Anyone out there know if any great earplugs that prevent swimmers ear? I have tried some for about 1 month and got double ear infections. I have been out of swimming for 2 weeks and really want to get back in the pool any ideas?

I am one of those people who can get an ear infection if I walk past the pool. My solution is that I must thoroughly rinse each ear at least a half a dozen times immediately after getting out of the pool. If I always do that I'm ok. If I miss it once I can count on problems. Point is you need to find a routine that allows you to swim as much as you'd like. Never give up swimming. I doubt the deafness in one ear is anything but temporary, but I'll leave that to the E,N&T doc. (Last year I went partially deaf in one ear because the wax build up was so bad, but that does not sound like your problem)
