[edit] Solutions

re: alcohol + vinegar solution...

would white wine vinegar be ok to use? i tried it and it worked great, but i don't know about using it long term without having a second opinion!

whoever it was who edited the page got this tip from the hospital website mentioned at the bottom of the page, so it seems to be correct. --Ajcee7 13:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

i have a narrow ear canal so water gets clogged in there almost every time i go swimming. i have a white wine/alcohol solution i use. however, it's only useful for drying out the ear BEFORE the infection starts.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.108.233.164 (talk • contribs) 21:46, 28 June 2007

[edit] mild, moderate or severe.

Is it possible to quantify the disease as mild, moderate or severe. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.211.255.70 (talk) 14:20, 1 March 2007 (UTC).

Damn right about the pain, this thing is killing me!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.226.1.229 (talk) 18:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Earphones?

I think I got this because I bought a pair of rubber in-ear earphones, which fit very closely to the opening of the ear-canal. Would any one agree these are a risk factor? Should something about them be added? Malick78 (talk) 10:53, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
