Ear Infection FROM Diving?

[Tomeck]

Yes, but you mentioned not using alcohol in the prevention of ear infections.

I'm not trying to argue with you but you should know that your claim is contradictory to the source you listed.

I am not a specialist, it is the doctor who recommended to me.

Good question. It's the prevention against the congestion. With acetic acid, microbes cannot resist, glycerin is viscous and it can stay long time in the external ear. Tomec"


Hi Tomec,

But if the congestion is in the middle ear space, drying and acidifying drops placed in the external ear cannot cross the ear drum and enter that area. Thus, how could they be of help?

Drops placed in the external ear cannot cross the ear drum, but microbes can cross, the infection often starts in the external ear, then it is useful to prevent the microbes from crossing in the middle ear.
