Water. In my ears.

Damn, I went to the sauna today and ever since the last plunge into the cold water basin I have water in my ears. It's been hours and it's driving me nuts. How do I get it out, is there a trick?!

I use one of little hand-held water pumps that come with the Otowaxol pack (though I don't use Otowaxol as such):

(It's not optional, for me; contrary to what foolish people, doctors included, tell me: humans don't come one-size-fits-all; my ear channels are too narrow. :)

I hang my head upside down and work my jaw around (chew gum, etc).

Ha! I only now realized that this is an excellent question to ask your flist!

Had never heard of those pumps (wtf??), but sounds like a good idea.

I always jump on one leg holding my head sideways, but it doesn't always work. :/

There's a way to get earwax out of your ears with so-called ear candles, but I've never actually tried that, either. I guess it won't work for water, anyway.
