How to Get Water Out of Your Ear

by Top10HomeRemedies Team

Water in the ear is a very common occurrence and can happen to anyone. While swimming or taking a bath or shower, water can get inside the ears. Normally, the wax present in the ear canal prevents fluid from going deep inside the ear. But at times, fluid can get trapped within the ear.

This causes a tickling sensation in the ear that can create much discomfort. It may also be accompanied by pain and reduced hearing ability.

If left untreated, fluid in the ear can cause hearing loss, cyst formation, eardrum inflammation and other complications. This is why it is important to get rid of fluid in the ears as soon as possible.

First, you need to find out whether the fluid is accumulated in the outer ear or middle ear. Fluid accumulation in the middle ear must be treated by a doctor.

Fluid accumulation in the outer ear can be treated at home. There are simple and easy ways to remove fluid from the ear.

how to get water out of your ear

Here are the top 10 ways to get water out of your ear.

Contents

  • 1. Gravity
  • 2. Valsalva Maneuver
  • 3. Blow Dryer
  • 4. Rubbing Alcohol and Vinegar
  • 5. Heat Therapy
  • 6. Steam
  • 7. Hydrogen Peroxide
  • 9. Salt
  • 8. Garlic
  • 10. Olive Oil

1. Gravity

The best way to remove water from your ear is to let gravity do the work.

Easy Technique to Get Water Out of Ear
  1. Tilt your head sideways and hold the affected ear parallel to the ground.
  2. Place the palm of your hand flat against your ear and press hard for a few seconds. Quickly remove your hand. A temporary vacuum will form that will dislodge the fluid.
  3. Use a cotton ear bud to very carefully remove the fluid draining from the ear.

Yawning or chewing motions can also help get water out of the ear canal by creating pressure in the middle ear and stretching the ear canal.

Note: Do not insert the ear bud into the ear.

2. Valsalva Maneuver

Performing the Valsalva maneuver will help pop your ears to open the Eustachian tubes and push water out of your ears.

Valsalva Maneuver to Get Water Out of Ear
  1. Close your mouth and pinch your nostrils closed with your fingers, then take a deep breath.
  2. Gently blow air out of your nose to regulate the air pressure. If done correctly, you will hear a slight popping sound which means the Eustachian tubes are open again.

Note: Don’t blow your nose too hard as it may cause damage to the ear drum.

3. Blow Dryer

A blow dryer can also be used to speed up evaporation of the trapped fluid. The warm, dry air will turn the water to steam and eventually help it dissipate out of the ear.

Blow Dryer Home Remedy to Get Water Out of Ear
  1. Pull your ear lobe away from your body.
  2. Hold a blow dryer about 10 to 12 inches away from your ear.
  3. Set the dryer heat to warm and air flow to low.
  4. Turn the dryer on and aim it directly into the ear canal.
  5. Hold the dryer in position for approximately 30 seconds.
  6. If required, repeat again.

Now: Do not do this for more than a few minutes at one time.

4. Rubbing Alcohol and Vinegar

Rubbing alcohol and vinegar is an age-old home remedy to get rid of fluid in the ear.

rubbing alcohol and white vinegar to get water out of your ear

While the antibacterial properties of vinegar will help kill germs present in the ear, rubbing alcohol helps dry up the water in the ear.

  1. Mix together one teaspoon each of rubbing alcohol and vinegar.
  2. Using a dropper, put two to three drops of this solution into the affected ear.
  3. Rub the opening of the ear canal gently.
  4. Wait for 30 seconds.
  5. Tilt your head so that the fluid can easily drain out.

5. Heat Therapy

Heat therapy can help free your ears of fluid quickly. The heat compress will help open the Eustachian tube (where fluid typically builds up), so that the fluid can escape easily.

heat therapy to get water out of ear

  1. Dip a washcloth in a bowl of hot water, and wring out the excess water.
  2. Place the hot washcloth against the affected ear for 30 seconds.
  3. Wait for a minute, and then repeat.
  4. Do this four or five times at a stretch.
  5. Lie down on your side to help the fluid drain out.

6. Steam

Inhaling steam is another easy way to ease fluid buildup in the ear.

steam inhalation to get water out of your ear

Steam will help open the Eustachian tube, in turn encouraging the release of fluid trapped in the ear.

  1. Pour hot steaming water in a large bowl.
  2. Cover your head with a towel and inhale the steam slowly for five to 10 minutes.
  3. Tilt your head to one side.
  4. Fluid will start coming out of the ear.

