What's Wrong with My Ears?

[LKunze]

Eino, I'd highly recommend you go see a doctor. It could be an ear infection but worse, it could be a damaged ear drum. I would definately have it checked out to be sure. I got a nasty ear infection last summer that took almost a week to develop. I ended up needing to get antibiotics to clear it up. Since then I have been putting "Auro Dry" ear drops in after every single dive and have not had an infection again. I would like to check into those earplugs though as well. Anyway, good luck and let us know what the doctor says. One more piece of advice, if you are ever in doubt or something doesn't feel right do NOT dive. Two weeks ago I called a dive because I couldn't clear one of my ears due to allergies. The next day I felt better but I still held off diving for the day just to be safe. It's not worth taking a chance.
