About swimmer’s ear

Swimmer’s ear (otitis externa) is an infection or inflammation of the outer ear canal, frequently after water has been trapped in the ear.

Causes and risk factors

Water left in the ear after swimming or showering softens the skin of the canal and lets bacteria or fungi grow. Pools, the sea and cotton buds all raise the risk.

Typical symptoms

Worth knowing: Anyone can get swimmer’s ear. Frequent ear cleaning, earbuds and humid conditions raise the risk even if you do not swim.
