WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SURFER’S EAR?

The first and most common signs of Surfer’s Ear include water plugged ears, muffled hearing and discomfort. Irritation from repeated cold wind and water exposure cause the bone surrounding the ear canal to develop lumps of bony growth which can constrict the ear canal. You might develop infections, causing pain and hearing loss.

Most people do not know they have surfer’s ear until it is fairly advanced and many ear doctors are not familiar with Surfer’s Ear issues and often misdiagnose early cases.

If you surf long enough without protection, you WILL get surfer’s ear.
