However, it can accumulate in the ear canal and cause discomfort or decreased hearing just like most foreign bodies. SYMPTOMS Some foreign bodies may not cause symptoms while others can. If symptoms are present, they may include: • Pain • Drainage from the ear • Bleeding • Irritation • Decreased hearing • Buzzing in the ear in the case of insects.
