Do you use ear plugs or ear drops?

I think I saw some recommendations for ear plugs in old threads here. I have never used these, but wonder if I should. If you swim for many years and never use those, would it be likely to cause any problems to the ears? Thanks for participating the pool--oops, the poll. :)

    Auro-Dri is isopropyl alcohol and glycerine. The alcohol has a drying effect which is supposed to help any water trapped in the ear dry up.. When I was a youth swimmer we used a concoction of isopropyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. It did help--prior to the use I had frequent outer ear infections. My ears do still hurt occasionally so I use Mack's ear drops after each use.
