Watch: Cotton bud pulled out of man's ear ten years later
Updated | By Damon Beard
If you're someone who loves the sensation of cleaning your ears, you may want to learn about the dangers of the practise by watching this disturbing video.
I remembered having an ear ache once and smiled sheepishly when the ENT specialist asked me if I’d used an earbud to clean my ear. I remember him saying: “The only thing you should put down your ear is your elbow”.
But that feeling of an earbud in your ear is the best, right? It's an indescribable sensation as the clean earbud goes into your ear, and leaves you making all kinds of weird faces.

I guess the feeling was just the same for this guy too when the cotton bud he used got stuck down his ear, and it’s only just been removed – 10 years later!
It is reported that he heard a weird muffling sound in his ear, and he experienced terrible ear aches. He assumed that the cotton bud fell out of his ear all those years ago, but clearly not.
Thankfully, he found an ENT specialist who is used to people getting weird things stuck in their ears. I'm sure he's going to be extra cautious during his next clean!
