Purpose Cold water and wind are known to cause exostoses of the external auditory canal. Different prevalences in different sports have been described in the literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of external auditory exostosis (EAE) and EAE severity in coastal German wind- and kitesurfers who are exposed to cold water and strong winds. Furthermore, influencing factors such as the total exposure time and frequency of activity as well as the correlations between symptoms and the severity of EAE were investigated. Methods In this retrospective cross-sectional study, German non-professional wind- and kitesurfers along the North and Baltic Sea coasts were recruited between September 2020 and November 2020. Each participant was interviewed about exposure time and otological symptoms and underwent bilateral video otoscopic examination to determine EAE severity. Results A total of 241 ears from 130 subjects were analysed. The prevalence of EAE was 75.1%. In 19.9% of the participants, severe EAE was found. Exposure time and the frequency of activity had significant effects on the severity of EAE. Compared to surfers, EAE growth seems to progress faster in wind- and kitesurfers. The number of symptoms requiring medical treatment increased when two-thirds of the external auditory canal was obstructed. Conclusion The prevalence of EAE in wind- and kitesurfers is high. Total exposure time and the frequency of activity influence EAE growth. EAE growth occurs faster in wind- and kitesurfers than in surfers. The additional influence of wind and the evaporative cooling of the EAC are thought to be responsible. The results of this study should increase awareness of the dynamics of EAE among ENT specialists and improve patient counselling.

“…In this study, participants with less than 10 years of exposure had a prevalence of EAE of 61%, which is 1.3 times higher than that reported in a study by Altuna Mariezkurrena et al [36]. That study reported a prevalence of EAE of 27% in 41 surfers in Spain.…”

“…The majority of patients are asymptomatic and aural care to microsuction impacted wax and debris is only required infrequently. Those with exostoses severely obstructing the EAC are prone to recurrent episodes of otitis externa and related conductive hearing loss [6] ; surgical resection is considered when there is severe EAC obstruction, along with severely symptomatic patients [5] , [14] , [15] . When surfers are made aware of the risk of developing EAC exostosis, the use of preventative measures (e.g.…”

“…Cabe señalar que independientemente de su etiopatogenia, el crecimiento paulatino de hueso propio de la ECAE es asintomático en sus inicios, por lo que su detección no suele ser temprana. El tratamiento de ECAE de grado severo es quirúrgico (Altuna Mariezkurrena et al, 2006;Wong et al, 1999), implicando entre otras medidas, que la persona deba detener la práctica en agua al menos 3 meses posteriores a la cirugía. Es por ello que la detección temprana es clave, y más aún su prevención.…”

La exóstosis del conducto auditivo externo (ECAE), también conocida como oído de surfista, es una alteración del tejido óseo del oído externo, principalmente causada debido a la sobrexposición al frío. Considerando que los practicantes de deportes acuáticos como el surf y bodyboard de las costas del pacífico sur se exponen a aguas con temperaturas entre 12-16 °C, se busca determinar, en este estudio, la prevalencia y grado de ECAE en practicantes de surf y bodyboard de las localidades de Reñaca y Concón durante el año 2018. Se realizó una evaluación del CAE mediante video-otoscopía a 67 personas (134 oídos) practicantes de surf y bodyboard de las playas de Reñaca y Concón, y se les aplicó un cuestionario respecto a sus hábitos de práctica. Como resultado, se observó una prevalencia de ECAE del 77,6%, siendo el 61,2% ECAE bilateral y el 16,4% ECAE unilateral. Se pudo determinar, además, que el 62,3% de los participantes no usa protecciones. A partir de estos hallazgos, es posible concluir que existe una alta prevalencia de la ECAE en practicantes de surf y bodyboard en las costas centrales chilenas, lo que debería alertar tanto a la población practicante como a profesionales de la salud auditiva con el fin de promover una vida saludable en esta población.
