I have perforated ear drums from my time in the military and it can be painful when water gets in my ears. Theses give me the ability to practice my rolls without any trouble or pain in my ears afterwards.

AVOID THIS-> "Surfer's ear (also known as swimmer's ear) is a condition where the bone of the ear canal develops multiple bony growths called exostoses. Over time, this can eventually cause a partial or complete blockage of the ear canal. The condition is primarily caused by prolonged exposure to cold water or wind." Use these and avoid surgery. the lanyard makes them easy to keep on you and any hearing reduction, while minor, can be removed quickly from either audio input on your head.

Excellent ear plugs. They worked well for keeping water out of my ears while rafting the Colorado River. Which made for a more enjoyable trip.

Love this style. Fits so much better than any other earplug I have used. I use them when I go to concerts.

This is the only ear plug I've found that works as advertised.

It helps me to keep my ear dry even after doing 50 laps they keep being comfortable.

I got these to use on an upcoming trip. I will be sharing a room and am a light sleeper. After trying these earplugs I am confident that I will sleep well. When they are in you don't notice them and they keep all but the loudest sounds out. Even very loud sounds are extremely muted.

I use these ear plugs for winter paddling in dynamic water where it's likely I'm going to be upside down. They fit great under the NRS Mystery Sea Hood with Bill -- there's no added pressure on my ears when the flaps are down. Even without the string, I doubt these would go anywhere, but for good measure I just loop it loosely around my nose plug cord. These ear plugs have enabled me to feel comfortable upside down in my boat year-round, and have made winter paddling more fun.

I use these for general whitewater kayaking, surfing, roll/flatwater practice. The water here is generally cold enough to mess with my equilibrium if I don't wear earplugs. The string is nice because you can let one plug dangle for most flatwater/easier sections to be able to hear other paddlers/the river/etc., then quickly eddy out to put it in before sections with more splash. Make sure if you do use the string that you actually knot it on the plug end rather than just sticking it in the end, because you'll quickly lose your plugs.

No wonder NRS carries these as there almost exclusive if not their exclusive. Price is very right and function is exactly what you want. Rolling practice with these prevents nausea.

Sooo comfortable, easy to put in and take out (be sure to grab the stem to remove the plug) These make rolling and cold water a joy.

Mack's ear plugs are the only plugs I have ever found that do not break a seal when I turn my head under water. Pre wetting them before putting them in your ears with water or spit allows them to make a real tight water seal. I have bought every ear plug on the market before finally finding Mack's. I usually pull out the string/leash that they come with because they stick so well in your ear that there's no way you lose one in fast paced waterspots. Thanks Mack's and NRS for this great product!

These are a super value for the money. Soft rubber makes them easy to use and comfortable. Thjey stay in well and protect the ears from the cold Colorado water.

These plugs are comfortable and easy to use. My wife and I lost our first pairs after using them for one day. [...] replaced the lost pairs. I glued the new plugs to their lanyards and now they rock!!!

I was getting sick to my stomach learning how to roll and someone advised me to get some ear plugs. I bought these and they have worked great. Keeps the water out of your ears but you can still hear people who are talking loudly.

I bought these so my son with Autism could have easy access to some noise reduction techniques when he feels uncomfortable. They are a lifesaver. He especially uses them for his own "comfort level" whenever his little nephews are around, he requests "headphones" and it's enough to keep him comforted around "kid" noises!
