Surfers, I need your help...

[Sylten]

Hello everyone,

I am a University student and I am currently doing a study that aims to to map the problem different people who perform various water-activities have with their ears and what they do to prevent it. Surfers are one of the segments in this study, so I would be very happy if you guys took 1-2 minutes of your time to help me out!

Thank you very much for your help!

Ive got cauliflower ears and this helps stop the water from flowing in.

You will find that most people on here don't surf enough to actually get 'surfers ear'.

So if you need someone to experiment on..... im willing......provided you don't use needles or scream at me.

Hello everyone,

I am a nasty minded middle aged surfer and I am currently doing a study of a study that studied University students who do hopelessly unscientific surveymonkey studies into subjects that have a considerable history of other studies based on slightly more scientific surveys.

So I would be very happy if you all swiftly answered Anders's survey in true Realsurf fashion, just for the hell of it!

what he means is, get nicked.

Go down the beach and try asking someone there, just not before, or after they're coming out of the water.

Thanks for your help everyone! Really appreciate it.

And to you who try to be funny. I am not doing a scientific study about surfers ear, you dont have to worry about that!

I sometimes get wax build up. Reckon it might prevent perforation so was a bit worried for awhile after candling. Other than that, my missus is always digging at it. Scares the shit when she wants to stick things in there. I sit very still. Nurses! Weirdos! Glad to be helpful

So where's your survey?

interesting its not only surfers that get the bony ear growths, many truckers that have driven 20 years or more 12hrs a day with the drivers side window part down,also get the growths...due to constant [moist] wind irritation..seamen, yachties also from constant exposure.
