POUR RED OIL OR GROUNDNUT OIL INSIDE THE AFFECTED EAR, THE OIL IS HARMLESS TO YOU...BUT IT WILL SUFFOCATE THE INSECT ..IT WILL DIE INSIDE YOUR EAR, AND IT WONT CRAWL AGAIN INSIDE THE EAR TO DISTURB YOU...IN THE MORNING GO TO THE HOSPITAL, THEY WILL FLUSH YOUR EAR...

Poor bleach mixed with petrol into your ear. Then move close to a candle light.

So sorry Op


. Can't just imagine. ..Number thin is KEEP CALM...

Get some oil (baby oil, olive oil, vegetable oil, mineral oil) – stay still and pour in oil gently through the affected ear. This will stop the insect from moving around inside the ear and the insect will eventually die. NOTE: If any of this oil is not readily available, you may use clean water but make sure to slowly pour it through.

Optional step - Wet a cotton ball with alcohol. Squeeze it and let droplets of alcohol go through the ear. Be careful, this may sting and can be painful. The alcohol will evaporate but the smell will pressure the insect to come out. This will also disinfect the ear.

Flush the ear with warm water – use a syringe (without the needle) if one is available to swish it out. Otherwise, a measuring cup with a small spout will be good enough. Let the water slowly overflow and watch for the insect to be flushed out.

Follow Up – make a follow up appointment with your doctor after this removal technique to ensure that you did not damage the inside of the ear during the course of removal.

I've had an insect in my ear b4. It was irritating. I felt all the crawling.
What I did was not safe and I don't recommend you do it.
I cut the tip of a short broom stick and meticulously use it to stir the insect out
. Make sure the broom stick is a smooth one at the edge so as not to Pierce ur ear drum. Use it to press the insect to the wall of ur ear till it dies. Then gradually and carefully draw it out with Broom stick.
Please, be carefully o. Make sure no one is near u to avoid any accident.
Don't with use cotton bud or match stick. It will only push it further. The olive oil is good too. Or a fairly hot water. Anything to kill the insect fast is what you need.
Good luck
pls this advice is highly irritating..i feel like vomiting after reading your post

Depending upon the type of insect. If the insect has very hard cover, it is dangerous because it can travel to the brain cells before the body's defense mechanisms destroy it.



Rush for help any nearest clinic if the disturbances are unbearable.
Re: Insect Inside My Ear Please Help by GRACEGLORY: 11:55pm On Sep 04, 2016
Tilt the head to the affected side to try to dislodge the object. Try using oil for an insect. If the foreign object is an insect, tilt ur head so that the ear with the offending insect is upward. Try to float the insect out by pouring mineral oil, olive oil or baby oil into the ear.

Good luck

Put olive oil inside the ear to kill the insect and stop it crawling around. Then go to an ENT DOCTOR to have the insect flushed out TOMORROW.

Re: Insect Inside My Ear Please Help by johnjay4u2u(m): 12:12am On Sep 05, 2016
put little drops of honey. then sleep.
it will come out by morning.
don't worry. Never attempt flushing the ear by yourself as mentioned by some. You could cause more damage. See a doctor tomorrow if the honey doesn't work.
stay blessed.

My dear friend, in as much as I feel with you on your current situation and appreciate all the advices given on this platform to procure solution, I will simply advise that you simply avoid putting any oil or chemical into your ears that might cause harm to you. My advice on this is: Simply stay calm with the affected ear facing down, and allow the insect which is also looking for a way of escape crawl out thus, as long as you keep panicking the insect feel threaten and might just cause more harm to you (God forbid). See a specialist first thing in the morning. Cheers!

Naturally the inside will die inside the ear. the natural ear gel inside the ear is meant to stop the inside from advancing into the ear by getting it stuck, but must time we over clean the gel making the ear vulnerable. but what you need to do is to get oil like olive oil that is clean and pour it into the ear. let is go in deep and after a few minutes, turn the ear down on the side so that the oild can pour out completely, the insect may come out with the oil.

Get a clean cotton bud apply sheerbutter on it and gently put it in the affect ear, the insect will get stuck to it, then you gently pull out.

If you've not been cleaning your ears to frequently, the oil in your ear should render the insect inactive.

Try again and again till you draw it out. If you can't, see an ent tomorrow.
