Surfer's Ear - Prevention

Prevention

The widespread use of wetsuits has allowed people to surf in much colder waters, which has increased the incidence and severity of surfer's ear for those that don't properly protect their ears.

  • Avoid activity during extremely cold or windy conditions.
  • Keep the ear canal as warm and dry as possible.
    • Ear plugs
    • Neoprene hood
    • swim cap
