Has anyone had a problem popping there ear drums when they fall? Does anyone ride with ear plugs? I have been riding for 2 years and i just popped my drum for the first time and i didn't know if anyone else has the problem?

I did last year. Now I'm just really paranoid about it. Everytime I'll fall in the water I'll try to get it all out of my ears. I'm also going to have custom earplugs made so that it's more comfortable and they'll stay in.

Absolutely, water takes days to get out of my ears, at least it feels that way. Surprised

I wear those waxy ear plugs that are for swimming. They don't go all the way into your ear canal so they are pretty easy to use. I take a lot of hard falls to my head and would much rather wear plugs than be out for half the season. Plus it cuts down on the swimmer's ear and infections.

i have a ear problems when wakeskating. my ears clog up with water really easily and if i dont get it all out ill get an ear infection or something. last year i blew my ear drum after a fall and it bled for 3 days straight. it was terrible.

Thanks guys i just never heard anyone talk about it. I have been using the wax earplugs and they seem to work pretty good. They havn't fallen out yet.
