Steam is another treatment form that utilizes the power of heat to help remove water that has become stuck in the ear. Just like heat therapy in general, steam encourages the Eustachian tube to open, helping to release water that has become lodged. To use this treatment, add warm water into a bowl, making sure your skin makes no contact with the water. Then, cover your face with a towel, and inhale the steam for around 10 minutes. When finished, tilt your head to allow the water to escape the ear.
