surfer's ear

Has anyone been dealing with surfer's ear? If so, have you had the operation?
Can you recommend a good ENT ?
Thanks,

Jon

I had good luck at avoiding the surgery with Dr. Brian Duff, MD.  He also does the surgery.  Don't discount having your ears cleaned out well in the office by a doc that specializes in ear surgery.  Remove any stray hairs from the ear canal.  Consider fungus med., such as Clotrimazole 1% (used for foot fungus skin), in the ear canal; as opposed to antibiotic.  See a specialist, like Dr. Duff, to help with all of this.  They can also help you decide whether or not you are at the point of needing surgery.
