When to Consult

Understanding Ear Foreign Bodies in the Indian Context

Children in Hyderabad frequently insert beads or seeds into ears, while adults may lodge insects during sleep. Ajuda offers rapid, safe extraction under microscopy to prevent eardrum damage.

When to Consult Our Ear Emergency Team

⚠️ Seek immediate care if:

  • ✓ Object is a battery, magnet, or sharp item
  • ✓ Ear bleeds or severe pain develops
  • ✓ Hearing drops suddenly or dizziness occurs

Walk in for prompt removal rather than risking home attempts that push objects deeper.

Our Diagnostic Approach

1️⃣ History Review Identify object type and duration to plan extraction.

2️⃣ Microscopic Visualisation High magnification ensures safe instrument placement.

3️⃣ Sedation Assessment Choose topical anesthesia or short sedation for uncooperative children.

4️⃣ Post-Removal Check Inspect ear canal and eardrum; prescribe drops if abraded.

Treatment Pathways

Microsuction, forceps, irrigation, and sedation-backed removal ensure gentle extraction. Post-care includes infection control and counselling to prevent recurrence.

What to Expect: Your Care Journey

  • Arrival: Triage, quick history, topical anesthetic if needed.
  • Removal: Microsuction or instrument extraction under magnification.
  • Observation: Short wait to ensure comfort; hearing assessed.
  • 48 Hours: Tele follow-up to confirm healing.
