What is trapped water?

Trapped water means that water gets stuck in the ear canal. Trapped water is a common issue, especially when you spend a lot of time in water. Trapped water typically causes a plugged-up sensation and sounds often appear muffled. Many people suffer from ear pain, tinnitus as well as loss of coordination and balance. If left untreated, there is a risk of developing Swimmer’s Ear, Surfer’s Ear or other types of infections that may result in hearing loss.
