Getting Water Out of Your Ear (fyfluiddynamics.com)

TLDR: To remove by shaking one would need accelerations high as 24g, which can damage the ear. A couple drops of vinegar or alcohol in the ear will lower the surface tension and make the fluid easier to remove

If it's being stubborn, I'll sometimes tilt my head and bang my skull with my fist from the other side. I'll also pop my jaw on the water-clogged side, and/or pop my ears.

I think its a big problem that they simulated a highly flexible structure with an utterly rigid one. We can't squeeze the water out, but at the end of the day, we try these things as we find convenient, comfortable, or socially acceptable, only because they work.
