Ear Band to Prevent Hearing LossSwimming is a wonderful sport. It is also a great form of exercise. Unfortunately, if you swim regularly, you are prone to swimmer’s ear. It is an ear infection that affects that outer ear canal. That’s why doctors recommend the use of an ear band and earplugs when swimming. Ear Band to Keep Water Out of Your EarsWhen you swim, it is normal for water to get inside your ear. But, when you get out of the pool, the water is supposed to leave your ear. However, in some cases, the water remains in your ear canal causing hearing loss temporarily. If the water in the canal is not removed, it can lead to infection causing inflammation, leaky discharge, and itchiness. If you are prone to water remaining in your ear canal or you are at high risk of developing an ear infection, then make sure to use a band and plugs when you go swimming. Stop the Extra MoistureAn ear infection occurs when there is extra moisture in your ear. In this case, it is the result of the pool water entering your ear and does not leave after swimming. The moisture creates an environment for the harmful organisms to grow. If you are a swimmer but prone to ear infection, your physician may recommend that you use a band and earplugs. These two pieces of equipment can keep your ears dry. You may wonder whether or not water will still get inside your ear when you go swimming but with the band and plugs in your ears. Water cannot get into the ear canal. It will remain in the outer ear. In that case, it will be easier for you to get it out when you are done swimming. Ear plugs are not enough to protect your ears. That’s why you need to place a band on top of the plugs to prevent the plugs from coming off your ears when swimming. It is also ideal that after swimming, you may use a hand dryer. That way, you are drying your ears thoroughly, thus preventing extra moisture from staying inside your ear. Here at Sprint Aquatics, we sell Mack’s ear band.
