Can you buy them anywhere? Is there ones specific for watersports? Do you have to worry about them getting stuck in your ear? I never had a problem before then last night, first time out this year, I got water in my ear. I do not want to have that happen again. Thanks

Buy a Protec ace wake helmet with the ear flaps. Thats what we ride and dont get water in the ears.

check out www.proplugs.com. They have a set that are vented so you can still hear. I use them and they work great.

Thanks for the info, I'll get some of the plugs. I have a protec helmet but don't think it has flaps, I'll have to look at it again and see if it has any flipdown flaps. I never had a problem before last night

Tanya...I have to wear ear plugs because I have tubes in my ears and the water goes into my middle ear if I don't wear them. I have tried all different kinds and the kind I like best are the white, moldable kind you can buy at Wal-Mart or Target or drug store. They are very inexpenseve and work great. I haven't tried the vented ones because I can't but I don't have any problem hearing with mine. My coach just has to speak up a little with me. Ear plugs will also keep your eardrums from perforating from the pressure of the water slapping against your ear. Try different ones. You will find one you like.
