Ear Protection for Swimming
Is ear protection for swimming important? The answer is a big YES. We may not notice it but water, even in small amounts, can enter the ear canal while doing water activities. The combination of moisture, water and humidity can eliminate the protective ear wax that lines the canal and increase the pH level inside, increasing vulnerability to infection.
Preventing Ear Infections
Otitis externa, more commonly known as “swimmer’s ear”, is highly associated with recreational and professional swimmers alike. There are a number of bacterial agents frequently isolated in those diagnosed. Moreover, this disease can easily become a chronic one if the ears are repeatedly infected.
Thankfully, this can well be prevented by wearing a simple set of custom swimming earplugs that properly fit and effectively keep the water out.
