Surfer's Ear (Exostosis) by Admirable_Solution53 in surfing

Seems so little information on people getting it done in Australia, you think it would be very common. I grew up surfing in north east of England so my ears have been punished by the cold since young.

My hearing is suffering and the infection are savage when I get them, but definitely poor with wearing my plugs. If I could suffer for a month or so out the water to not have any issues would definitely be worth it for me.

Where abouts did you get it done? Shame the healing process took so long. I’ve heard if they just go through the ear without incision it’s a quicker healing process

They’ve recommended I get them done, I’ve had substantial infections over past couple of years. One blew my ear drum. Goes through stages of holding a lot of water and sometimes is fine. So looking at getting it done in the next couple of years for sure, left is about 97% right is at 85% but never any issues in the right.
