Pinch your nose and then try really hard to exhale out of it while it's plugged. It's called "equalization." I swim everyday so it happens a lot to me. It'll work. :cool:

No dice...it's in there real good. Maybe I'll poke at it with a q-tip.

Keep at it bro. It's a trick that I learned from Scuba diving. It will eventually work. I promise.

He's right...works well when you're flying and the cabin pressure changes make your ears go silly, also. :cool:

Ohhhh I swim everyday for my team and yeah I just use a Q-tip to get it out. But looks like I'm a bit late.

Here's a trick I learned while competative swimming. Get some Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and pour some in your ear. The alcohol will dry the water out. Swimmers use alcohol to dry out their ears and to avoid the nasty ear infection know as Swimmers Ear.

Whenever you have water trapped in your ear and infection can set in real easy. I highly advise not poking at it with a Q-Tip or anything else!

Pour some Vodka in your ears first!

Glad to hear that you're doing well. :)

What did you do to your back?

Everything's alright and thanks for asking. Just getting older, nothing new.
