It’s most important to keep your ears dry at all times. When showering or swimming, plug your ears using earplugs or a cotton ball with Vaseline on the outside. Don't scratch the inside of the ear because this may make the condition worse. Full treatment of swimmer’s ear should be given by your Audiologist or Otolaryngologist (ENT).
