Swimmer's Ear Swimmer's Ear (External Otitis) is an inflammation of the skin lining the outer ear canal. It occurs most often after swimming or bathing when water becomes trapped in the ear, providing an excellent environment for bacteria growth. Within hours, symptoms of itching, pain and discharge may occur. The skin thickens making the ear canal narrower.The human ear needs wax (cerumen) to protect against Swimmer's Ear. Ear wax is nature's way of protecting the skin by waterproofing and providing an acid pH mantle to inhibit growth of microorganisms. To
prevent Swimmer's Ear you may want to use ear plugs such as SupEARior
EARplugs which are 100% medical grade silicone or Doc's Proplugs.
For added protection when swimming or
bathing, or during winter sports, use AQUA-EARBANDŽ, a neoprene headband
recommended by doctors, coaches and pharmacists. Aqua-Earband is
available in 4 sizes. When used with earplugs, it provides the
ultimate in ear protection.
