If you’re asking what doctors have removed from people’s ears, the list can be surprisingly long. Some real examples include:
Insects (cockroaches, moths, beetles, flies, ants, spiders)
Cotton swab tips (Q-tip ends)
Hearing aid parts
Earbuds or headphone tips
Small toys (LEGO pieces, beads, marbles)
Buttons
Batteries (especially button batteries in children)
Paper, tissue, or cotton balls
Jewelry pieces
Pencil erasers
Food items (beans, popcorn kernels, seeds)
Pebbles and small stones
Tooth fragments
Excess earwax plugs
Live and dead worms (rare)
Doctors, especially ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialists, regularly remove foreign objects from ears. Insects are among the most common unusual items because they can accidentally crawl into the ear canal, particularly while a person is sleeping outdoors or in areas with many insects.
