Oct. 26 (UPI) -- A 64-year-old woman in Taiwan who heard clicking and rustling sounds for several days turned out to have a small spider in her ear canal, doctors said.
Dr. Tengchin Wang, director of the otolaryngology department at Tainan Municipal Hospital, co-wrote a case report for the New England Journal of Medicine detailing the case of a woman who sought treatment in April.

Wang said the woman complained of a feeling of movement inside her ear as well as clicking and rustling sounds that prevented her from sleeping for several nights.
Doctors looked into the woman's ear and discovered a small spider and its discarded exoskeleton inside the woman's ear. They used a suction tube to remove the arachnid and its exoskeleton.
Wang said the woman did not feel any pain from the spider's presence because it was only 2 to 3 millimeters in size -- about .08 to .1 inches.
Man if I was on a ladder and a spider was inside my ear, I’d probably fell
Earwigs are really bad. One crawled into my ear when I was living in a basement in college. Only thing that got it out was pouring rubbing alcohol into my ear. Slept with ear plugs from then on.
Same here, except I was in Haiti on a mission trip. The nurse on our team did not believe me either. 🙄
Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Now he's dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now? I can't see
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly, creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
There he is, wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly, creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
He's come to a sticky end (Creepy, crawly)
Don't think he will ever mend (Creepy, crawly)
Never more will he crawl 'round (Creepy, crawly)
He's embedded in the ground (Creepy, crawly)
Boris the spider

Look at Biden, you can be president.

And along came a spider and sat down inside her.
Reminds me of the time I went to the ear doctor to find out why I couldn’t hear anything in my right (my good) ear. The doctor looked and told me there was a suppository in the ear canal. I told the doctor I just figured out where I put the hearing aid.
I can top you all. Years ago working as an MA, our doc dealt with huge dead moth embeded in earwax and a candle in and up the rear.
