The inability to hear after swimming may be caused by cerumen impaction, acute tympanitis and other diseases, and general measures and medication should be taken to improve the symptoms of the disease.
1. Cerumen impaction: When you can’t hear after swimming, it may be caused by water in the ear canal, which makes the cerumen impaction swell and block the outer ear canal. The cerumen can be removed by a specialist through professional instruments or flushed out with saline after sufficiently softening and diluting the cerumen with 5% sodium bicarbonate ear drops.
2. Acute tympanitis: When you can’t hear after swimming, it is also considered that the pathogenic microorganisms in the water or disinfectant stimulate the tympanic membrane to produce an acute inflammatory reaction. Saline can be used to fully rinse the external ear canal, and choose ofloxacin ear drops ear bath anti-infection treatment.
There are many reasons why you can’t hear your ears after swimming, so we suggest that you consult a doctor to find out the cause of the problem and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
