DIVERS EAR
Ear Wax Removal and Divers Ear.I first suffered from trapped wax in my ears during an extended period of skin-diving. At depth (under pressure) the sea water forces its way into the ear canal and lodges there. As soon as you surface and rub your ear, the wax seals off the canal above the trapped water. It is never life threatening – but boy is it frustrating. However in my case I was young and the situation would normally resolve itself over a period of days. Then one day diving off Gozo; I surfaced to find that not only did I have a blocked ear, I also had a very painful ear. Next day I tried to dive again and only descended to less than 20 feet when the pain curtailed my activities and almost immobilized me. This time when I surfaced the pain was excruciating and I had to be rushed to a local retired doctor, who had many years of experience treating local divers for similar complaints. His treatment, which gave me almost instant relief, (he informed me) had been in use since Roman times, when the majority of shell fish eaten in the Mediterranean region was gathered by divers, and the oil for this treatment; always came from Gozo. This is the same oil we use in the Ear Wax Gone kit. The method of use (which is equally important) is also exactly replicated in the kit instruction.

Hence the term sleep apnea which is an illness where the body simply “forgets” to breathe during sleep. Over the course of history free diving has been used for various purposes and divers ear has been widely experienced. In Denmark enormous piles of clamshells have been found during excavations of Stone Age settlements, a witness to the fact that our ancestors collected food below the surface. Along the Mediterranean Sea, free diving is still employed to collect sponges, and in Japan the famous breath holders, the Ama divers, dive and collect pearls, seaweed and shellfish from the deep using only one breath or air. During a tour around the world in 1996, I visited the Badjao, the Sea Gypsies that are boat dwellers in the Celebes and Sulu Sea between Borneo and the Philippines. Badjao are nomads of the sea and seldom go ashore. They live in houseboats and in stilt-houses in the sea. When I came to Cebu port, the young badjao no longer dived for sponges or fish but dived for shiny coins thrown in the water by tourists.