You can also take a hot shower to draw fluid out of the ear canal.

7. Hydrogen Peroxide

hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is another very effective option to get rid of fluid in ear. Due to its effervescent property, hydrogen peroxide can easily remove the trapped fluid, along with ear wax and debris from the ear canal.

  1. Using a dropper, put four to five drops of three percent hydrogen peroxide into the affected ear.
  2. Allow it to settle for one or two minutes.
  3. Tilt your head downwards to allow the fluid to drain out easily.

9. Salt

salt

Salt can be used to treat fluid in ear as it easily absorbs water. The heat from the hot salt compress also will help the fluid evaporate and relieve pain.

  1. Heat one-fourth cup of salt in the microwave.
  2. Put the salt in a cotton cloth and tie it tightly.
  3. Hold this cloth near the opening of the affected ear for two to three minutes.

8. Garlic

garlic

Garlic is another great treatment to dislodge fluid in the ear. Plus, garlic has antibacterial properties that help prevent ear infection as well as reduce pain.

  1. Press a few garlic cloves to extract the juice.
  2. Put two or three drops of garlic juice in the affected ear.
  3. Wait for one minute, and then blow dry the ear from about 12 inches away from the head. (See Blow Dryer remedy above)

10. Olive Oil

olive oil

Olive oil is a great remedy to facilitate the flow of fluid trapped in the ear. Also, its antiseptic properties will reduce the risk of ear infection.

  1. Slightly warm some olive oil in a small bowl.
  2. Using a dropper, a few drops of warm olive oil in the ear.
  3. Allow it to settle for 10 minutes.
  4. Next, turn your head sideways and remove the oil as well as the fluid with a soft ear bud.

Putting two to three drops of olive oil in each ear before going for swimming will lubricate the tissues lining the ear canal and help prevent water from getting trapped in the ears.

If none of these tips work and you still have fluid in ear, consult a doctor to avoid further complications.

    Hey! Whenever water went into my ears, I’ve always put some more water in the ear to fill it to the top. Then, shook my ear a little bit and let the water stay there for a few seconds. And finally, tilt my head all the other way round. And Lo! The Water’s gone!

      This remedy should be the first one posted!!! I swim frequently and get water in my ears and always have been able to get it out before by shaking my head around. Today, no luck. I was getting frantic when I read this page. I tried the water trick—-why not? already have water in there LOL, and presto! This fixed me right up. Seems illogical, true, but it worked for me.

    • kaitlyn says:

    When water goes in my ear, I tilt my head with afected ear facing sky. Use finger to drop few more drops of water in ear. You will hear some noise. Just at that time tilt head other side. Because of capillary action all water comes out. You will feel warm water coming out. I have used this technique since I was child. Good luck.

    • Malakian says:
      8 years ago

      Not capillary action involved here. The gushing water creates a suction/vacuum behind it.

    A way my mom had done this for me was using a sock (a soft one and clean) and uncooked rice. We put the rice filled sock into the microwave for 50 seconds so it heats up. Then you place the heated sock onto your ear. Keep it there for a while, 10 minutes at the least. The steam helps relieve pain and helps evaporate the water in your ear.

  22. Linda says:

    i had water in my ear from swimming and this tip really works

  25. J says:

    i found that right after it happens, jiggle your head a lot to the sides and then tilt your head and it comes right out!

      It works good I had water in my ear ever since 6:00

  26. Gracc says:

    I found that it works if you stick your thumb or other finger in your ear and make it sort of flat and tilt your head with the affected ear to the ground. This does something, I don’t really want to explain because then other people will be like ‘thats not how it works’ so I’m just saying that now.

    I just got my ear full of water and I found this website and the method worked first time

    Amazing results I must admit just by adding water, can’t believe just by using water to get water out. I had water in my ear, (happened when I went swimming, forgot to wear my ear plugs), for the last 24 hours which made my ear and head painful. I couldn’t neither sleep nor work. For now, what a relief, feels so good after my ear is drained. Thanks a lot for the great advice.

    I put apple cider vinegar in my ear to help with an infection. ACV instantly made the ear feel better. Then it wouldn’t come back out. I tried several of the remedies listed… Nothing. Warm water did the trick! Thank you!

    Omg! It really does work! My daughter had water stuck in her ear for over 24 hrs and was becoming quite upset, it worked first time, well done that man x x

    Whenever water goes into my ear I put a lot of pressure on the affected ear and let go quickly it might take a few times but that’s just my ear:)

    My god .. from past 4 hrs, water was making buzz sounds inside my ear… Tried many things.. finally I tried placing my affected ear on my Palm and created sunction with pressing it in and out… And water drops came out finally.

