Ok So I'm Not Sure If This Is The Place To Ask This But Hey Its Flying Related, Heres My Problem.

When I Go Flying or even after my left ear pops BAD! and I'm Talking Bad Ear Infection Bad, This Only Happens when it pops

I Used To Have Lots Of Ear Infections Till I Was about 8, Could This Be a Cause of it?

I Would Like To Get It Sorted Before I Go Solo Next November (2013)

Any Idea's, I would Be interested to hear if anyone else has this problem or if they may be able to shed some light on my problem.

You should go and see a doctor that issues pilots medicals. I think there is a list of AME's (aviation medical examiners) on the CAA website somewhere.

Definitely one to get checked out.

Your ears are one of the most important things for flying as they are directly linked to your middle ear for balance.
A burst ear drum can cause permanent damage if exacerbated by flying. Get it checked out and lay off the altitude until you get the all clear...

Ben.
For me the best person for you to talk to would be Dr Dave Baldwin. He is the Flying Doctor that flies around doing Pilot Medicals. He is very approachable and if you e mail him he will give you a reply. His email is dave@flyingdoctor.co.nz he will let you know what you should do.


He is in Bulls should you need to see Dr Dave.
Q300 Cargo Handling Technician. Normally called a Tarmac hand.
