If suddenly one feels a buzzing sound or an itchy feel in the ear and too horror, one feels a live insect in ear, which can be extremely annoying and is like a nightmare. Insects often get stuck when they enter our ears as they cannot fly or crawl out. First thing is to confirm if insect is there or not; for which pull pinna upward and backwards in adult and straight down in children below 3 yrs,throw light with torch. If it is a mosquito, it might come out with light and if it is other insect, use gravity down position so it might crawl out.
Stay cool, calm and please dont be panic. Being too active, may lodge the bug further in your ear or cause it to crawl further back, or cause damage to the sensitive inner ear or eardrum. Keep objects (like fingers) away from your ears to promote early exit of insect. Sometimes there is no insect or might have come out and just sensation or feeling…
