Have you ever seen (in real life or a movie or a cartoon) when someone is hitting the side of their head against their hand after being submerged? Or hitting their hand against the side of their head, but this can be harmful. That's a thing people do when they get water stuck in their ear. You can feel it rolling around inside but it doesn't get out no matter how you orient your head. Only force, time, or special ear drops will dislodge it.
- googlryas 4y agoThat isn't the question. It's how does earwax stop water from staying in your ear. I suspect it's the opposite. If you have almost no earwax and your ear canal is fully open, water can drain out. But if the canal is say 80% smaller at one point due to wac buildup, then perhaps water can be forced in from pressure and be difficult to drain.
