Hello fellow divers,
I need some advise please. Nearly every time I go diving I have ear problems that turn into infection within a couple of days. I have been told by the doctor that I have narrow ear canals and that water stays in my ears after diving and causes infection.
I really want to keep diving but the infections are quite debilitating and last for a week or so every time and only go with the use of antibiotics.
I am wondering if I should use swimmers ear before I dive and straight after in the hope it will dry up the moisture. Does anyone know if this works or does anyone know another way I can sort out my ear problem?
I hope someone can give me some good advise on this problem as I do not want to give up this awesome activity but fear I will have to if this problem continues.
Cheers
