TLDR: To remove by shaking one would need accelerations high as 24g, which can damage the ear. A couple drops of vinegar or alcohol in the ear will lower the surface tension and make the fluid easier to remove
Oooh, I usually don't try to shake it out, I just accept to live my life with water in my ear until it naturally leaks. But this new trick will save me some annoyances in the future, thank you!
