If your ears are blocked due to water logging, then you must not even try to remove the water yourself. Sometimes, water goes into the inner ear and settles down there, and any attempts you make to remove it can actually cause more damage than good to your ear. This is especially true if you have been facing the blockage problem for more than a week.
It is always better to see a physician and get them to drain out your ear in this case. If it is momentary, or if you are one of those people who have a tendency to get water in your ears frequently, but if comes out as well, then you can simple tilt your head to the side of the blocked ear and hope around a bit on one leg. Though it sounds extremely funny, this is actually a remedy which works very effectively and well to remove water.
The sudden jerks accompanied with water flow pointing in the right direction will ensure that the water is drained out well.
Another very effective way of cleaning out ears that have been clogged with water is to maintain a daily routine of cleaning after a bath. Once you finish your bath, take a corner of the towel, roll it a bit, and put it in your ear. Wiggle this about as best as you can, so that the cloth can absorb excess water, and then leave it. This method will dry out your ears properly and will also make way for any water that is trapped inside to come out. If you do this everyday, you can be assured that you will never be faced with the problem of water logged ears again. Another way of forcing water out of your ears is to apply internal pressure. Yawn a bit while tilting in the direction of the closed ear, and you will see that any water trapped inside will suddenly pour out.
