I pushed both flaps of my ear over the hole and pushed hard for like 20 seconds, not one hiccup after..... amazing technique.   Finally Comments By: Phil, AWW on 2008-05-28 Thanks, now I can actually have a meeting!   Thanks Comments By: Mike on 2008-06-01 I tried about 1/2 dozen cures I know and they didn't work but yours did. I didn't feel like baking soda and water or peanut butter, but those were the next options. Your solution took almost two minutes but when I pressed harder the hiccups were gone in about three seconds.   Worked big time Comments By: Prasanna on 2008-08-22 i had this crazy hicup that made me throw the water tha ti was trying to drink.. with google.. i tried urs and it did stop the next sec.. belive it or not.. it worked big time for me.. thanks a million for sharing it... guys try this.. close ur ears.. or shut ur ears and hold on ur breath for ten sec.. have deep breath and do it again.. couple or more and it will stop ur hic ups.. thanks again...   thank you!
