Better to have an: Ear exam using an otoscope. Not advisable because if there's a foreign body, your technique may push it further inside or if there's a hole in your ear drum, your technique can cause the water to penetrate the middle ear compartment. Not a good idea. Have it checked for infection, ear wax, cyst, polyp etc give us a feedback!
