Swimmer’s ear does not happen just because you swim a lot. It happens when water stays inside your ear canal for too long. The skin inside your ear gets soft, your natural earwax gets washed away, and germs can grow. This is why swimming earplugs are so helpful. When you use silicone swim earplugs the right way, they can greatly lower your chances of getting swimmer’s ear.
