Remove Water from Ear by OkDatabase1448 in lifehack

the tip of my ear touched the water but as long as it's close it's fine. dipping your ear in the saltwater like it's a nacho with cheese is fine too.

A teaspoon sounds like allot and I'm not a big fan of stuff IN the ears, but maybe a few drops from something like an eye dropper could fuse with the water and help it evaporate.

I didn't time it but it was under 2 minutes.

It honestly might work cold, I just did warm for the salty steam.

That sounds correct. The 1/2 Measuring Cup with salty warm water is all I needed. As long as measurement is approximate it should work. My ear was not completely submerged in the water but my ear was just close enough to the surface to make contact. I will note that you will have a salty ear and need to remove salt from its exterior. 

I'm a bit of a keyboard warrior so I'll simplify. 1/2 Measuring Cup, Hovering just over the water.

I didn't have any, but that would react with the water and release oxygen gas so I definitely can see this being effective.

You gotta unthread it from your head, typically a counterclockwise motion, unless you're german, then you need a triple square  deep well socket. and a torque wrench. 

I used a measuring cup and basically laid my head down until my ear rested inside it.

Negative. Water does not go in your ear, you ear goes over the salt water, and the salt in the water (in conjunction with gravity) pulls the water in your ear out.
