After more than a year of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated numerous restrictions in movement, we dream of spending a holiday under palm trees. A successful rest will allow us to relax and regenerate, provided that we do not experience any unpleasant ailments, for example from the ear.

Water remaining in the ear after swimming is a common cause of discomfort and increases the risk of developing painful ear inflammation – the so-called swimmer’s ear.

First of all, due to the ideal conditions for the growth of bacteria in the ear canal. These are, in particular, a humid environment, high temperature, pollutants in the water and the environment. If we combine it with an incompetent attempt to remove water from the ear, e.g. with a stick, it is not difficult to get into trouble.

The problem concerns not only people practicing water sports, but also travelers going to warm countries.

An example is the holiday story of a family spending their vacation in a hotel by the Mediterranean Sea. In one of the people, after a shower, the residual water in the ear contributed to the development of painful, bacterial otitis. The consequence was the termination of the family’s leave and specialist treatment with antibiotics by an ENT specialist.

Did you know that in some countries, hot tap water is often obtained by heating the water tanks on hotel roofs with the sun? If the tanks are not properly handled, a regular shower can also be a source of contamination, e.g. with a stick of blue oil (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). It is a bacterium that is often found in humid environments and can cause severe ear infections.

How do I get rid of water in my ear and prevent the development of an infection?

Dolphiner spray is a medical device that helps to remove water from the ear canal, restores its natural acidic environment, has a preventive effect against inflammation of the external ear (ear canal).

How does the Dolphiner spray medical device work?

Dolphiner spray ingredients

· Alcohol – facilitates water evaporation (see: How alcohol removes water from the ear)

· Acetic acid – acidifies the ear canal (lowers the pH), creating a natural antibacterial barrier, especially against the bacteria called blue oil rod (Pseudomonas aeruginosa)

· Glycerine – prevents excessive drying of the ear canal

· Peppermint oil – provides a pleasant scent and a sense of freshness

How to use Dolphiner spray?

Dolphiner spray is always used after swimming, provided that you can feel the presence of water in the ear.

What makes Dolphiner unique?

How to use

Dolphiner spray can be used not only immediately after swimming, but also after a day of bathing and playing in the water. It is convenient for the forgetful. Thanks to this, if you forget to take the preparation with you to the water, the use of the spray in the afternoon or in the evening supports the prevention of otitis externa as much as the use immediately after swimming. A more convenient method of application distinguishes Dolphiner spray from oily preparations (e.g. olive) used before swimming.

Properties of ingredients

In addition to the water remaining in the ear, otitis externa may also develop as a result of mechanical damage to the skin of the ear canal and secondary infection with pathogenic bacteria. An example is scratching your skin when trying to remove sand from your ear on a beach. Oily preparations make it easier for sand grains to stick to the skin of the ear canal.

Dolphiner spray evaporates quickly, it is not greasy and does not stick grains of sand to the skin of the ear canal. Thus, it reduces the risk of mechanical damage and the development of infection.

What about after the holidays? Prevention of otitis externa every day.

Dolphiner Spray provides effective prophylaxis against otitis externa on vacation … and more! After returning from vacation, we must remember about the “swimmer’s ear” prophylaxis after swimming in the pool, after a shower and wherever there is a risk of water retention in the ear and the development of infection.

Remember about Dolphin – it’s always better to prevent than to cure!

Dolphiner spray a medical device is available in pharmacies throughout the country or in an online store.
