Did you know that there are two ear conditions associated with swimming? Swimmer’s ear (more commonly known as an earache) is an inflammation and infection of the external ear, caused by bacteria thriving in a moist ear canal. Surfer’s ear is the common name for an abnormal bone growth in the ear canal, and it is caused by cold water and wind exposure.
