How To Get Water Out Of Your Ears?

I hate it when you get water in your ears while showering. You can't hear right and every time you walk there's like a bass drum pounding in your ear. And after some time I know that it will come out eventually but I don't like the yucky feeling of warm water coming out of my ears unexpectedly. Someone told me that to get it out, you should pour more water in your ear then tilt your head fast to get all of the water out. I haven't tried it yet, I might get more water in than out.

The method works. I have used it many times in the past, and so did my cousins and my friends. Well, a few of them did. When water gets into the ear is small. It cannot get out partly due to the atmospheric pressure. Pouring more water into the ear, usually slowly using the hand, increases the bulk and total mass. When the head is tilted back to the other side, the weight exceeds the air pressure. Thus the water flows out in a stream.

I thought it was just a silly solution, I didn't know that there was a scientific explanation behind it. Thanks.

I just tilt or move my head to the side of the ear where there is water and I jump up and down. Just be patient. It will come out.

Oh, that is a good idea as well. I was thinking more like, blowing air into the other ear.

i had the same experience like you. i remember that the water got into my right ear. therefore i jumped high with my right ear facing below. after few attempts, the water will pour out. are you feeling better now?

I hate when I get water into my ears... I can't seem to hear anything and it sort of hurts when I lay down. I just use a towel or cloth and try to clean my ear! I find it really helps

Hold you hand over your ear so a suction is created and then jump down some stairs. Works every time for me.

The simplest way is just giving water inside your ear hole and when it sounds like fully filled your ear hole than just turn your head down as soon as possible and then all the water will come out together. This is the most simple way and i think there's no other way can be trusted as long as you still can using your head moving. Some people perhaps don't believe on this method because it seems fool. How can we get the water out by giving water again to the same hole. But the fact is this method works. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

What I always do is to press hard of the bottom of the ear hole with my finger, you can press for two or three times, which works well on me.

Well it sounds funny but its true based on experience, it really works better. Pour some more water in your ear, cover it for a while with your palm then let it out, its effective. I like swimming that's why I have proven this right.

ha ha! yeah! that is true. people say you should pour more water in to get the water fully out. but its not gonna work out because doing like that increases water content inside and not gonna come out. i have experienced it many times. better we take care that water does not get into ears.
