How do you get water out of your ears?

Answer 1

Okay, this might sound stupid, but I am allergic to chlorine and had to go to the doctors a lot because it bothered my ears really badly. The doctor told me to take a blow-dryer and blow-dry my ears but don't put the heat on leave it on cool. This helped so much!

Answer 2

You can mix half alcohol and half vinegar into a small baby bottle. Squirt a little in each ear- some will run out and thats ok. The vinegar kills anything bacteria in your ear. The alcohol dries your ear out.

Another way is tilt the ear with the water and jump up and down a few times. Or lay down on the couch/bed with the ear with the water facing down. This takes longer but works well. DO NOT STAY ON THE SAME SIDE FOR A LONG TIME IF THE OTHER EAR HAS WATER ALSO! Doing so will let that water get in farther which is not good.

If the drops hurt and/or sting when you put them in you have or the start of swimmer's ear. Go to the doctor and get a prescription!

Answer 3

I have found that the best way to get water out of my ears is to either turn my head to the side and sake it until I feel it come out, or if you don't feel like making yourself dizzy, then you can put a drop or two of rubbing alcohol in each ear. The rubbing alcohol will dry out your ear and it will also help prevent any type of ear infections that could be caused by bacteria from the water.

Answer 4

I always kept a 1/2 pint of ever-clear(pure grain alcohol) around the pool area to use after a long swim underwater. put a few drops in with your head tilted over so it wont run out. Then after a few seconds turn your head over and do the other side. It feels like bubbles are in your ear but it works well.

Answer 5

Turn your head to the side, and put a little alcohol on a q-tip in ur ears. Also, there is something called swimmers ear, and it's just alcohol that you drop in. This should help. Good Luck!

Answer 6

hold your head on it's side and shake your head (not TOO hard)... if your swimming and this always happens, just go to the swimming shop and get some wax that you can mold to put in your ears. If the water stays in your ears, you can get swimmers ear which is REALLY painful!

Answer 7

The water in your ears should flow out just by
tilting your head. If it doesn't, you may have a
problem with ear wax build up. You need to
get the wax out first. If you don't, you will
continue to get that plugged ear feeling and
eventually develop an ear canal infection.
Don't use q-tips. It only makes it worse.
Don't use hair pins or tooth picks, as you
may injure your ear drum,
E-mail me and I will describe the process
I use every two or three weeks to get the
wax out. Hope to hear from you.

Answer 8

tilt ur ear which is full of water upward. pour some water into it (from a cup or something) so that it is completely blocked then quickly turn ur head so that ur ear full of water is facing the ground and all the water should come out.

Answer 9

if you have water in your left ear, lean to the left with your left ear pointing downwards.
then, shake your right leg. You look kinda stupid, but you will have no more water in your ear.

Answer 10

whenever your near the water, carry a swimmer's ear solution with you. they're sold in any pharmacy (cvs, walgreens...) put 1-2 drops in your ear, and the solution basically "eats up" the water.
