| 1274531 | 2012-05-10 19:49:00 | Husband woke me at 2am this morning complaining of the noise. He had an insect stuck in his ear. After attempting to remove it with tweezers, holding a torch to see and holding his ear open more (which required me to use all 3 hands), he went down to A&E. On the way it finally found it's way out. Dr said it had caused quite a bit of scratching in it's struggles to go the wrong way. Glad my hair is long enough to cover my ears....... |

| 1274532 | 2012-05-10 19:57:00 | Hmm, my borderline senile mother was remarking last night about all the insect noise outside. I couldn't hear any insects. I assumed it was tinitus or yet another manifestation of her diminishing mental status. Maybe I'd better look down her ear canals instead (yuck). Thanks for the concept, |

| 1274537 | 2012-05-11 02:33:00 | I had a similar problem when I was out in the bush for a few days and a moth flew into my ear. It's buzzing drove me crazy and I was sure that I could hear it squealing, "Let me out of here". Anyway next morning the moth appeared to have gone so I carried on with my two day trek to get out of the bush. I thought no more about it. I was in the Army at the time a few days later I had to go for my six monthly medical check up. The Medic must have peered into my ears as he said, "You have a bloody big moth in your ear". The moth was extracted by putting a towel over my shoulder and my ear was given a blast of water using a syringe. It was only a small moth. |

| 1274540 | 2012-05-11 19:52:00 | Well turns out the bug didn't leave, it died. It's still there. I can't get it........he'll have to see his own dr Monday to get it out. | pctek (84) | ||
