What happens if silicone ear plug gets stuck in your ear?


What happens if silicone ear plug gets stuck in your ear? If a piece of silicone earplug gets stuck deep in your ear canal, squirting water in your ear will probably not flush it out and may force it in more as you squirt water against the piece. Your best bet is to go to an ENT doctor and have them look inside your ear canal and remove the object.


Can ear plugs go too deep?

When lodged too deep, they can touch a person's ear drum and cause permanent hearing loss. So if you are using using foam ear plugs, make sure that you don't put them too far in your ears. Cotton is especially dangerous to put in your ears because they can perforate the ear drum causing permanent hearing damage.
