It depends: I'm not certain what you are referring to. I am assuming you are referring to otitis externa which is infection in the external ear canal (also called swimmers ear). Excess moisture in the canal or devices that occlude the ear like ear phones can cause infection. The following two websites have excellent patient information: http://bit.ly/1C3SC5Q and http://bit.ly/1HhTGb4
