Ear Foreign Body Removal
Enfield

Normally, when something gets stuck in your ear it is very obvious to you and can be frustrating. You may experience a feeling of fullness, ear pain, reduced hearing and a desire to get it out ASAP. The worst thing you can do at this point is try to use any tools at home and do it yourself. This can cause damage to your ear canal and eardrum, and may result in bleeding and infection.

Our clinicians can do a quick and pain free diagnosis with a microscope and remove the foreign object gently under direct vision.

Occasionally if left in there too long, it can become infected, we can prescribe suitable medication if required.

For children, we recommend you see a specialist in the first instance, multiple unsuccessful attempts can result in your child losing trust in the process which can be make it more challenging for the ENT specialist, when they are eventually seen.
