Testimonial: Adventurer and film maker Jake Holland on Surfers Ear surgery

"After doing a variety of water sports for over two decades such as white water kayaking and surfing I ended up with very advanced surfers ear. My right ear was mostly closed and my left ear was totally closed. I was getting lots of ear infections and was totally deaf in my left ear. It was time for surgery.

Hearing horror stories about getting the exostoses drilled out, I did a lot of research into alternative methods. The chisel technique caught my attention as it can be done with much faster healing times and no cuts around the ear. Unfortunately there are not many surgeons who can do this in the world, perhaps only 20. 

After extensive research I decided to fly from Europe to South Africa to meet Martin Young.

He did an incredible job and I fully recommend visiting him"
