Since being young my ears (along with my throat) have always been my weak point. I suffered many infections and periods of deafness and this continued into adult life. Along with that came excema inside the ear canals. A horrible conditions that makes you wish you could scratch your ears inside out! Many times this results in infections and deafness. As someone who sings a lot this was a great disadvantage as well as feeling a lot of discomfort.
