inner ear? no. middle ear maybe. if you ruptured your eardrum. since you can't look inside your own ears it would be a wise decision to see a medical provider -- someone who can look inside your ear canal and retrieve this cotton swab tip. hopefully you will give up this habit of using q-tips. they are not needed. and potentially dangerous.
a cotton swab tip broke off and seems to got past my eardrum and is caught in my inner ear canal. is this possible?
