Water in Your Ear

Dry your ear with a towel.
Tilt your head, waterlogged ear toward your shoulder.
Grab your lobe and pull it down.

my mom always told me to tilt my head and hop up and down on one leg, the leg on the side of your body that the head is tilted on

Oh really??? lol. So did you mind your mother and do it, and did it work? I would always tilt the side of my head and hit it just above the waterlogged ear. Sometimes that helped, I could feel the water oozing out. But it also gave me a headache. :ouch:

I just realized I haven't had a waterlogged ear in, a really long time. I don't remember when the last time I did was come to think of it.
I always used to get back in the water if I was swimming, or stick my ear under the shower and let the water shower right in.

I have a cousin that used to have to wear earplugs because he would get terrible headaches if water got in his ears.

I hope your are not hopping up and down on one leg if the water happens to get in your ear while you are in the shower! You could fall and break your neck!
