Alcohol helps decrease the surface tension of water which helps the water to roll out of the ears.

Apple cider vinegar If you notice water stopping up your ears, put three or four drops, diluted in equal parts with water or alcohol, in your ear after showering or swimming. This is a good preventive measure against future infection.

Hair dryer Use the warm (never hot!) setting of your hair dryer and place it about an arm's length from the ear and slowly move it back and forth. Test it on your wrist after it has been running a while before using it on the ear. The warm air will evaporate any trapped water.

Vinegar (distilled white) Put 2-3 drops of full strength white vinegar into the ear every two hours. This will be effective against any bacterial or fungal infection.

� Another similar remedy is to make a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and warm water and apply four drops in the ear three times a day for three days. However, the water can harbor bacteria and fungus. One of the other two vinegar remedies is preferred. Pull on the earlobe to straighten out the ear canal. This will get the drops to their destination. The alcohol may sting, but this needs to be done.

� A third vinegar remedy is to make a 50/50 mixture using equal parts of rubbing alcohol and distilled white vinegar. Put the mixture in a clean eyedropper bottle. The alcohol will kill germs and evaporate any water that's trapped in the ear. Use several drops after swimming. Tilt your head and pull your earlobe to get the mixture into the ear canal. This will help cure swimmer's ear or prevent it from happening in the first place. See the caution warning below.

These remedies can be mixed up in a clean eye dropper bottle.

you've discribed completely what Surfer's Ear is all about, what you want is an ear wax elimination kit, no longer in trouble-free words do you've water in the ear, yet there would nicely be a advance of a few wax to boot, have someone placed some drops of the liquid into your ear, wait about ten minutes and then with one in all those squeeze balls, have someone bypass into the ear and eliminate the continues to be from the ear. which could sparkling the concern up, the subsequent time you bypass surfing, placed some ear plugs on your ear, so that you gained't have this project back.

I swim every day and stuff like that happen to me pretty often.
My trainer teached me many years ago to tilt your head to the side (right if your right year is full of water or left if its a left on, or take turns if it's both) and hop on the same side leg till the water will slowly move out of your year.
It works for me every time I have this problem.
If you still feel like you have left over water in your ear, take a little piece of cotton, soak in the alcohol and leave it in your ear over night. The heat will dry it out.

I hope this will help.

The wife had this a few weeks ago and had many answers. The cure she found most affective was a small drop of warmed Olive Oil on a cotton bud and dripped into the ear.
She now swears by it.

3 remedies that may work for you.
Jump up and down with your head tilted to one side.
Alcohol on a Q Tip (do not insert to far into ear canal)
Baby bulb syringe to suck water out
Hope this helps.

I can't imagine water being trapped in your ear. It would automatically run through to your stomach. I think it's just a sensation one gets sometimes. Don't put any liquids in your ear, just put your finger in and shake the ear.

I heard few drops of alcohol helps release the water because alcohool, is volitile. I am talking about farmaceutical alcohool not your 'personal bar'.
