There
are a variety of methods that divers use to try and prevent ear infections from
happening. Some buy ear drops, others use ear plugs, the courageous try
home remedies, and worst of all, some do the unthinkable and give up diving all
together. While these methods work for some, many divers dislike one or more of these options. The most common method is the use of ear drops. The only
real problem with ear drops is that they not only kill the bacteria, they also
eliminate just about everything that is good in a healthy ear. The cerumen (ear wax) is there to protect the
ear and it gets flushed out with the use of ear drops containing isopropyl
alcohol. This isn’t always the case, but
in many cases the repeated use of ear drops leaves the ear canal vulnerable
until the natural environment can replace itself.
The
Sahara DryEar ear dryer simply circulates safe,
gentle, warm air inside the ear canal and evaporates the trapped water leaving the natural environment in the ear relatively unchanged. It’s the first ever, totally natural way to
dry your ears and at the same time minimize the number of infections due to the
moist environment in the ears after a dive. When used every time you come
up for air, the Sahara DryEar can help you prevent those nasty ear infections
and reduce the likelihood of having an expensive dive trip ruined.
Another
perfectly good reason to own the Sahara DryEar is that you are a scuba
diver. You know you love gear and here’s
a piece of equipment that every diver needs in their gear bag. Think of it as an insurance policy for a good
dive trip.
One
diver we spoke with at the Long Beach Scuba show in 2005 told us about the
swimmer’s ear infection his son had at the end of his trip to Hawaii. It was so bad that they had to wait two days
for the antibiotics to reduce the swelling before flying home. How much extra did that cost and how fun were
those two extra days? The regular use of
the Sahara DryEar on a vacation like that will ward off those potential
infections.
Don’t
wait until your next dive trip to purchase your Sahara DryEar. Get one today and start drying those ears
after showers and swimming. You’ll be
surprised at just how nice it is drying your ears with the DryEar ear dryer.
