Dr Santosh Shivaswamy, Consultant ENT at Columbia Hospital said: "It is common to see emergency room visits due to the presence a foreign object in the ear and it takes a simple procedure to remove the object.

"However, when a living insect makes its way inside a human ear, the patient's anxiety makes it difficult to continue the procedure.
