He doesn't know why he stuck it in his ear but it was pretty far up there. It was too far up for forceps or tweezers to grasp and as I'm sure you've discovered the kernel is very smooth. I resorted to a piece of string threaded through a thin piece of thin tubing. I then soaked the tip of the string in crazy glue gel (tm) and touched the tip of the string to the kernel. I waited a minute and voila! out came the corn on the end of the string. His ear canals are larger than a 3-year old's, Thank God. Our next stop was going to be the ER. Good Luck with your situation. Our prayers for a speedy recovery. I just removed a kernel of regular corn, like the farmers harvest, from the ear canal of my 14 year old grandson.
