Résumé
Using the appropriate instruments and techniques for removing a foreign body from the external auditory canal facilitates the procedure and reduces the risk of complications. Most ear foreign bodies can be addressed on a nonurgent basis, but batteries and caustic materials warrant prompt removal. Referral to an otolaryngologist should be considered for difficult cases or after a failed attempt.
