III, MD Ear Foreign Body Overview Getting an object stuck in the
ear is a relatively common problem, especially in toddlers. The
vast majority of items are lodged in the ear canal, which is the
small channel that ends at the eardrum. Because the ear canal is
quite sensitive, you can usually tell if there is something in
your ear. Most cases of foreign bodies in the ear are not
serious and can usually wait until the morning or the following
day for removal. The object does, however, have to be completely
removed quickly and with the least amount of discomfort and
danger. Find out what women really need. Pill Identifier on
