Foreign Object in the Ear

What is it?

Anything in the ear canal that normally would not be there.
If left untreated, a foreign object in the ear can cause pain, infection and hearing loss.

Plan of Action:

Remember, if you can't remove the object easily the first time, get help. Also, if the person continues to have pain, discharge from the ear canal, problems hearing, or feeling there is something lodged in the ear, see a health care provider.
