All of the following are non-pharmacologic options for self-treatment for water-clogged ears, EXCEPT

Using a blow dryer on a low setting (cool or warm) around the ear to air dry, avoiding blowing directly into the ear

Tilting the ear downward and gently manipulate the auricle to allow the water to flow from the ear

Using water absorbent ear plugs, after exposure to water, to dry the fluid accumulation in the ears for ages 17 and up

Using a cotton-tipped applicator to clean and soak up the moisture and cerumen from the ear
