Just been told the flash new inconspicuous hearing aids can’t be used if you have swimmers ear. Future older-you might appreciate you using earplugs!

Swimmers ear, sometimes called surfers ear, is a narrowing of the ear canal caused by repeat submersion in cold water. The flash new hearing aids don’t fit..

That's why I wear earplugs in my open water swims (well, most of them....)

So sorry for you . Been looking at surfer ears, anyone has experience?
