Foreign body: Do not try to pull it out by yourself. Go to the ER. They have the proper tools to use without damaging your ear

Don't keep poking: If SOMEBODY ELSE can see it (and you trust them) and can grab the end with blunt tweezers good. Don't go poking and digging around when no one can see it. In that case if no pain, your doc can get it out tomorrow. Water can make wood swell so maybe don't get water in it for now. If pain go to the ER or an Urgent Care..
