged.

The science is when surfing or swimming for that matter, there is a small air bubble in your ear canal when you put in any kind of earplug, and it has 2 ways to go.

When you dive down either by diving or getting slammed down by a wave deep into the water, you will experience a squeeze pushing the earplug in and that air bubble toward your eardrum or middle Ear.

If you have Eustachian tube issues, then you know what I mean. If you can clear your ears when you down under, you added air into the canal chamber to expand and blow out your earplugs.

If you are that person and suffer from this situation, this is the best earplug for surfing.

Surfing earplugs are also great to wear in the surf as the membrane is extremely thin and does not block out a lot of noise and give you that plugged up feeling. It is a game-changer in the surfing earplug world.
