What are you doing ear?

Today, I discovered that the hearing in my left ear is still good. I haven't been able to hear that well out of it for 2 weeks and I thought I popped an eardrum and waited for it to heal. I stuck a Q-Tip in there to clean it out. Turns out there was actually a dead fly in my ear. For 2 weeks. FML

Same thing happened to me in the 90s. I was on a trip and finally discovered it when I got home.

You need to clean out your ears mor

Insects in the ear are a punishment in a circle of hell if you ask me. How did you manage to go so long without noticing it? The one time I had a fly in my ear it nearly drove me mad until I flushed it out with some vinegar and water. Either your tolerance is super human or it was dead when it got in there.

This is why you should clean your ears regularly, everyone.

Glad you got it out but in the future you should see your doctor to do that. Q-tips can push wax and debris deeper into your ear and cause you to perforate an eardrum for real!
