Foreign bodies in the ear are found mainly in children. In adults they can appear only by accident during the ear cleaning, in children

mostly wittingly during playing. We have inspected 403 patients with suspicion on foreign body in the ear in the retrospective study

in years 2000–2008. There were 150 girls and 253 boys of average age 6,8 years. Foreign body in the ear was found in 368 cases (91 %),

mostly anorganic bodies. The foreign body was taken out in general anesthesia in 16 cases (4 %).
