Sounds funny but...: Having scuba dived for yrs it works. Tip your head to affected side and hop with force on the foot on that side raising the other;hop on rt ft if rt ear. May take a few times but it works. If this does not work and pain ensues then see ENT asap.

Wax-Vac: There is an 'as-seen-on-tv' device called the waxvac that is made just for this purpose. I have never used one personally, but they sell them at bed bath & beyond.
