Ear canal pain, itching, or drainage that started after swimming? You don’t have to push through it. Get same-day, ENT-focused care for swimmer’s ear, in person or by video.
Swimmer’s ear is an infection of the outer ear canal, the passage between the opening of the ear and the eardrum. It usually develops when water, bacteria, or moisture stay trapped in the canal, irritating the skin and letting infection take hold. Swimmers, hot tub users, and anyone with frequent water exposure are more likely to develop it.
Same-day appointments available. Most insurance accepted.
Ear canal pain isn’t always swimmer’s ear. Other ear, jaw, or throat issues can cause similar symptoms. An ENT-focused exam confirms the cause and shapes the right treatment.
During your visit, your ENT provider may examine the ear canal and eardrum, review your symptoms, and recommend a treatment plan based on the cause.
Virtual ENT care may help with symptom review, triage, and starting treatment for many cases of swimmer's ear.
An in-person visit may be needed if your ENT provider needs to see inside the canal, check drainage, or clear debris before drops can work.
