Stress or BUG: You may be stressed over the incident and can not get the sound of a buzzing fly out of your head, or the fly could be in your ear canal? I would expect you would be able to know the difference, but bugs in the ear canal are unfortunately common and may need to be removed by the Doctor. Good luck.
