Remedies\nFolk\n\nAlcohol, rubbing Rubbing alcohol not only kills germs but causes water trapped in the ear to evaporate. See the remedies below under vinegar. \n\nApple 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.\n\nHair 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.\n\nVinegar (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.\n\n• 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.\n\n• 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.\n\nThese remedies can be mixed up in a clean eye dropper bottle.

It could be what's called "swimmer's ear."  Be sure to dry your ears well after you shower.  Tip your head first, holding a towel against your ear, to let remaining water run out.  Try a hair dryer on low held pretty far away from your ear to thorougly dry it.

Put some peroxide on a Q-tip and put it in your ear and just kinda let it set there. That should do the trick and clean out any bacteria that may be in there.

There is a product sold in most US pharmacies and supermarkets called Auro-dri which will remove any excess water which is still in the ear.  If you believe it is truly an infection there is nothing over the counter which will heal it (you will probably need antibiotic ear drops provided by a doctor).  However there is a product called Similasan earache relief which will help with the pain.  Similisan products are homeopathic (not the traditional medications you and I are used to) and therefore I cannot explain the actual mechanism of the active ingredients, but I have heard from many people that it has helped them with earache pain.

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.

These two methods never fail. Really 'Never Fail'.\n\n1. Pour water into a glass until it is almost overflowing - put your fingers in your ears (blocking them) now bend over and drink from the glass of water - it might tilt abit so a plastic one may be better. Your H'cs will dissapear.\n\n2. A little dangerous - lie down on your back and simply hold your breath for as long as you can - exhale slowly - repeat if the Hc's are still there. Don't overdo this one.

If it bothers you get some specialist ear plugs and you will not get water into your ears. If it is just a minor irritation then use a cotton handkerchief and using your little finger push it int your ear. If it finds water it will soak into the handkerchief. Handkerchief must be clean as you could introduce an infection into your ear. Do not use a tissue as pieces can break off and get lodged in your ear. Cotton buds are not a good idea either as you are likely to poke them down too far and do some damaged. What I do is leave it and it disperses.

Pull on the back of your outer ear while leaning the same way and it should run out.  The ear canal is not perfectly straight.  This will make it more straight.

A couple drops of alcohol, or alcohol and vinegar, you can also use a hair dryer to dry out the ears, but you must use it on low, and not too close to the ear.\nThey have a medicine at the drugstore for swimmers ears, and its contents are mostly alcohol based.If you want more information, just type in swimmers ear into your search engine, there is a lot of info .

If you really want to clean your ears out, go to a health\nfood store and ask for an ear wax cone. It has bees wax and it is in a funnel shape. You light the cone\nand use something to catch the ashes that fall off.\nYou have to keep your head tilted so it runs into your deep\npart of your ear. It is not hot, wont burn you. But when you \ntake it out and see all the stuff it has collected, you will use\nthem all the time to keep your ears clean.  Works wonders believe me. They have like 3 kinds, I like the lavender one.

For a quick home remedy mix a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water. Half and half. Preferably warm, not hot or cold, water. Drop a few drops in and let it stand for about 15 minutes, then flush the ear out with just warm water while keeping your head tipped so it will drain out. Do this a couple times a day. Also, get to the store and get yourself an earwax removal kit. Do NOT use straight Hydrogen Peroxide, it will break down the lining that protects the ear. Good luck....

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.

You might be developing an infection.\n\nUse peroxide for three minutes in each ear then clean gently but not deeply with Q-tips. Then, use rubbing alcohol in each ear and tip to allow the excess to come out. The alcohol will dry up any liquid in the outer ear. If you have fluid in the inner ear, you will need to go to the doctors.\n\nIf what I have directed does not work, go to the doctors in a day or so if you don't want to be in pain.\n\nMy daughter had this problem for many many years and we always did this before seeking further help if needed.\n\nGood Luck

It's possible your ear is clogged with ear wax.  The doctor can flush it out, or you can buy an ear bulb and flush it out yourself with warm water.  Don't use anything else, as the pressure could be too high.  You could damage your ear drum.  The best way to do it is to get in the shower and flush it and flush it with the ear bulb.  Sometimes it takes several times to unclog it.  Once you get it unclogged, then just every time you take a shower, let the water from the regular showerhead flush it out.  If you do that, you may never have a problem again.

Try getting these drops called "Swimmer's Ear." You just put them in and they dry up all the excess water in your ears.
