Speaking as a certified SCUBA divemaster - It's not safe to wear earplugs while deep sea diving! The increased pressure as you descend will compress any closed air spaces - including the air between your eardrum and the ear plug. That is VERY LIKELY to rupture your eardrum, unless the seal on the ear plugs breaks first.
I am really shocked that she is giving out this bad advice. I think you should try to contact her.
You are SO right! Thanks for pointing this out. I have updated the video to remove that! Thank you for pointing that out!
@@teachmedoc Good going 👏
Good job Doc, admitting your fault and correcting it. Now if we could all admit that most idots don’t even read instructions which is probably why they are in your office.
bro, she is talking about the swimmer not diver, did she ever mention dive with it? and anyone dive knows not to use ear plug
Moldable wax literally says NOT to take out pieces from the ball, but to use all the ball. They are the best, cheap and affordable, and does not get stuck.
You're right! In adults with larger ear canals this is likely the case. BUT in little kids, with smaller canals there is a much higher change of it being placed too far in the canal and coming apart. This requires us to papoose the child (hold them down) and remove it. It is traumatic for everyone. This has been my experience unfortunately and that of several other ENTs and one of the reasons why it is no longer recommended by the American Academy of Otolaryngology.
I use moldable ones because I have smaller ear canals. They just covers the outer part of the ear canals and should not be inserted into it. Dividing into smaller pieces like you did is the wrong way to use and it’s not in the correct direction in the first place. When you follow the instructions they are safe yet effective aren’t they? Why do you teach the wrong way and ban them? While I could afford to see a doctor and get my ear plugs custom fitted I don’t think it’s practical or affordable for many people who don’t have a good insurance in this country. Just seeing you cost hundreds of dollars.
Nah, the ones you squeeze and then they inflate in your ear are best. 50 pair for $10
Also it's suppose to stay in the outside of the ear. Not go in the ear canal.
I wonder if this can help ppl with high sensitivity e.g. introverts who find themselves working in unavoidably draining work environments (esp when social interaction is required)
Do you mean people with autism?
@@Uthando-h1q about 20% of people have a heightened awareness of the stimuli around them, good or bad, they also have high levels of empathy and can be creative. It’s been hypothesized that in hunter-gatherer times, sensitive community members may have actually helped the group survive generation after generation by being aware of important details like which were the safe berries to eat.
The trait of High Sensitivity is one that is deeply needed in our world. In a fast-paced, often non-empathetic world where aggressive, quick-decision-making is valued, HSPs can remind us that slowing down, compassionately considering other’s points of view and taking time to come to an intuitive and informed decision is also important.
@clairerobinson8166 And a lot of high masking "high functioning" autistic die undiagnosed, because of the overlap with an extremely broad list of disorders in the DSM-5 even people with Autism have been misdiagnosed as narcissistic.
@@Uthando-h1qI didn't know this, about some Autistic people being misdiagnosed as narcissists. * 0 *
I've read a comment in the past, by someone who claimed to be Autistic and that they can seem egotistical at times, but that's a trait part of their Autism. They do what they can to catch themselves in the moment to not sound prude.
So then, just because one trait can be similar in nature, doesn't mean they are a narcissist? Traits or similarities can overlap in terms of compatible comparisons. But not in terms of exact similarities to qualify one over the other?
Just because both disorders could exist, doesn't mean they're both there, unless one group of traits outweighs the other?
Sorry so long. I'm 37yrs old and found out 2-3yrs ago that I'm pretty sure I'm on the spectrum. Last I looked, a guy at a college open house event, sat up a table pertaining to the disabled, the abilities to pursue college. I asked him how to get tested and he said it would cost $200. I would, but the bills. :(
@maylin1986 Yeah it's expensive, the key difference is that Narcissists often do something with the aim to self serve. For example they can love bomb to manipulate someone, and they withdraw that affection in order to create dependency with their target, and on the contrary people with autism (some as it's a spectrum) struggle with demonstrating "appropriate" ways showing affection they might struggle with building intimacy and might jump in to quickly or love too intense too early but the crucial point is the purpose they do this because this is how some show affection they don't have an intention to manipulate. The behaviors might sometimes come across as Narcissistic but the main difference is always the INTENTION behind the behavior. And sometimes (especially with special interests) autistic can come across as arrogant or egotistical this is not the case they are just extremely passionate about their special inrrest and when someone who is a novice in the area expresses an opinion that is false the urge to correct that can be very strong from the autistic person and often some are good at masking that frustration but others don't do so well at holding those urges and often feel the need to correct or use the word ACTUALLY 😅 ....etc. obviously this does not apply to all people with autism but this is an often overlooked aspect and mental health practioners often faul prey to reaching conclusions based on the profession the patient is in for example I am in the legal profession and law is my special interest and stereotypes about lawyers being Narcissists are very unhelpful especially if you take into consideration that autistic people have a very "abnormally " strong sense of justice. Sorry for the long response. In person I talk way too much 🤣🤣😂 I hope my sharing can help with your lived experience 🙏.
i had to wear custom molded ear plugs to swim in 4 feet of water starting in the late 70s. i started scuba diving in the early 90s and could not equalize the pressure with the plugs in. so i started diving without them. no issues. and i go down to 200 feet deep at my max. you have to go down and come up SLOW while clearing the pressure often if your are like me
How long is "slow" when diving with ear problems? For example, restricted eustachian tubes?
@@saika216 that is a special situation. For me, I would do three steps.
1 Google
2 contact PADI or another dive certification organization
3 schedule an appointment with an otolaryngologist
The wax ones literally do not get stuck. You don't try to pull them out,you pop them out by pushing behind your ear.
They are fantastic.
Very calming voice you have
Never seen Alhambra stud earrings before. They go really nice with your scrubs 😊
I love her voice
what about sleeping buds for adults?
Can i use to prevent the big vehicle noises, loading products
Thank you for sharing - I had no idea about the first type!!
she's very wrong. Read the other comments.
This is where there are some strangely fortunate times having a severe brain injury prevents diving of the magnitude of which she speaks. Some of us need those ear plugs when we aren’t in the water for nasty headache prevention. Thanks for your concern though. Have a fantastic day!!
Madam , what are best earplugs to buy for study .
Dr. What do you think about loops? Thank you so much I. Advance
I tried Loop. They are great of your sitting up. I’m a side sleeper and they hurt my ears. But I do see a lot of people rave about them for sleeping.
I have Loops. They merely reduced noise. They didn't block noise.
Well yeah if you read the directions you’re supposed to COVER the ear canal, not shove a knot of wax inside like you’re trying to clog a drain. Jfc.
What’s this brand of ear plugs
Docs proplugs
@@ocvipe Thanks I couldn't hear it. Listened 3 times.
That’s why you use bigger pieces and so you can’t you don’t put it in your ear. You put it outside your ear.

Are for sleeping?
@@maibalah4170 Whats the name??
So what’s the name of the second one because I couldn’t hear what you said and it’s not pinned in the comments
Doc's Proplugs
Gorgeous 😍
What is a good ear plug to cancel out noise and feels comfortable
loop earplugs, around $25
Loop Quiet
The wax ones
Loops don't cancel out noise. You can still hear what's going on. Your best bet is silicon or wax earplugs that mold to the shape of your outer ear.
Dere can i buy the second one ?
Makes a video about ear plugs...makes it too quiet.
Will these stop me from hearing my girlfriends loud snores ?
Can I use the foam one
