Swim ear helps to remove trapped water in your ear after being in the water, it also kills bacteria that can cause ear infections. Just apply 4 to 5 drops in each ear.
What are Swim-EAR® Drops?
Swim-EAR® is an ear-water removal and drying aid designed to relieve the unpleasant symptoms and potentially harmful effects of trapped ear-water. It is an ear drop packed in an easy to use 1 oz plastic dropper bottle. The complete package is recyclable.
What are the symptoms of trapped ear-water?
We have all at one time or another experienced the unpleasant symptoms of trapped ear-water:
Feeling of pressure in the ears
Painful ear discomfort
Temporary impairment of hearing
What causes water to be trapped in the ear?
The external ear canal can be likened to a tube similar to a drinking straw with a closed end. Once water enters this tube (which is unavoidable whenever one's head is under water), surface tension will cause this water to adhere firmly to the walls of the canal, thereby blocking it.
Why is this water so difficult to remove?
This is due to surface-tension effect as well as the fact that it is extremely difficult to break the vacuum that is created behind the trapped water in the ear canal.
When does this occur?
At any time when water enters the ear canal, particularly when partaking in:
Water sport activities
Swimming
Diving
Surfing
Wind surfing
Even when just bathing, showering or washing one's hair.
How does Swim-EAR® work?
Swim-Ear® works due to its powerful surface-tension releasing properties which quickly dislodge the trapped water from the sides of the ear canal, allowing it to easily run out.
How quickly does Swim-Ear® work?
Usually within a few seconds after usage.
When should Swim-EAR® be used and what is the dosage?
Swim-EAR® should be used immediately after leaving the water. Use 5 drops in each ear, alternately turning the head to the opposite side. Trapped ear-water will rapidly run out or simply evaporate away.
When should Swim-EAR® drops NOT be used?
Swim-EAR® drops are safe for use by adults and children when used as recommended. However, they should not be used if any ear infection is present, if there is any ear discharge, or if you have a perforated ear drum. Do not use on broken skin, or if pain is experienced. Consult a doctor in all these cases. A mild warming or tingling sensation may be experienced by some individuals when using Swim-EAR® and is quite normal. Read the box for further details.
Besides the discomfort, what happens if trapped ear-water is allowed to remain in the ear?
Today, even apparently clear pool or sea water contains pollutants and harmful bacteria. If allowed to remain in contact with the ear, these could lead to painful and unpleasant ear infections which might need antibiotic treatment by a doctor and may lead to the ruining of a vacation.
