I've had a recurring ear problem, and am waiting to see ENT (up to 18 weeks - but it's o.k. Gordon was on tv this morning saying things are going to plan), but in the meantime I need to keep my ear covered while riding. I'm using an Endura head band atm, but as the weather improves it's begining to boil my head.

I want something a bit cooler, be able to fully cover the ear, and preferably be wind proof. Any recommendations?

don't be tempted to get one of the 'skull-cap' type ones that goes right over the top of your head i.e. without a hole in, they're frustrating as you often can't get them down over your ears enough.

Can I ask what you're waiting to see a specialist about?

I've suddenly got back in the saddle, and have done some pretty long rides the last few weeks. Now, my ears feel blocked :smile: Had them checked by the nurse and theyre clear, so I'm booked to see the doc.

Just wondered if there was any connection with a lot of headwind and ear problems?

Holy thread resurrection serge!

I had/have exostosis of the ear canal (surfers ear). Had the right side drilled which solved the continuous infection/headaches, though I'm half deaf now. Left side is in need of doing but was not as bad as right side. I always wear a Buff now when cycling.

I keep getting repeat ear infections and headaches. My headaches have been pretty constant through my last bout of ear infection. All the doctors do is to give me antibiotics. I have just got over my third infection since the new year, but still have a constant headache. The trouble is the older you get the less real interest the medics have sorting you out. I would like to see some investigations to try and work out if there is an underlying cause rather than just keep treating the symptoms. Though of secondary importance I have lost weeks off my bike, and for a person in his 60's recovery of fitness isn't as fast or easy as for younger people.
