Water in the ear

Don't you hate it when you get that bit of water in your ear like after swimming? Personally, I do. I am willing to do anything to get that out of my darn ear. I am willing to smash my head with the heel of my hand to get it out. To relate this into something else, why is it that I am not as willing to do this when it comes to getting the water out of my spiritual ears? I can't head God as clearly. I become perturbed on a daily basis with people and myself because that water is still in my ears. Sometimes, I wish I could just clean my ears out to let the water drain. God, may you open my ears to hear you.
