When a year-old man sought medical attention for a blockage in his ear, and a strange "moving" feeling in his ear, doctors found a small black foreign body that was later identified as Cimex lectularius, or a common bed bug. Sadly, bed bugs have more reason to climb inside of your ear. These bugs feed on blood. Most of us are freaked out by spiders, but how would you like to find one in your ear? A woman in China did. She went to the hospital complaining about an itchy ear, and the doctor found a spider creating a web in her ear canal.
Doctors believe it had been living in there for 5 days! Moth and tick. A man in the states had discomfort in his ear and had a friend extract a 1-inch moth AND a tick from his ear canal!
That's enough to make your heart stop. We know why a tick would want to get in there, but the moth is a little baffling. An Australian man went to the doctor complaining of excruciating pain in his ear. Doctors were startled to find a cockroach inside there. The BBC reports that the man tried to get the cockroach out himself, with a vacuum cleaner. As disturbing as it may be, insects can get into your ear canal, especially if they are blood-eating insects like the bed bug, flea or tick though it is quite rare.
It is extremely rare for an earwig to "wiggle" into someone's ear. It isn't like earwigs prefer to be in a human ear. There is nothing in there that they want, except maybe some moisture and warmth. But, they can--and do--crawl into the ears of some people. There are cases of this happening. Some from our own decade.

If your child has tubes in his or her ears or has a history of ear problems, call your child's doctor right away.
The doctor can tell you what to do. If you think the insect is still alive and it does not come out with gentle head shaking, pour a small amount of vegetable or baby oil into the ear canal. This will usually kill the insect. If you think the insect is dead and it does not come out with gentle head shaking, pour a small amount of warm water into the ear canal to flush it out.
A bulb syringe like the kind found in over-the-counter earwax removal kits may be helpful. If you aren't sure the object is an insect, don't put water in the ear canal. If the object is a tightly wedged seed or bean, water may cause the object to swell.
