A boy who has been partially deaf for nine years was suddenly cured - when a cotton wool bud popped out of his ear.
Jerome Bartens was diagnosed as deaf in his right ear when he was just two and has struggled at school ever since.
He said he heard a popping sound, then found the tip of a cotton wool bud in his ear.
His family believe Jerome must have put the bud in his ear as a toddler and the centimetre-long cotton tip came off the plastic stem.

What kind of idiot doctor couldn't see part of a q-tip in a 2-year-old's ear??
Always, ALWAYS get a second opinion! -
That should never have happened. A Q-tip?! No one noticed?!

Are you serious? *shakes head*
Well, at least the kid won't have such difficulty in school anymore. -
Ummm.... the doctors didn't notice the cotton in his ear? "I'm sorry, but we'll just have to assume you're partially deaf in one ear for no apparent reason, and we won't bother looking INTO your ear for any sort of obstruction."

He never saw a Dr, but I guess he can get off the waiting list now.

Well, now I know what to look for if my future child happens to have hearing problems.
If I were one of the the doctors that diagnosed this kid, I'd have a hard time showing my face. -
