Is rubbing alcohol good for my ears

Question

Almost every time I go swimming I get water in both of my ears, and I cannot stand it! I go swimming every day too. So what I've been using is about a cap full of rubbing alcohol. I lay down, pour it into my ear wait about 30 seconds or so and tip my head on a paper towel, and it worked extremely well. I heard though that it can be bad for your brain. Is it. Am I using too much, should I use a different product. Please help!

Answer 1

It's good for swimmers ear, there is no way it can get to your brain, there's bone in between.

Answer 2

No the rubbing alcohol is not good for ears because it effects ur brain.

Answer 3

I have heard of people doing that and have heard it can really dry out your ear canals so be careful.  

Have you tried ear plugs?  I know they are a pain, but they really do help.

Answer 4

if you use the rubbing alcohol too much it can be harmful.....get some ear plugs or something if you are going to go swimming everyday..

Answer 5

i've heard mineral oil before for removing excess wax but not rubbing alcohol...hope that helps
