Is there any proven benefit to putting a few drops of olive oil into the ear canal prior to diving each day--especially over a multiple dive day period (i.e. liveaboard)??
I heard good things about olive oil, specifically but why can't mineral oil be used or other such oil--the idea being to reduce (and protect against) the drying effects of the salt water, I assume?
And if olive oil is preferable--does it have to be "extra virgin", "cold pressed" or what?
