annoyance

I've been getting water stuck in my ears a lot. Like after I take a bath. It's really annoying and this hasn't really happened since I was a little kid and would swim in the pool a lot on the weekends. Is this indicitive of something more serious? It sure is annoying. My accoustics are all screwed up.

It's actually really bad when I chew crackers. I'm having white cheddar cheezits right now, which are like, my favorite thing, and it's totally wrecking my experience.

Get some rubbing alcohol and an eye dropper-- turn your head to the side (90 degrees) and put 2-3 drops in the afflicted ear canal. You will
"feel" it when it hits the water.. then just turn your head back over and let it all run out into a towel. Voila.

My family went swimming all time time growing up, and when we were kids, after leaving the pool we'd all have swimmer's ear. Once we got home all of the kids had to line up in the bathroom so my mom could put drops in our ears.

You could have lots of ear wax, too

I cleaned that shit out vigorously with a q-tip hoping that was the case. Alas, my ears were clean.

You can really impact earwax that way if you're not careful. People commonly do it (including me). That has fucked up my accoustics until the wax is removed. I do an earwash.

Follow Julie's advice...and I'd get a small bottle of drops for swimmer's ear. Two years ago I had swimmer's ear and that was the only remedy.

I swam a lot as a kid too. Almost everyday. I had this problem and had to get tubes put in my ears to drain the water out of them when I was about 10 years old. Sometimes now though I feel pressure in my ears when there's pollen, etc. in the air in spring. Maybe it's your allergies? If it keeps up for too long, go see an ear nose and throat doctor.

Yeah, I will keep that in mind. I don't want some sort of middle ear infection or something. I need my balance.

I had something earily similar like this happen. It was otolary out of control.

You are so funny. How long can you keep this going?

I know this is going to sound weird, but what I have to say is really worth a good listen.

Oh yeah? Are you sure it won't be something I've heard before?

The details might be a little watery for your taste, but when you hearken my advice, you can say AUDIOS to your problems.

Continually hit the side of your head while hopping around on one foot. It didn't necessarily work for Kramer but the mental image of Meredith Superninja doing it is amusing.

Don't forget to put on your bathing suit or it won't work.

Tilt your head to the ground and use a cotton swab. Does it for me. I hate when that happens...bugs me all day.
