All about ear foreign bodies & objects
When an object gets stuck in the ear, doctors call this a foreign body. It is usually straightforward to diagnose. Our ENT doctor will examine your ear with a bright light to identify the object and work out the best way to safely remove it.
It is very important that foreign bodies are removed promptly, before they cause damage to the ear. For children, it is important that an experienced ENT doctor performs this procedure because multiple unsuccessful attempts can result in your child becoming very distressed. It’s important to get the object removed first time!
Safe Removal Techniques
Your clinician may remove the foreign body in a variety of ways. This can include inserting a fine suction pen into the ear (microsuction) or using fine instruments such as forceps or miniature hooks.

"My son stuck a bead in his ear and Riaz was so patient with getting it removed! After two trips to A&E and getting no help, we were so happy Riaz could come so early in the morning and get it removed."

Foreign Body FAQ
Can you remove objects from children’s ears?
Yes, our clinicians are highly experienced in pediatric ear care. We use specialized pediatric instruments and techniques to safely remove objects from children as young as 2 years old.
What if you can't remove the object?
In the rare event that an object is too deep or requires hospital-based theater extraction, we will provide a formal referral letter for A&E and advice on the next steps to ensure your safety.
Is removal painful?
Our goal is to be as gentle as possible. While there may be some mild discomfort depending on the object, we use high-magnification optics to ensure we only touch what is necessary for removal.
