I have occasionally gotten head hair in my ear canal that rubs against my eardrum and causes a buzzing sensation in the presence of some sound frequencies (e.g., ringing phone). Typically the hair is long enough that I can grab it with tweezers from the opening of the ear canal. At times I have had to put alcohol on a cotton swab and gently go deeper into the canal, the hair sticks to the wet cotton swab and comes out. Neither method has been working for my current symptoms, so I bought a cheap otoscope online and found what looks like a head hair sticking through my ear drum...


Is that possible? Am I interpreting the image correctly?
I am not experiencing pain or hearing loss, just the symptoms mentioned and the sensation that there is something in my ear.
Have you been to your doctor? If so what did he say?
i hope your ok
