That is not wise. You risk puncturing your eardrum, injuring the ear canal and getting the paper clip stuck in your ear. If it gets stuck DO NOT attempt to pull it out yourself. If done improperly, it can result in the paper clip getting stuck further done the canal. You must seek medical assistance immediately.
My mother once got an earplug stuck in her canal and she had to go to a clinic for removal. Many years ago, at summer camp, shortly after a magician came, at the stupid insistence of his friends, a African boy got a little spherical object stuck in his ear. I think it was around the night of the same day when he complained to his parents that his ear hurt. His parents made the crucial mistake of trying to get the object out themselves which caused it to go down further in the canal. The last I heard, he had been taken to specialists who could do nothing and surgery was being considered.
Is it normal to use a paper clip to clean out my ear?
