The diagnosis of foreign bodies in the external auditory canal is based on medical history inquiry, otoscopy, X-ray examination, etc.

1. Medical history inquiry

By asking the patient, the doctor can preliminarily determine whether there is a foreign body in the ear, and understand the size and shape of the foreign body.

2. Otoscopy When the

doctor uses the otoscope to observe the patient's external auditory canal, it can be found that there is a foreign body in the external auditory canal, which is conducive to the diagnosis of foreign bodies in the external auditory canal.

3. X-ray examination of foreign bodies

enters too deep, and when the patient does not find foreign bodies using the otoscope, X-ray examination should be performed, which can not only confirm the diagnosis of foreign bodies in the external auditory canal, but also exclude other ear diseases.
