Answers:

Chill--if it's just water from the pool or shower, you aren't going to go deaf. A ways in your ear canal is a membrane across it that protects your inner ear. The membrane is called your "eardrum." That's as far as water or anything else can get unless you have punctured that membrane in the past and it didn't heal. You'd know if you did, because it would have hurt like the devil! I punctured mine with a wire when I was three, and I still remember, but it healed over so the membrane is still intact and prevents anything from passing.
You can try positioning your head differently--like hanging over the edge of the bed so your head is upside down. A Q-tip or cotton ball would absorb any water that might trickle out. Or, it will eventually just dry up.
If this doesn't work, you might ask the pharmacist to suggest something that will help dry it out. If there is pain or itching involved, do see your doctor so he can help.
