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. :)

    If the active factor in the ear drops is propylene alcohol, then couldn't we just use the commonly sold rubbing alcohol, which is basically the same thing. I've used this instead of Auro-Dri, with no problems. Your mileage may differ. I've also used peroxide. For our kids, the pediatrician says don't waste your time with drops; use a hair dryer.
