We Remove Foreign Objects In The Ear

Our team can remove foreign objects in the ear using recommended techniques and expert training.


We may need to use suction to remove a foreign body in the ear, micro forceps, or other specially designed instruments. We will always consult with you before carrying out any work.


Cotton buds are one of the most common objects lodged in ears, but earring backs, earphone rubber seals, small beads, and even insects can all get stuck in the ear canal.


If it feels like something is stuck in your ear, contact Nottingham Ear Clinic to book an appointment. 


GP practices are usually not able to help with this type of issue as it requires specialist equipment and expertise. We regularly carry out foreign body in the ear removal.

The Risks of a Foreign Object In Ear

Some behaviours can increase the risk of foreign objects in the ear, including:


  • Regular useof ear plugs
  • Frequent use of ear phones – especially noise cancelling ones with rubber seals
  • Using cotton buds in the ear
  • Sleeping in earrings
  • Hearing aid users


If you have an object lodged in your ear and it’s left in there or it not removed correctly, serious risks can include rupturing your ear drum, prolonged tinnitus, and even permanent hearing loss.

What To Do If There’s A Cotton Bud Stuck In Your Ear

You should avoid using cotton buds in your ear, but if you’ve got one stuck, contact our clinic immediately. Some advice recommends shaking your head or even using olive oil to try to dislodge a cotton bud stuck in the ear, but you risk lodging it further.


Getting an object lodged in your ear like a cotton bud can risk irreversible damage to your hearing, so it’s important to get it removed straight away by an experienced professional. The Nottingham Ear Clinic team has the right instruments and training to remove foreign objects in the ear safely and thoroughly.


Even DIY ear wax removal can cause long-term damage, so leave your ears to the professionals and book an appointment with us to have such objects removed safely.
