Outer ear infection Bose A20
Hi everyone,
During the last couple years I have been using a couple different headsets while flying the 737 (mostly Bose a20, sometimes standard Telex).
As I am suffering from a outer ear infection right now and because during the last years while flying I am suffering from this like 2-3 times a year I started wondering if it could have something to do with wearing the Bose A20 headset.
While using for a longer time I notice sometimes that my inner ear gets a little moist which is obviously a perfect environment (moist and warm) for breeding bacteria.
I have the same experience when using my Bose QC35 for a while when not flying.
I am cleaning both on a very regular basis.
Any of you have a same like experience? Or maybe someone has some ideas of alternate an alternate headset which would eliminate this problem?
I am thinking about something like a Telex ANR headset which is basically a on ear instead of an over ear headset like the A20 which would give my ear a chance to “breath” a little more.
