Don’t Let Swimmer's Ear Pool-Hop Into Your Summer Plans! 🏊‍♂️☀️

It’s July, and the kids are practically living in the water. But frequent swimming can trap moisture in the delicate ear canal, creating the perfect environment for bacteria—otherwise known as Swimmer’s Ear. If your child is complaining of ear pain when you gently tug on their earlobe, or if you notice redness and fluid, it’s time to move past the home remedies. Our latest blog breaks down the exact water safety rules for kids with ear tubes or recurring infections so you can keep them splashing safely all summer long.

Is the Teacup Ride Continuing After You Get Off? 🎢🌀

A trip to a local amusement parks is a classic July tradition. But if the spinning, tilting, or rocking sensation doesn't stop when you step off the ride, it might not just be a temporary head rush. Vestibular disorders or displaced ear crystals (BPPV) can be easily triggered by the rapid motion of thrill rides, turning a fun family day into a bout of severe vertigo. You don't have to wait out the dizziness in a dark room. Specialized otologic care can pinpoint exactly why your inner ear's balance center is misfiring.

Call our Ambler team to schedule a comprehensive balance evaluation.

Ever wonder why children get so many more ear infections than adults? 🤔 It all comes down to basic anatomy!

A child’s Eustachian tube is shorter, narrower, and positioned much more horizontally than an adult's. This makes it incredibly easy for fluid from a common cold or allergy flare-up to get trapped in the middle ear space.
As they grow, the tube naturally angles downward to drain efficiently. But until then, ear tubes can act as a wonderful temporary structural helper. Have questions about how ear tubes work?
