How to remove water from your ear | Fusion - WeRIndia

Many people enjoy taking a long shower or having a refreshing swim. However, there is one annoying drawback to those. Many times the water gets clogged in ears and it is quite a challenge to remove that water. Here are some easy tips to help you get rid of water that is clogged in your ears.

Jumping up and down

As silly as it sounds, it is very effective in getting rid of water clogged in ears. Tilt your head to the side which has water. Maintain this position and hop up and down on one leg. You can easily remove water this way.

Move your jaw

This is another great way to remove water. Tilt your head to one side and open and close your jaw in a yawning motion. Doing this for about ten minutes will remove water from the ear canal.

Pulling the pinna

Your canal has a built in system in place to help get rid of water that has been trapped in ear canal. The simple trick is to gently straighten out the ear which will let the water drain out.

Sleep on the clogged side

Just lie down on the side of the blocked ear and place your ear on the pillow. Sleeping in this position for about 30 minutes will help you drain water from ear with the help of natural gravity.

Drawing the water out

You can absorb the water from ears by simply draining it out with tissue paper. Roll the end of a tissue paper and gently place it at the opening of the clogged ear. Avoid stuffing the tissue inside the ear. Tilt your head to speed up the process.

Ignoring it

As simple as it sounds, this is one of the best ways to get rid of clogged water. Our ears are naturally made to expel water when you tilt your head several times in a day.
