The best method is to make sure that your ear is dried out after swimming.  The make ear drops specifically for this. The drops evaporate the water out of the ear and keep it dry.

Try finding someone that does "Ear Candling"\n\nIts a hollow bees wax candle that gets placed in your ear canal the other end is then lit on fire........this creates a vacuum effect (it DOES NOT hurt, i get it done all the time) \nWhat it does is pull out all the old ear wax, old and new infection, helps eliminate: "sinus infections", colds, headaches/migraines, sore throats.....and basically any form of  "head/ear/throat" infections or problems.\nThis has been practised for 1000's of years......the Egyptians used hollowed our reeds.\nDo the research......you'll love it once you get it done (I promise)\n\nStay away from antibiotics...all they do is kill all bacteria in your body (good and bad) it does help for a while.....but all it does is mask what is REALLY causing the problem. It treats the symptoms NOT the problem.\nStart by going to a health food store or a naturalpath and ask for  "acidophilus " all it does is promote the growth of the GOOD bacteria in your body making it stronger then the bad.....it doesnt kill anything just makes your immune system stronger. When your immune system is strong you can fight off infections much easier and faster!!!\nAlso:\nAll acidophilus products are not created equal. \nYou can pay less, but you won’t get more.\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Guaranteed cure:  Get an ear bulb at the drug store.Make a bowel of hot soapy water and use a bar of Ivory soap and make the water very soapy. Lie on you side and squeeze  the hot soapy water into your ear and let it set 10 minutes. Do the same with the other ear.\nRepeat this twice a day for 3 days. Then on the 4th day, use a shower hose and warm water to flush out your ears. I did this when I was young and never needed it done again!

my friends used this stuff called "swim ear" that was drops you put in your ear that dried up the water.  i think it was just isopropyl alcohol.  they said it worked great.

Try a dry paper towel and an Iron.  Keep changing the towel as it takes up the wax.\n\nGood Luck.

Couple drops of rubbing alcohol will help evaporate the trapped water out of your ears.

After getting out of a warm shower clean out your ears with a q-tip this will soften the wax and it will clean out easier. I also go to the doctor about every 4-6 months to get my ears cleaned out really well by them. They squirt water into my ears and break up any of the wax that I couldn't get.

Ok the cut open potatoe and cigarette smoke may both work but DO NOT under any circumstances put oil in your ear canal.  It will never come out without having your ear completely irrigated by an ear, nose, and throat specialist.  Peroxide is one thing because it's not going to cling to every surface in your ear but do not use oil.\nHeating pads and some ibuprofen or similar pain reliever will work quite well.  Trust me I've gone 20 yrs avoiding getting tubes in my ears because of ear infections.  If you have an appointment with a doctor tomorrow, ride it out with the heating pad and pain reliever and you'll be fine.  Without the pain reliever, you'll have a pretty sleepless night but the doctor will better be able to see what's going on inside your ear.  I wish you well.

Go to the Dr and have your ear flushed out.  You will be surprised at the gunk that will come out.  Or, you can buy a product at the pharmacy.  It certainly is annoying.  Whatever you do, don't stick anything in your ear, as once it is blocked like that, it is pretty difficult to unblock it.

Put five drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ear and wait until it stops fizzing (you may have to do it twice) and then put a Qtip dipped in rubbing alcohol to get rid of the broken up residue.

I had ear surgery 5 years ago to repair my ear drum. My doctor recommends hydrogen peroxide every so often to keep both ears clean. Just put a few drops in (sounds like a steak sizzling on the grill),let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse with warm faucet water. Works great!!

EAR CANDLES AT G.N.C.\n\nThey work GREAT!\nI use them because I have really messed up ears. \nWhen I get a cold and my ears plug up, I can't hear anything and it feels like pressure inside the ear.\nEvery time I use 2 to 3 Wax Removal Candles, it clears up right away.\nWorks for colds, earaches and wax buildup.\n\nYou need to use them correctly.\nYou won't regret it!

do a half peroxide half isopropyl alcohol mixture... then put a little in one of the caps and dump it in each of your ears.. leave it there for a sec then dump it out by turning your head over... peroxide kills germs... alcohol will evaporate the water.

This has happened to me.  I finally discovered that there was a buildup of ear wax that had gotten so bad it completely filled the ear canal.  The only way to get it out that I found is ear wax drops you can get at a drugstore.  It usually takes a day or two of putting the drops in and flushing with water. It takes so long its easy to think it isn't working.  When it finally comes out it is a huge relief!\n\nGood luck!
