A 64 year old woman hears abnormal sounds and when she went to the doctor everyone was taken aback. This case report has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine. "A 64-year-old woman presented with a 4-day history of incessant clicking and rustling sounds in her left ear. On examination, a small spider and its exoskeleton (shown in a video) were seen in the ear canal," the case report says.
She struggled to sleep for several nights
As per reports, the woman could not sleep for several nights which was because of the movement of the spider which was creating the rustling and ticking sound in the ear. Doctors in April used a tube to suction out the spider and exoskeleton, reports said.
"She didn't feel pain"
"She didn't feel pain because the spider was very small. It's just about 2 to 3 millimeters," said Dr. Tengchin Wang, the report's co-author and the director of the otolaryngology department at Tainan Municipal Hospital told the media.

This is strange because
Dr. Wang says this is strange because he had seen small creatures like ants, moths, cockroaches and mosquitoes inside people's ears before, but never an insect that molted inside an ear canal. Doctors found the exoskeleton of the insect inside the ear canal.
