How should I care for my ears when I go swimming?

Usually, you don’t have to do anything before swimming, but make sure you dry the inside of your ears well. If water stays in your ears for a long time, the skin in your ear canal will get soggy, and they can get infected more easily. If you go swimming a lot, it’s a good idea to get swim plugs made for your ears to try and keep the water out of them. Find out more.

Is chlorine bad for my ears?

Very high chlorine levels will slowly break down the waxy protective layer in the ear. If you swim regularly in a swimming pool that uses chlorine, it’s best to have swim plugs to keep the water out of your ears.

What is swimmer's ear?

Swimmer’s ear is an infection of the outer ear canal that may run from the eardrum to the outside of the head. It's often caused by water left in the ear after swimming or showering. This warm, moist environment of the ear canal helps bacteria or fungi grow. If your ear is red (inflamed) on the outside, swollen, discharging and painful when you touch it, it might be an outer ear infection. Your GP should be able to help you with treatment and will advise to keep the ear dry.

What is surfer's ear?

Surfer's ear is the common name for an abnormal bone growth within the ear canal. It is prominent under surfers, divers and people who work in conditions with cold air. Surfer's ear is not the same as swimmer's ear, although infection can result as a side effect.

Surfer's ear will usually not exhibit any symptoms but can cause hearing loss, recurrent infections, discharge, a sensation of fullness in your ear, and recurrent wax impactions. Treatment involves medical management but may include surgery if symptoms become severe.

Why do I have difficulty equalising ear pressures when diving or on a plane?

The Eustachian tube joins the back of our nose with the middle part of our ear and is responsible for matching or equalising the pressure between our environment and ears. When we fly or dive, the air pressure changes quickly and if the eustachian tube can’t react fast enough, the ears can block or hurt. Yawning or swallowing usually opens the Eustachian tube and allows air to enter the middle ear, equalising the pressure. The Eustachian tube can be affected by hearing loss, such as a cold or wax plug, or it can simply stop working as well. At Resonate we use a machine called a tympanometer to measure how well your middle ear works.
