WEDNESDAY, May 1, 2019 -- The Connecticut 9-year-old knew something was wrong. Three days after a routine day in the school playground, he felt something"foreign" in his right ear and persistent buzzing noises.at Yale-New Haven Hospital quickly ascertained the cause: An eight-legged visitor, a tick, had taken up residence on his eardrum, which was clearly inflamed.
Using a microscope to help guide them, surgeons used a tiny hook to disengage and remove the tick from the boy's ear. Two doctors well-acquainted with the inner ear said it's not uncommon to have unwanted visitors creep in. Dr. David Hiltzik, director of Head and Neck Surgery at Staten Island University Hospital in New York City, has also dealt with such cases -- and not just insects.