    First 23 times it didn’t work what I thought so i tried the blow dryer and it worked ?

  41. Tammy says:

    The water method worked miracles!!! But you do need to make sure to move your ear around! I tried what I’ve always done as a child when I git water in my ear from swimming which was to put hydrogen peroxide in my ear but it didn’t work so I found this and tried it!! Who knew?!

  42. Bob says:
    7 years ago

    brilliant the first technique, tried it a few times, really press hand down and violently out, thank you Top10HomeRemedies 🙂

  43. Simon says:

    Awesome, I was hesitant to put more water in my ear! I often get blocked ears when swimming and managed it again on holiday – after reading this, I got some warm water in an egg cup and poured some in, shock my head, left it for 15-20 seconds and tipped my head so it came out, lone behold, it all came out and my ears were clear!

  44. Steve says:

    Very sceptical about putting more water in ear. First attempt nothing… Second one WORKED fantastic. Thanks a lot

  45. Rich says:

  48. Katie says:

    Putting more water into the ear canal worked the first time!
    ‘so grateful for this suggestion as my hearing was greatly impaired with all of the water in my ear.

  49. Mitchellmacock says:
    7 years ago

    Yooooo, this actually worked. The best method is to put more water in your ear and then take that out. Now I can finally sleep peacefully without all that pain

  50. Trudy says:

    I just tied the method of holding my head sideways and making a vacuum with my palm on my ear and quickly removing my hand and it worked great….so glad I looked here for an answer!

  51. Joe says:

    I enjoy skimboarding at the beach that sometimes when you crash makes for high pressure sand and water into your ears. I had some in there for days but using warm water to wash it out worked great!

  52. Cal says:

    WAS SO HESITANT TO TRY THE FILLING UP YOUR EAR WITH WATER METHOD!! FIRST TIME WAS A BIT BETTER 2ND TIME WAS PERFECT ALL CAME OUT!! DO NOT TRY THE EXTRA WATER METHOD IF YOU HAVE AN EAR INFECTION BECAUSE THAT WILL NOT WORK OUT WELL FOR YOU!!

  53. Ken Housfeld says:
    7 years ago

    It worked the second time. Thank you so much. You are a life saver.

  54. Inna says:

  56. Ajk says:

    I will also add one old method of removing water from the ear. In this method you need to keep ur effected ear on one side and another person use a long straw of wheat with little cotton to remove all the water from your ear. He will insert straw in your ear and put fire on another end of the straw with a cotton. Please make sure the fire he make is of low flame and heat do not reach to the hairs and face. After few second the water will start comming out from your ear through straw. It works perfectly and applicable in our village since long long time.

    Number 2 worked my first try but for my brother it didn’t so I would try all of the methods before you give up my brother went through all of them till it got out

    Thank you so much… The comment I mean. I had an ear ache all day. Fixed it on the first time

    • Horse rider says:
      7 years ago

      It didnt work for me. I put a little bit of olive oil in my ear and then put cotten wool in it. I lay with my affected ear up for around ten minutes. The olive oil dissovles the wax which traps the water.

  63. BILLY BOB JOE says:

    Works great!

  64. The Unknown says:

    One of these methods worked awesomely for me!! Now I am relieved from the discomfort I was feeling with my ear and the water. The one that really helped is the Hydrogen Peroxide one. But instead of Hydrogen Peroxide I used water because I couldn’t find our Hydrogen Peroxide…

  65. Lana says:

    I had water in my ear for 3 months! Tried everything even went to the doc who prescribed pills and nothing. Then read the first comment on here (after trying the others) and that one worked! Cannot tell you how grateful I am to not have that crackling sound in my ear anymore every time I move my jaw! Genius

  66. Rita says:
    7 years ago

    Hey when ever water got into my ear all I did was put some pour water in about 2-3 drops then I leave it there for about 10 seconds then I tilt my head to the side and shook it a bit then the water just fell right out of this does not work try reapiting over and over Again until you finally get the water out

  67. veerappa says:

    it really worked for my daughter. Thanks

  68. Anne says:
    7 years ago

    I tried one of the first remedies here – the vacuum one – which didn’t work. Then after reading the comment and responses about filling the ear with water, I tried it too. It worked the second time I did it. So relieved! Thanks for posting.
