A selection of foreign bodies I have removed from ears at Total Ear Care.

Plastic ‘stick on’ earring removed from
​a childs ear canal.

Keratin disc covering drum.

A large ring of layers of keratin lifted from the ear canal.

Long sheet of keratin.

Large insect removed with microsuction from pocket beside ear drum 27.2.26.

Keratin sock lining the anterior recess beside the ear drum.

Large wax plug that had curved around in front of drum and into anterior recess.

Disc of wax covering ear drum.

Insect lodged over ear drum.

These are commonly seen at Total Ear Care.
It’s essential to use oil in the ear before your appointment to loosen the foreign body.
