It may even help to tug on the earlobe in order to open the canal wider.  An alternate method is to stand on one foot and tilt your head so the offending ear faces the ground. Hop on one foot until the water drains out.  Another method is to lie down on your side with the ear facing down. Gravity may cause the ear to drain naturally.  Pretend you are gnawing on some food to move the jawbones around your ears.
