I currently have water stuck in my ear after going swimming and I don’t understand how it’s possible.
I understand the principle of water surface tension but I have previously had a camera in my ear and it doesn’t look like water should ever get stuck in there!
I have stupidly put both tissue and a q tip in my ear (being careful not to get too close to the eardrum) and nada…..still stuck in there. Is infuriating.

Try tilting your head to that side and tugging/pulling down (like towards your shoulder) on your earlobe. Do it several times if you need to, it usually works for me. I’ve also heard a cotton ball soaked in alcohols can draw the water out.
As for your ears, I think it has something to do with your Eustachian tubes
