Surfer's Ear
Surfers fancy themselves as pretty cool individuals, frequently to be seen with tousled blonde hair and wetsuits strategically unzipped to the waist. Fortunately, nature has a sense of humour, so many of them will have Surfer’s Ear. It is caused when the ear becomes partially blocked with bony tissue, and it’s most commonly caused by exposure to cold water. The lining of the ear can be irritated by the cold water, causing over production of the bony substance under the lining of the ear canal. Loss of hearing is the key symptom, as is pain caused by the build up of earwax. This affects the drainage of the ear, allowing infections to develop. Ear plugs are the best way to prevent it forming, but if it’s already too late then a procedure called an exostectomy is performed to remove the boney debris, whilst antibiotics are utilised to clear any remaining infection.

my right ear has been consistently sore since i came back of holiday from spain. I did lots of swimming in our private pool so this could be the reason. But when I lie down the problem becomes servere and flares up at night. I have been given a spray called Otomize will this clear up the problem or should i purchase another medicine?

hi guys
i find dat wen i've been swimmin, it feels like theres still water in my ears.
however, theres something called 'swim ear' which gets rid of it nd stops me gettin ear infections, which i got nearly every time i went on hols. also, wen i was younger, i had 'gromits' put in which helped so much. hope this helps u guys
over the past couple of months or so i have started noticing these white little lumps forming under the tissue of my right ear of the anti helix. ive been to a local doctor but all they have said to me is that it could just be down to cold. can you shed any light on this matter? what should i do?
