How to Treat "Surfer's Ear" with Doctor Hetzler - Off The Lip Radio

http://www.TheSurfChannel.com Tune-in to Off the Lip Radio Show tonight and call in with questions for Dr. Hetzler, the Michealangelo of "surfer's ear" on KSCO 1080AM radio in the Bay Area from 7-8 PM PST, and watch live from the studio right here on TheSurfChannel.com! Medically known as exostosis of the external auditory canal, "surfer's ear" is a serious buzz kill caused by repeated exposure to cold water and wind. Cooling of the ear canal stimulates bone growth that narrows the canal and blocks the eardrum. This narrowing traps water and earwax in the canal, often resulting in painful ear infections and hearing loss. The highest per capita rate of surfer's ear in the world is found in Santa Cruz due to the cold ocean water, year-round great surfing conditions and the large number of surfers who catch waves in howling offshore conditions there for decades. The skin of the inner ear canal is paper thin and there is no insulating layer between this layer and a deeper layer that stimulates new bone growth. After thousands of hours of exposure to water colder than 68º F, usually without ear plugs or a neoprene hood, bone growth may occur, significantly narrowing the ear canal, trapping water inside, and resulting in painful infections and hearing loss. Douglas Hetzler, M.D. an ear, nose and throat specialist at the Santa Cruz Medical Clinic of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, is one of a handful of California physicians using a minimally invasive technique to remove such bone growth. He pioneered and perfected a surgical technique to treat "surfer's ear," restoring his patients' hearing & allowing them to return to the sport they love.
