[14] Risk factors include retained water in the outer ear, particularly due to swimming, humidity, trauma or external devices, dermatologic conditions, or scratching the ear canal that may lead to bacterial growth.
Ear infections — including the form known as swimmer’s ear — are also commonly picked up at pools. “Swimmers ear [happens] because you’re getting water trapped in your ear,” says Nachman.

Earwax helps protect the ear by trapping dust and other foreign particles that could filter through and damage the eardrum. [5] Normally, earwax moves toward the opening of the ear and falls out or is washed away, but sometimes excessive earwax can gather and become hard to remove. This is referred to as excessive earwax or impacted cerumen. [21]
