Have you ever heard someone say “I have surfer’s ear” and wondered … what is that? 🏄‍♀️

Surfer’s Ear (also known as External Auditory Exostosis or Exostoses) is a fascinating condition where your body grows additional bone in your ear canal… yeah, BONE. 🤯

WHY?
Your body will grow the extra bone to protect your ear from extended exposure to cold water or cold wind.
We typically see this in client’s who have spent a lot of time surfing, swimming in cold/open water, kayaking, hiking and diving.

SYMPTOMS
You may notice that water gets trapped in your ear, you may get recurring outer ear infections and/or wax blockages.
If the growths become large enough, you may experience hearing loss and need medical intervention.

PREVENTION
👂🏻Earplugs to keep water and wind out of your ears (custom made or over the counter).
👂🏻Hooded wetsuits or neoprene caps while in the water / beanies while hiking in cold air.
👂🏻Drying your ears thoroughly after swimming to remove any residual moisture (tissue spears or Dry Ear sprays)

Being in East Gippsland and around our beautiful waterways, I have seen a lot of Surfer’s Ear over the last few months!

If you suspect your might have surfer’s ear - we recommend having an appointment with us to visually inspect your ear. We have a video otoscope to take photos of the ear canal and monitor growth/changes to the bone over time.

We can also make the custom earplugs for you!

You can book online or call us on (03) 4137 1020.

Thank you to the Lakes Entrance Gardening Club for asking me to speak at their September meeting yesterday in Mechanics Hall.

It was great to meet a large group of welcoming and like-minded people. It was a lovely afternoon of laughs and chatter, surrounded by beautiful floral arrangements.

I explained some key audiological topics including causes of hearing loss, different types of noise exposure, surfers ear, tinnitus, what to expect in your appointment and what if you’re not ready for hearing aids.

As a new, local and independent audiology clinic, we are so grateful for the opportunity to meet you all 💚

Whether you’re enjoying the warmer weather with a swim in the ocean, splash in your pool, or a soak at the hot springs - the last thing you want is sore ears. 👂🏻

Dry Ears is hydrophobic which removes any excess water and reduces your risk of outer ear infections.

Pop into the clinic and grab a bottle before your next day in the water. 🦭
