<html> <p><strong>The most groundbreaking ideas evolve when you least expect them. </strong></p> <p>It´s an uncomfortable truth, but I am currently suffering from a so called <em>surfer´s ear.<br> </em>That circumstance unfortunately impedes me to touch sea water, thus to follow my passion. </p> <p>Having plenty of extra time, I started doing a little bit of research about this specific disease. <strong>Along the way I accidentally developed a revolutionary conspiracy theory. </strong></p> <h2>What if Vincent Van Gogh was a surfer? </h2> <p><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/f6/3c/52/f63c52c92db3c6ff52d2885accd56779.jpg" width="500" height="375"/></p> <h1>A surfer´s ear </h1> <p>That´s how a phenomenon amoung surfers (or people who do any kind of sports in cold water) is called. </p> <p>Our ear canal is made from the joins of a few bones of the skull. For some (still not scientifically discovered) reason exposure to cold water makes these bones grow. </p> <h2>It´s called 'exostosis' or abnormal bone growth. </h2> <p>Some of <em>us </em>have even spent so much time in the sea pursuing their passion that these bones have started to cause serious problems. It is a belief that the greater the exposure to (cold) sea water the greater the growth, but this theory has still not been proven. </p> <p><strong>Ususally, one ear tends to be somewhat worse than the other due to the prevailing wind direction of the area surfed or the side that most often strikes the wave first. </strong></p> <h3>I am a goofy surfer, which means that my right foot is standing in front while surfing. </h3> <p>Therefore, my right ear is the one that touches wind and water first. Even though it´s my <em>left ear </em>that´s causing the main problem right now. Strange power of nature. </p> <h2>That´s <em>Goofy surfing regular </em>style:</h2> <p><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CgrG2u0qcVM/maxresdefault.jpg" width="1280" height="720"/></p> <h2>Prevention</h2> <p><strong>You would actually have to go a long way to come across a medical condition that is less understood and more neglected within a sporting community as a surfer´s ear. </strong></p> <p>Yes, <em>wearing plugs</em> is uncomfortable and somehow reduces your orienteering sensibility (which is quite important for surfing). However, wearing plugs stops cold water constantly flushing the ear canal.</p> <h3>Thank God techology is advancing quickly, because the pain in my ear really sucks!</h3> <p>SurfEars™ are plugs that seem to to leave ear infections and medical conditions like the surfer´s ear behind. They protect ears from water, cold air, dirt and bacteria while maximizing hearing and balance. </p> <h2>Vincent should have known these! </h2> <p><img src="http://jghinternet.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/image_face.jpg" width="826" height="584"/></p> <p><br></p> <h3>Maybe the big Vincent Van Gogh suffered from a <em>surfer´s ear</em> before cutting it off. It is said that it was his left one which means that he would have been a <em>regular </em>surfer and not a <em>goofy </em>like me. I wonder if he preferred surfing lefts or rights. According to his legendary paintings he was fallen in love with nature in general. That means that even if he wasn´t a surfer, we would have had a lot in common anyways.</h3> <h3>Every time you find some humor in a difficult situation, you win :)<br> <br> Still smiling Marly - </h3> <p><br></p> <p><img src="http://www.steemimg.com/images/2017/03/07/IMG_8776da0cb.jpg" alt="IMG_8776da0cb.jpg"/></p> <p><br></p> <p><em>Picture source:<br> Title image: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/<br> Goofy surfing: https://i.ytimg.com/<br> Ear plugs: http://jghinternet.co.za/</em><br> </p> </html>
