Prevention is often the best strategy when it comes to water in the ears. When swimming or washing your hair, consider using earplugs or a swimming cap to prevent water from entering your ears. After exposure to water, make a habit of drying your ears immediately using a towel or hair dryer on a low heat setting. This can greatly reduce the chances of water getting trapped in your ears.
