Why do my ears hurt when I go swimming?

Question

not everytime i go swimming but occasionally my ears hurts after i swim why is that

Answer 1

There is some kind of problem i dont know what its called.Its kinda rare but my sister had tubes put in her ear because of that dont worry bout it tho. She got the tubes, wore ear plugs in the water for a month .Now she's perfectly fine

Answer 2

try using a swim cap and make sure it covers your ears.  thats what i have always done!

Answer 3

swimmer's ear. it can be from the pressure of the water from going too deep or too much water got in your ear. put rubbing alcohol in your ear and lay down. it gets the water out.

Answer 4

It may be the pressure from being underwater, or water getting in them. The same thing happens to me a lot, but I really thought it was because the water was cold!

Answer 5

It's either from the pressure or from getting water in your ear. If it's from the pressure than you should hold your nose with your hand and blow out when your diving down into deep water. If it's from getting water in your ear then after you swim either aim a hairdryer at your ear and dry it out or pour rubbing alcohol into your ear shake it then tip your ear into a towel. It sounds gross but it really works.

Answer 6

could be the pressure on your ears when you dive under or after you swim water could be in your ears..if so then rub the back of your ear and tilt your head until it comes out

Answer 7

because you got water in them. put a cap over your ears!!!

Answer 8

many reasons:

-if u go somewhat deep under water they will hurt from the pressure....But since u said after swimming , so exclude this one

-It may be due to the prescence of too much wax in your ears .. wax will absorb some othe water that reaches and so expand pushing on your drum and inner ear which is veryyy painful..

-It may also be due to cold as said .. which will cause pain specially when u move or run with your ears wet inside and i dont think i know its actual explanation....

WHAT U SHOULD DO >>

1-Go to a specialist to examine your ear and remove wax .. will have to do it once every year ... and just takes 5 mins.

2- When u get out of the water use a handkerchief whith a fingure to dry your eat as u can ...  but dont go too deep using a pen or so ... K!!

mmmm... i think thats all i know ... and  GL
