Hey everybody, I am hoping for suggestions about swimming and preventing water from getting into my ears.
I have a perforated ear drum and in a few months I will be going on vacation where swimming is a must. I love to swim, but for the past 5 years, I have not been able to because any water that gets through my perforated ear drum causes ear infections for me. I have really narrow ear canals and my ears are slow to dry out anyhow. I have tried all manners of ear plugs and they all seem to leak underwater. I found a swimming mask that is supposed to protect the ears but I don't know how well it actually works. Is anyone familiar with it?
