Swimmer’s Ear vs. Ear Infection: How to Tell the Difference | Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medicine

Did you know that you don’t have to be a swimmer to get swimmer’s ear? In fact, millions of people get it each year from simple things like trapped humidity, extra moisture after a shower, or even wearing ear buds too much. But how can you tell the difference between swimmer’s ear and an ear infection? And what can you do to treat it—and better yet, prevent it from happening in the first place.

On this episode of the Healthier You podcast, Dr. Ashlee Williams speaks with Dr. Nicole Cimino-Fiallos, an Urgent Care physician at Kaiser Permanente about swimmer’s ear, how it’s treated, and steps you can take to prevent it and keep your ears healthy.
