DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:Mask

For many divers, from beginners to the most experienced professionals, ear problems affect their ability to enjoy their sport more than any other health issue. More dives are aborted and more diving holidays shortened due to ear problems than any other cause.

Water and pressure affect every diver's ears. Infection and discomfort to the ear are the most common health risks involved in diving, often causing permanentdamage. Many divers find they must interrupt expensive, long awaited diving holidays as a result of ear problems. The financial loss and unfulfilled expectations are enormous.

PROEAR 2000 is the world's only practical ear protector for divers, designed anddeveloped by diving physicians, engineers and instructors at SAFE DIVE LTD in order to enhance diver safety and comfort. PROEAR 2000tm unique design and performance, allows divers to keep their ears dry, thereby: Improving diver comfort and preventing painful ear problems, improving hearing and sense of direction underwater and simplifying equalization of pressures while diving.

The Mask Skirt is made from the best grade of crystal clear, hypoallergenic silicone; the skirt is soft and automatically conforms to a wide range of facialprofiles. The Strap is mounted on swivel buckles; the silicone strap with its large contact surface secures the mask to the wearer. The soft silicone Ear Covers forms a water tight seal between the ear drum and the cover. The pressurebuffer created has the same pressure as your nasal cavity mask when air exhaled through the nose is introduced through the Equalization Tubes. Therefore the pressure experienced in your middle ear and outer ear is the same and the "squeeze" from the ambient environment will be significantly reduced. Other benefits by keeping the ears sealed include reduced chance of an ear infection from water, improved sense of direction and warmth retention.

Dual Window design with large nose pocket for ease of equalization and low profile design, allows a wide field of vision. The Equalization Tubes with a one-way valve placed inside each tube, air is allowed to travel from the mask tothe ear covers for pressure equalization and water clearance while stopping water from flooding the mask in the unlikely event of flooded Ear Covers.

    BEST MASK FOR EQUALIZING PROBLEMS PERIOD

    I have always had problem equalizing, with this mask I have absolutely zero problems equalizing! I have been to an ENT, had a CT scan, everything, this mask is the ONLY reason I can dive. Forget the vented ear plugs, this mask works hands down!!! The fit is great, once you get used to having the ears "cupped" it takes ZERO effort to equalize. I will buy another as a back-up in the future, this is the best piece of gear I own hands down, THANK YOU PRO EAR!!! This is a must buy!!!!

    Comments about IST Pro Ear 2000 Two Window Mask:

    I always have pain and equilizing issues, and I know that nothing will solve that completely. This mask, however, reduced the amount of trouble to such a degree I feel it must be closer to the norm. I did, in six dives, have two occassions where there was a drip from the upper left tube connecting the front of the mask to the ear covers, but, clearing the mask helped and I think it was just due to dolphin-roll type antics.

    I would absolutely recommend this mask to people who have trouble with equilization.

      Comments about IST Pro Ear 2000 Two Window Mask:

      I got this mask because of all of the reviews that say it will make clearing easier. I popped an ear drum on a shallow dive last year, and I wanted to do everything possible to keep from doing that again. Plus I always had at least one ear that would remain plugged with water. I just dove at the Denver Downtown Aquarium. I loved the fact my ears were completely dry. It did seem to me it was easier to clear. Can't wait to use it on three two tank dives in the Caribbean in January.

      Not bad, Good ear protection

          Comments about IST Pro Ear 2000 Two Window Mask:

          I have been diving with a perforated ear drum for a couple of years now, and have experienced significant pain in my ear after diving. Since I have been using this (and an ear plug also) product, I have been able to keep the ear dry and pain free. I also feel warmer in the water without a hood, because it keeps your ears dry.
          Equalizing on my good ear was not affected, and I continued to do so normally.

          The fit was okay, but the bridge of my nose rubs right against the hard plastic, so perhaps a larger size would help. Other than that a great product (for those of us with short hair).

          Comments about IST Pro Ear 2000 Two Window Mask:

          Went to St. Thomas for 2 weeks and used the Proear exclusively. Dove about 8 of the 14 days, and was extremely pleased with the mask performance. Have perforated my eardrum (diving) on 3 separate occasions, and needed something to help protect them. Using this mask I was able to make all the dives (deepest was 60') without problems. The tubes for the earcups pop out easily when donning the mask, but my dive buddy was able to put them in easily before descending. Would highly recommend this mask for those with ear problems.
