Outer ear infections = "Complications of swimmer's ear are extremely rare, except in people with diabetes. One of the ear's primary defences against bacteria is the acidity of earwax. Unfortunately, earwax in people with diabetes is often quite alkaline. This encourages particularly severe infections that can spread into the surrounding bone. This is called malignant otitis externa, and it's usually only seen in people with diabetes or weak immune systems."
So, a balance of acid and alkaline in the outer ear may help aid in curative for ear infections.
Q: How would this affect inner ear infections?
