Anyone have any tricks for getting water out of your ear.
Discussion
Ah, the pesky water-in-the-ear situation! Here are a few tricks you can try:
1. Tilt your head: Tilt your head to the affected side and gently tug on your earlobe. This can help create a slight vacuum and encourage the water to drain out.
2. Gravity and hopping: Tip your head to the side and hop on one foot. The combination of gravity and the gentle bouncing motion may help dislodge the water.
3. Ear drops: Over-the-counter ear drops specifically designed to remove water from the ear can be effective. Follow the instructions carefully and consult a healthcare professional if needed.
4. Blow-drying: Set your hairdryer to the lowest heat setting and hold it a safe distance away from your ear. The warm air can help evaporate the water.
Remember, if the water doesn't come out or if you experience pain or discomfort, it's best to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide further guidance and ensure your ears are healthy. Good luck! 💦👂 #WaterInTheEar #EarCare #HealthTips
Try a small funnel w a air pump.
As a diver I have had issues with that often. Never found a good answer. What typical has been issue is a build up of wax in the ear canal and water gets behind. Solution is have ears cleaned.
Sometimes a product called swimmers ear can work. It’s just alcohol based. Stuff. It helps evaporate the water I believe. Also prevents infection which I’ve also had. That shit is painful avoid at all costs
Thanks man . You ever go spear fishing ?
Yep. That shits crazy. Hanging in the blue with dead fish attached to you. Not so smart.
I have also used a bang stick. Basically a rod with a bullet in the end. That’s shits even crazier
In Ireland there's no sharks really , only Baskin sharks and their filter feeders.
I casually free dive for crabs , thinking of getting some cressi hard fins and weights.
Do it
What mask you recommend for like 5 metres or so ?
Oceanic Shadow Frameless Dive Mask, (Great for Scuba Diving and Snorkeling) https://a.co/d/cjfUcXW
Low volume and no frame. Great vision
All my dive buddies and myself use this. I have used many types over the years and this is the shit
Tip for new mask. You need to use a cigarette lighter to burn the inside of the glass. This removes the manufacturing reside of the glass and helps stop fogging. New masks suck
As far as de fogging don’t buy an expensive anti fog solution. It’s a con. A mixture of baby shampoo in water in a spray bottle is all that needed.
I hard toothpaste , didn't know the cigarette thing , thanks man.
What depth should you start considered the low-volume masks? I want something that can look straight down too. Seen a few good cressi masks .
Ask wife to suck it out. 🤷🏻♂️
Ewwww 🤮 Frank!! 😂
Swimmers Ear drops work well for fluid trapped in the outer ear. I don’t recall it causing any pain.
Try the valsalva maneuver. Your Eustachian tubes may not be draining effectively leading to fluid buildup in the middle ear.
Ah yes , the widely known valsalva maneuver , its like riding a bike.
Valsalva thing sounds like a bedroom antic to me
You probably do it all the time. It’s just closing your mouth, holding your nose closed and blowing. It can relieve the pressure in your ears.
It has other applications besides just Eustachian tube dysfunction.
If you have episodes of tachycardia it’s also typically the first thing you do to try to get your heart rate to return to a regular rhythm. #themoreyouknow
Like I said a bedroom thing. Holding nose and blowing
Babe if your lady is doing that, may I suggest you eat more pineapple and bathe more frequently 😉
Pineapple. Do tell
Just eat loads of pineapple and your jizz tastes like a pina-colada.
Just not funky.
Pineapple is great for the woman to eat. For the guy this is the menu:
According to the Kinsey Institute, fruit (especially citrus, bananas, and papayas), spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and peppermint, among others), parsley, wheatgrass, and celery up the flavor of semen.
Im staying away from pumpkin 🎃 spice though.
Wife is allergic to pineapple. 😭😭😭
So much so that you can’t eat it?
Bad enough I wouldn't risk it. LOL
I'm not explaining that one at the hospital.
Trust me they’ve heard worse.
Both of her sisters are ER nurses.
Their favorite is the collection of "how did you get that up there?" stories.
🤣 My favorite story was a guy who presented to an ER that was diverting due to an incoming hurricane. The whole area was under an evacuation order. He drove himself to the ER with an incandescent light bulb up his bum.
That could go horribly wrong.
nostr:npub1m6gvtkek5sq3l82cfh7p3hs62ujxs6r8npre8m6jvvcm28utg05sde2e6g have u seen any bulbs either incandescent or LED.
😂🤣 no but they were somewhere I couldn’t see
🤦♂️
apparently being vegetarian helps too, which excludes most of the fellows around here if I’m to take the memes at face value
We need nostr:npub1el3mgvtdjpfntdkwq446pmprpdv85v6rs85zh7dq9gvy7tgx37xs2kl27r in this conversation
👀 what the hell is going on here?
If she has to hold her nose before blowing , there's something seriously wrong XD.
Tilt your head on the side and make sure your eyes are “uphill” from your ear. Then carefully pour a little isopropyl alcohol / rubbing alcohol in the ear. Let it sit a few seconds and tilt your head to pour it out. Repeat on other side.
