Thanks for these tips!! I have purchased a bottle of Swim Ear drops and try using this as a preventative measure. I will also zap my aids with 1 hour of UV each night as well…
I will also wipe the domes with isopropyl alcohol wipes… I also use swimmer’s ear plugs in the shower… Fingers crossed this will help me! 
Ditto on the diver’s ear preventive solution. I brew my own. It is simply a mixture of Alcohol, vinegar and baby oil which I drop in before every shower. This mix will also get rid of any residual wax which will wash out in the shower. I also have a bottle of Barrow’s solution that I got from the vet to treat my canine friend’s ears. It works for human beings as well and has similar ingredients but also has a tiny bit of cortisone for healing.
After puncturing an eardrum twice in the past with aggressive Q-tip use, if things get really itchy and gross I will use nothing bigger than my pinky to ease the itch and clean the outer parts of the ear. The Q-tip habit is a hard one to break because it provides instant relief and feels kinda pleasurable raking around in there. Just stifle the urge! 
Similar in both ears

Presently using Phonak Ambra SP BTE which comes with TVLink/ComPilot

Before that two sets of Oticon digital ITE aids that were marginally better
than nothing.
