During the placement of a mould for a hearing aid by a hearing aid dispenser, moulding MATERIALS entered the middle ear through preexisting perforations in the tympanic membrane. Middle ear foreign bodies are common otorhinolaryngological emergencies and must be removed to avoid complications. Surgical removal of the moulding MATERIALS by tympanotomy was necessary. Here, we report a case of a middle ear foreign body caused by an ear moulding procedure in a 74-year-old woman, and review the related literature.
