SWIMMER'S EAR With the arrival of summer and swimming outdoors, one of the most common ear conditions is swimmer's ear or acute otitis externa. This mostly affects children but does also occur in adults. When swimming in the pool or sea, water enters the ear canal leaving moisture that can lead to the growth of bacteria. This can trigger inflammation in the outermost part of the ear (the outer ear canal), this is known as swimmer’s ear.
