Summer time means bath time! However, this often poses a risk to the ear, as many people regularly suffer from ear infections after swimming, bathing or diving. For this reason, the symptoms are also called "bathing otitis" or "swimmer's ear". But there are also other causes that can lead to ear canal inflammation. These include wrong ones
Cleaning measures with cotton swabs, matches or similar instruments; Frequent and prolonged wearing of "Walkman headphones" or headsets; Ear wax that clogs the ear canal; Foreign objects that have entered the ear. The too frequent use of washing-active substances, such as those contained in shampoos, shower gels or soaps, also destroy the natural protective film of the ear. The skin in the ear canal becomes more sensitive to any mechanical, thermal, or chemical irritation. Inflammation of the ear canal is the result. In the early stages, the ear canal is very itchy; swelling occurs, which is accompanied by varying degrees of pain.
