Can also bang the unaffected side with your hand while hopping.

If you like but works without the banging in my experience

Thanks. I actually learned this from a small child who showed me 40 years ago.

I just lie down with my head on a pillow and slam it a few times

I'm surprised I'm the first to say this:
Get a bottle of rubbing alcohol, fill the cap with alcohol, put into affected ear. Let it set for a few seconds. Now turn your head over to let the contents drain out.

Vodka also works pretty well, as 'cause anything alcoholic or acidic will do the job. If you're dehydrated and your piss is super concentrated you can use a dropper and drip a few drops into the ear.

Why bother when you can just turn head and hop lol
