Foreign Object In Ear

A foreign object in the ear can cause pain and hearing loss. Adults usually you know if an object is stuck in your ear, but small children may not be aware of it.

Treatment:

1. Use gravity by tilting the victim’s head to the affected side.

2. Never use a tool such as a cotton swab or paperclip, to remove a foreign object. You risk pushing the object farther into the ear and damaging the sensitive structures of the middle ear.

3. If the object is visible, try grasping it with tweezers.

4. Seek medical attention if the person experiences extreme pain, bleeding or discharge from the ear. These are symptoms of a perforation of the eardrum.
