Did you have..

a busted ear drum, or something in the past? I'm just not super familiar with swimmer's ear and am wondering how you get it - other than water getting in and apparently going too far, or not coming back out, or something.. I can tell you from diving, that sometimes going down too fast and not equalizing properly and completely, that I've come close to blowing out an eardrum a time or two.. There are other times that, while equalizing, (holding your nose and blowing through it to pop your ears) they would easily pop and then SUPER popped, that that is possibly the MOST painful thing ever.. Well, other than 2nd degree burns.. although the pain is similar to second degree burns in your ear canal..

Good luck, man.. get better soon..
