A commercial divers trick
You have to get your ears clean and keep them clean. Best place to be sure they are clean is to see your doctor. After that, I use hydrogen peroxide followed by a 50/50 mixture of white vinager and mineral oil. The vinager kills bacteria and the mineral oil keeps the ear moist and displaces water.
In addition to normal clearning, do this before and after every dive.
Another old practice was to take a Sudafed (the very basic small ones) each diving morning and a squeeze of Afrin to dry your sinuses.
