Ear we go: stomach-churning footage shows pen cap being removed after YEARS stuck in man's ear

This footage shows a pen cap that had been stuck in a man’s ear for YEARS finally being removed by ‘The Wax Whisperer’.

The stomach-churning video shows Neel Raithatha use forceps to extract the lid.

Dubbed ‘The Wax Whisperer’, Neel runs The Hear Clinic in Oadby, Leicestershire and said the patient had visited his local nurse to have his ear syringed but they couldn’t carry out the treatment because of a foreign object lodged inside his ear canal.

The procedure took less than a minute to remove the pencap, he said, but described it as the “worst item” he had seen stuck in someone’s ear to date.

“The patient advised he must have accidentally dislodged the bottom end of a pen inside his ear as he had a habit of scratching the inside of his ear canal using the back of a pen,” he said.

“The eardrum was fortunately not affected as it was lodged near the entrance of his ear canal. It took less than a minute.

“I was shocked as at first I was unaware of what the object was. It is the worst item I have seen stuck to date.”
