Donegal’s rugged coastline is perfect for surfing, swimming, and water sports, but frequent exposure to cold water and wind can cause surfer’s ear (exostosis). This condition leads to pain, infections, and hearing loss.

What is Surfer’s Ear?

• Cold water exposure causes bony growths in the ear canal.

• Can lead to frequent ear infections and hearing blockages.

• Can require surgery if severe.

How to Protect Your Ears While Surfing

✅ Waterproof Earplugs – Specially designed to block cold water while allowing sound to pass through.
✅ Hooded Wetsuits – Adds extra warmth and wind protection.
✅ Dry Ears After Surfing – Use a soft towel or drying drops to prevent infections.

Surfer’s ear is preventable – invest in proper hearing protection.
