Ear Infection(s)

I've been suffering with ear infections for the past few years, both ears. At peak times I got 1 - 2 a month... Last year none at all and last week a severe case. Now I've been at my ppl for the past 2 and a bit years, before that did some skydiving. Never had any effects (none that I know of), yet I have to look at all possibilities as I've had enough! Have been to 2 E,N & T specialists, one on NHS in the UK and one privately abroad (and of course several trips to the GP). Still no definite cause or solution found.

So I suppose my questions are: Any views on flying/altitude relation (I recall that it started before my first skydives) and secondly perhaps with any luck some good advice to stop them coming! They get a wee bit annoying..............

Thanks
