No room left for your brain ? ;)

Shake your head violently back and forth.

tilt your head over with the affected ear facing down and jump up and down

Carefully pinch your nose shut, close your mouth and push air into your eustacian tubes with your tongue. (I really don't know how else to explain the process, but this works for me.) You can also try swallowing (just make the motions, don't actually swallow anything) with your head tilted to the water filled side.

In most cases, it is best to leave your ears alone and let them maintain their own healthy, natural balance.

Do not put cotton swabs or other objects (especially if they are sharp) in the ear canal. Avoid prolonged use of earplugs. Both cotton swabs and earplugs can cause irritation, itching, and plug the ear with wax. For tips on removing excess earwax, see the topic Earwax in Related Information.

Keep soap, bubble bath, and shampoo out of the ear canal. These products can cause itching and irritation.
A gentle, warm shower is usually all that is needed to remove dirt or sand from the ear canal. Direct the water into the ear; then tip your head to let the water, dirt, or sand drain out. If dirt or sand remains in the ear after a shower, use a bulb syringe filled with warm water to gently irrigate the ear canal.

Keep your ears dry. After swimming or showering, shake your head to remove water from the ear canal. Gently dry your ears with the corner of a tissue or towel, or use a blow-dryer (on its lowest setting) held several inches (centimeters) from the ear.

If you have had swimmer's ear in the past, put a few drops of rubbing alcohol or rubbing alcohol mixed with an equal amount of white vinegar into the ear after swimming or showering. Wiggle the outside of the ear to let the liquid enter the ear canal; then tilt your head and let it drain out. You can also use nonprescription drops (such as Star-Otic or Swim-Ear) to prevent swimmer's ear.

Follow any instructions your health professional has given you to treat skin problems (eczema, psoriasis, seborrhea) that may cause ear canal irritation.
