Hello everyone,
After becoming an O/W certified diver and loving it!, I've been doing a lot of reading and research on the sport of diving. I'm interested in getting my Rescue cert. and came across some literature that described an ear problem.
"An irritating and potentially very dangerous medical problem that results from a high alkaline PH in the ear canal. Symptoms of this condition can range from minor itch to severe pain, closure of the canal and fever. Infection from lack of quick treatment can cause permanent loss of hearing."
Does anyone know what the name of this divers malady is?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
