It depends on where the water is logged. If there's a small annoying drop trapped between some ear wax and your TM, then the above advice might do enough to reduce the surface tension of the water and let it drain out. If you've inadvertently introduced water into your middle ear, then putting drops in the external ear canal will not be of benefit. In that case, a mild Valsalva while sitting upright can help push the water down through the Eustachian tube. Don't do it too vigorously or too often, and if the ear won't clear easily, stop.Hi all,
