Shaking head is the most common method to get rid of the water trapped inside our ears, but recent research reveals that it can cause brain damage in small children. Researchers have found that the total force required to remove the water from the ear canal was 10 times the force of gravity. This may cause serious damage to the brain. Luckily, there is a solution to avoid this head shaking. The water gets stuck in the ear because of surface tension. By adding a few drops of alcohol or vinegar, we can alter the surface tension and water will come out.
