Your ears are pretty remarkable. Their unique design helps to tip water out of your ear canal, so you can usually bathe, shower, swim, and even walk in the rain with no problems. The ear canal is also acidic which prevents against bacterial and fungal infections.

If you ignore the fact that a misstep with these EarDrops Rose Earphones could leave you with a jamming plastic rose lodged in your ear, these little buds are pretty darn cute.
Designed for women, the EarDrops Rose Earphones from Elecom are lightweight and come in small, medium and large sizes. (When you order the 9mm diameter driver unit you get two pairs of extra ear pieces for an exact fit, which is perfect for all those people whose ears are too big or too small for regular buds.) I think the buds, which cost $49, are fun, but largely impractical.

Remember the rhinestone studded heart eardrops that seemed to take the world by storm? Well Elecom has just released their next set of bejeweled MP3 accessories, dubbed the Ear Drop Aqua series earphones. Boasting the usual heart-shaped design, these ear drops will be available in blue, white, and pink hues and will only weigh three grams (which is a huge plus in my book).

Ear Infections
Middle ear (otitis media) infections are very common in young children. They include:
- Acute otitis media (AOM) is an inflammation caused by bacteria that travel to the middle ear from fluid trapped in the Eustachian tube. Children with AOM exhibit signs of an ear infection including pain, fever, and tugging at the ear.
- Otitis media with effusion (OME) refers to fluid that accumulates in the middle ear without obvious signs of infection.

Otitis media is an infection of the middle ear, the area just behind the eardrum. It happens when the eustachian tubes, which connect the middle ear to the nose, become blocked with fluid. With the infection, mucus, pus, and bacteria can also pool behind the eardrum, causing pressure and pain.

It seems that even simple Summer fun comes with risks, and if you're cooling off in the pool this season, you're at risk for swimmer's ear. When your ear is exposed to excess moisture, whether from swimming or bathing, water can become trapped in your ear canal.
The delicate skin inside your ear can then become soggy and begin to break down.
