What are some different methods of getting water out of your ears?

Question

Recently, after swimming, I have been getting water stuck in my ear. I tried shaking my head, opening up my ear then shaking my head, but it just won't get out! What are some different methods of doing this? I want to know so I don't get swimmer's ear.

Answer 1

this is an oldie but goodie..Jump up and down on one foot at the side of the ear that has the water.. this will dislodge the water..It really works

Answer 2

Hi!! the best way i find is to put a few drops of olive oil in the ears and the water comes out easily. This does not suit evey body. Above all make sure that you have not got perferated ear drums.

Answer 3

Put some peroxide in your ear it helps and dries out your ears

Answer 4

What I do (and it may sound and look strange) is hit the side of my head/ear on the surface of the water repeatedly. The suction dislodges the water.

Answer 5

it looks really stupid but it works.

bang your ear on the top of the water,

just keep doing it untill it comes out.

It's kind of like slapping the surface of the water with your ear.
