When you get out of the swimming pool, use a towel to dry your ears thoroughly. These infections thrive in moist environments, so drying out your ear can help prevent infection. Skip the cotton-tipped swabs, though, as these can increase your chances of contracting the infection. Before swimming, put ear plugs in your ears. Ear plugs will help keep your ears dry while swimming. Mix 1 part vinegar to 1 part rubbing alcohol. Drop about a teaspoon into your ear. Tilt your head so it pours back out.  Check with your doctor before using this solution, as it is not recommended for people with punctured eardrums.  You can also apply the mixture before swimming.  The purpose is to keep you ear as dry as possible and as free of bacteria as possible. If the water at the swimming pool looks murky or dirty, don't get in it. Also, skip swimming in lakes or the ocean. If you spray on hair spray or use hair dye, put cotton in your ears first. These products can irritate your ears, so protecting your ears against them can reduce your chances of outer ear infections. While may be tempting to try to unblock your ear with an ear candle, they actually do not help all that much. Plus, they can severely damage your ear.
