Theres a rumor going around that parasites can hatch in your ears and get into your brain is this true how would you know if they was in your ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear parasites: The person who told you this probably already has something destroying their brain. You can get mites in the ear canal, but they do not get into the brain. Occasionally Ascaris will get into the inner ear from the GI tract, but does not get into the brain. Do not worry about this, it is nonsense.
