I grew up with earaches and remember that it wasnt summer until I had a good one or two. I started using a mix of 50% Boric Acid solution and 50% distilled white vinegar and have been pain free for about 10 years by using it after (and before/after in dirty water). I just ran out of my brew and now cannot find boric acid in solution. I found some powdered but I would rather have what has worked.
Anyone know where I can get my hands on a bottle of Boric Acid?
Does anyone have a home brew that has been working for them or one that was reccomended by and Ear/nose/throat Doctor? (the 50/50 mix was recommended by an ENT Doc.) I went to see him after using too much "swimmers ear" I think it was aero dry which is the same thing. If you are using an alcohol based ear solution (earbeer) please be careful - your ear has a protective coating of wax that protects the membrane. Using too much can remove the wax and irritate your ear making life miserable. :help:
As I understand it you just need to change the PH in your ear to where the bacteria is killed off - straight vinegar will work just fine but smells nasty... cutting it with the boric acid did the trick and didnt smell so bad.
Thanks and dive safe!!
