Ear Infection Prevention

Rubbing Alcohol.

Try these

I've been diving with them for the last couple of years and never had a problem since.

Interesting. I'll need to bu about 10 pairs as I'll keep losing them but it will be worth it. Cheers

I use sterile saline spray to clean my ears out after diving. the high salt content in the seas are too much for my poor ears!

After a very bad ear infection I always use 4-5 drops of DRY EAR - Divers Solution. DRY EAR provides drying and cleansing of the external ear canal, ingredients: Glycerin, Boric Acid and FD&C Blue (don't know what that is). After I started using those drops I never had an infection.

I use some eardrops that my pharmacy mixed for me at request, they had the recipe: "diver's eardrops", Acidum aceticum 99% 10,0 ;Aqua purif 20,0 , Alc.isoprop ad 200,0.

Thanks for those. I have bought a bottle of'Swim Ear' online and will see if thats any use. Cheers

I just use drinking water after diving.
Pour some in your ears and wash away the salt or microscopic coral residue.

Try ear beer. It was secretly develped for cave diving in the Yucatan and has since spread to the mortal plane.
equal parts of Isopropyl alcohol, not rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and vinegar. It'll keep your ears happy, the only problem is that you'll smell like fish and chips.
