Whats the best way to get water out of your ears?

after swimming

Answers:
Point one ear at the floor and bang the other ear with your hand.
Suck it out with a flexible straw.
Lean your head one way let it drain then the other side.
it is called aqua ear, you can pick it up at any chemist. i have the same problem, i recomend it
or wear ear plugs when swimming.
Let it dry naturally, the biggest thing you should put in your ear is your elbow.
A tap on the head!
A 50/50 solution of white vinegar and distilled water. Put several drops of this in the affected ear. It works wonders, and it's a lot cheaper than AquaEar.
lay on your side until the water drains.. you must do this.. or it will eventually drain but it willl take awhile
either get a q-tip and get the water out by letting the qtip soak it up, but heres another great way
i know it may sound like im trying to make you look stupid, but im not.TRUST ME, IT WORKS!
hop on one foot, have your head tilted to the side, and hit the side of your head your trying to get the water out of.like if the right side of your head was down as you were jumping, hit the right side of your head, but dont hit it too hard!

also you can walk around with one side of your head down so it drains out, and sometimes when none of these things work for me, i jump on one foot and just keep jumping with one side of my head down till the water comes out. otherwise you can do that so the water comes further to your outer ear and then use a qtip
HI

Use Auro Dry ear drops can get them at any place that sells over the counter stuff.. they are normally by teh eye drops

other thing is you can use a q tip. it will abosrb water

try wearing your swim cap over your ears or ear plugs when you swim.

DONT plug your noise and blow to POP your ears as you can force water into your sinuses and end up with infections and more!

Good Luck

alcohol is hydroscopic mesning it loves water, buy over the counter a prodcut called Auro Dry from Dell Labs is the best one I have used.
Do it always after practise.
Is very important for you to know that the alcohol will incorporate all the wate it finds in your ear after that just put your head to your side and expell all the alcohol and the wate will go out with it.
it wll leave your ear dry
my doctor recommended a 50/50 solution of vinegar and rubbing alcohol, use a little dropper to put a few drops in, then poor it out. cheap, easy, fast, and works
Tip your head on one side!
use rubbing alcohal. it works ive been doing it since i was a kid and im a diver now and i do it alll the time! just take a cotton ball and put on alcohal on there and squeeze some into your ear and it evaporates like that! try it!
