Preventing chronic ear infections is key. This involves prompt treatment of acute ear infections. It also includes avoiding known triggers, such as exposure to loud noises or water sports without proper ear protection.
Regular ear examinations are important. They help in early detection of changes in the ear. They also ensure timely intervention if needed.
