If I have surfers ear or an ear infection, like swimmers ear, can I use Macks® EarDryer?
You should first consult your physician any time you are having problems with your ears. Once you have done that, you can safely use the EarDryer to keep your ear canals dry by limiting the contact with the ear. With outer ear infections like swimmer’s ear your ears will likely be sensitive. The lack of contact with the ear may require an additional drying cycle to completely dry the ears. Also, be sure to change and/or wash the earpiece with hot, soapy water and rubbing alcohol before using it in your other ear. This will reduce the potential of infecting your healthy ear by using an unclean earpiece in your non-infected ear.
