Can you tell me how to know if there is a bug in my ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to do: You can suspect it if you have odd feelings of something in the canal, or movement therein. You could put some mineral oil in the ear and drown any bug. Then let the material drain out. However, that would be a bad idea if you had a hole in the drum. At some point you need your doc to look & see.
