Make Waves, Not Earaches
Don't Let Ear Pain Ruin Your Summer Fun
Summer is made for cannonballs, pool parties, lake days, and family vacations. 🌊☀️
Unfortunately, all that time in the water can sometimes lead to an unwelcome summer souvenir: ear pain.
While swimmer's ear is one of the most common causes of summertime ear discomfort, it's not the only reason your ears may start bothering you.
Common causes of ear pain may include:
- Swimmer's ear
- Trapped water in the ear canal
- Seasonal allergies
- Sinus congestion
- Air travel
- Altitude changes
- Diving or water sports
- Sand or debris in the ear
- Ear infections
Symptoms may include:
- Ear pain or tenderness
- Itching inside the ear
- A feeling of fullness or pressure
- Muffled hearing
- Ear drainage
- Discomfort after swimming
What starts as a minor irritation can quickly become more painful if left untreated.
Summer Tip: Protect Your Ears
To help reduce your risk of swimmer's ear:
- Dry your ears thoroughly after swimming
- Avoid inserting objects into your ears
- Use caution when swimming in untreated water
- Manage seasonal allergy symptoms
- Seek care if symptoms worsen or persist
