TOPIC OVERVIEW .
Having an object, or "foreign body," in the ear canal (the tube that leads to the eardrum) is a common reason for kids to see a doctor. Hard-to-reach foreign bodies sometimes need to be removed by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.
If the object is clearly visible, pliable and can be grasped easily with tweezers, gently remove it. Try using gravity. Tilt the head to the affected side to try to dislodge the object. Try using oil for an insect.
